Is there any advantage in using a computer with two Xeon CPUs

is there any advantage in using a computer with two Xeon CPUs if i had one?
i would think that a single faster one would be a better option.

Hi jyeomans,
Did you get some answers to your questions ?
Could you compare both solutions ?
Thanks

It depends what you want to do. For a normal use with 2 to 4 channels of SDI out a single CPU is sufficient. I once configured a system for 16 HD outs and used a double CPU, GPU and Decklink Quad 2. By starting multiple instances of CasparCG for about 6 channels each that worked nicely. But that is an extreme use case.

So I would go for a singe CPU and GPU setup. My newest system has a i9, a nVidia GPU and two Decklink Duo 2. Works like a charm.
