i5 vs i7 vs xeon

[maxymilion]

Hello, i need a simple advice to buy a processor for best performance to work in adobe premiere pro and ae enviroment.

I have dilema cos i have option to buy i7 4770 and xeon 1246 v3. I heard best is i7 for adobe premire pro, but its almost double expensive. I want buy more expensive core than 4770 or 1246, but i dont know if xeon will be better option than i7? Also does it much more difference beetwen i7 and i5 for video creating up to 2k resolution?

It depends on what type of editing you're doing.

If it's mostly rough cuts / offline editing, the i5 will be fine.

If you're transcoding camera originals to a format for editing and rendering previews a lot, then an i7 would be a better choice.

If you're going to jump into heavy 3D work then go for the Xeon, but that's probably overkill for video editing.
