CPU CPU for 2D

Which would give the best performance for 2d graphic programs (Illustrator, Photoshop):

1. Xeon® E3-1230 + ASRock B75 PRO3
2. i5 2500k (4800) + ASRock Z68 Ex4

Thank you.

 

You can overclock the 2500k, so it will always beat a xeon, even without hyper threading. Thats the way I would go.

 

These programs can be accelerated with the right video cards too. What card are you running?

 

2d work likes more cores

So the Xeon is always faster in its 6/8 core variant more so if using duel CPUs

Only nvidia cards boost certain elements of 2d work

 

Thanks for answers.
