Hi Bill, the adage of 'latest = greatest' does not apply with the Z10PE and v4 Xeons. Large file moving around and opening is pretty rapid, as is launching apps, however from my testing here I get pretty poor performance with Blender/Cycles and KeyShot. I tried AD RedShift rendering software and that was diabolical performance with my CPU's here. Now I admit it could be down to my chips being ES versions.Thanks for the words Martin.
I guess my main goal was to try to regain my loss of messing up with getting v3 CPUs. With the hopes that buying proper v4's in the Z10, I can get back on track with it being hackintized.
The fallout is that I would need to buy an X-Ninety Nine board to eat one of the v3 processors I currently have. I'm mainly using the Z10 for Zbrush, CS6, Resolve and Houdini - that is once it can operate as a mac. I dont want to buy the older Znine board after already laying out the $ for the Z10. I am just hoping this path of damage control would fix the Z10 build.

With my old Z9PE with E5-2667v2 ES chips KeyShot benchmark camera scene gave 220fps
With new Z10PE with E5-2683v4 ES chips the same benchmark scene gives 212fps and I have to have HT off to get that!
So even though the macOS will take 64 threads there are still issues with it (this may be fixed in 10.12.3) regarding 3D rendering performance.
