This video is phenomenal! I feel like a lot of people just publish a list of 5 laptops without going into too much detail (and I get that this works for most people), but I hate spending money without actually understanding what it is I'm buying. I felt like I was back in a college lecture, and LOVED this presentation! Thanks so much Ben!!
I sent my rig to the shop cause i was having problems with it, I'm not the most tech savy in terms of PC tinkering but i do know quite a bit. It's 3am and I'm youtubing/googling possible replacement parts for my rig, looking at the specifications of some parts i was like "huh, I don't even know what half of these means". So now here i am, a little knowledgeable, knowing all these different terminologies and their purpose. Thanks for explaining it in such a way that's easy to understand by breaking them into pieces. Going from the top all the way to the bottom. Subbed!
I have literally become your latest fan, your videos are the best. I have watched about 5 today that clarified information which I have been trying to get my head around for months. I wish I had found your videos when I was studying for the A+ exam. Thank you for your well-thought-out clear explanations.
I'm in the market to buy buget laptop for design and so I was looking at the Notebook 7 Force. After looking at the specs I was a little concerned it wouldn't do the job but after watch your video I feel ultra confident I'm making right decision in relation to my work load. Definitely subbing because this is the best video I've seen explaining CPU performance regarding design and video! Thanx man 👍
Thank you! I rely on my computer to do my job and I just started doing some video editing. Right away I realized my computer could not keep up. After shopping around I was slightly confused on what I needed. Watched multiple videos you did and now purchased a new computer that’s working great.
Thanks for responding. Wow. I know about that laptop, it's quite expensive though. But how does it do thermally when you doing heavy tasks on it. Also, how loud are the fans?
@@praisemogbeyiro6151 Heat was higher than expected to tell you the truth. I put it on a cooling pad/stand with fans so no issue now. Internal fans are noticeable when editing 4k but it's fine for my environment.
Thank you so much for preparing this video for us Non-Techie types. I am buying a new computer and to be honest with you, my brain was going to explore trying to understand all the different options available from Dell, HP, etc. You have done an outstanding job in simplifying this jargon!
Looking to build my own PC and found your channel. It's so great that you're explaining this stuff in an easy to understand way, a lot of other tech channels like to assume that we all already know this stuff so about half of what they said was gibberish to me. Thanks for the great breakdown videos!
Hey Ben great video! I am deciding between an older model ryzen 7 3700x (8 cores) and a new one Ryzen 5 5600X (6 cores). Similar prices...but the older one has more cores...would this be a better bet? or would the new model at less cores be better for some reason? I like games, video editing and multitasking.
Thanks for the content. I'm curious if you have any insight into Photo Merging in Adobe Lightroom? It is an insane process that is very slow, even on great laptops. The 10750h was decent in laptop. But Even my old 7700k desktop spanks the newest macbook pro with M1 chip. Have run tons of tests specific to my function. I'm debating 8 core intel i7 or 6/8 core intel i9 xeon for a mobile editing station. Any thoughts?
I don't know about you all and you Mr. Ben G. but the minute that I turn on my PC I have hundreds of things running in the background automatically without me even telling it to. Even with one core working on one thing don't forget about all the other hundreds of things running in the background automatically. I'm still shocked to even hear that a dual core still exists lol. Android OS on phones and tablets is even worse! All kinds of apps working and updating in the background even if sitting there looking a picture only lol. Now tablets and phones are coming with 8 cores.....almost like a mobile Xbox in your pocket....pretty cool!
Ben- your explanations of CPU ,cores, threads, are brilliant! I’m sold and subscribed your channel. I have one question- In term of speed, should base clock speed to be considered or the turbo speed value ? As I understand ,base would be the better unit as turbo will throttle back and eventually slow down. Is this right? 2. 12 cores 16 threads processor @ 3.4 ghz - turbo max 4.7 ghz, what does it mean? Total speed of the 12/16 processor base speed is 3.4ghz? Or each core has base speed of 3.4ghz ( total 40.8 ghz which seems wired) :). Thanks
Takes a few minutes to sink in but I actually understand it now. My current CPU is a 4 cores/4 threads, that's basically just 4 cores. I guess that's the bottleneck when I'm trying to do some heavy stuff with multiple programs.
I just run everything real-time priority on a 13900KS. Ultimate Performance with core-parking fully enabled. I just play games, and although the PC is not useable during benchmarks like R23 or Passmark, once they complete, the scores increase significantly and everyday use like gaming has the absolute lowest delta for processing. Running everything real-time priority on a computer whose 32 threads are rarely saturated is just fine and almost 100% harmless, for a noticeable improvement in performance that I'd say is even better than what a hefty overclock would grant on its own. I run my 13900KS stock save for Re-BAR and XMP in BIOS. I use Process Lasso for the priorities, CPU sets, and CPU affinities. I didn't touch the actual Windows Scheduler at all.
So... If I don´t multitask why do I need more cores? Assuming they're at the same speed, why do I need 6 cores for 4k editing?over 4 cores. Isn't it 1 core used only anyway?
@Alexandre Fernandes, even if you are not multitasking, your computer is multitasking. There are numerous background processes that are running (also known as services). If you have only 1 or 2 cores, then they will compete with your efforts with whatever you are doing. Also, video editing is one of the types of processing that can bring a computer to its knees. Not all single things that you do will use a single core. Video editors will generally use however many cores you have, and will even use the processing power contained within your video card (GPU -- graphical processing unit).
I am planning to get a desktop asembled and was wondering how to go about choosing the right components processors etc. Thanks a ton, learnt a lot today
I can't tell you how helpful this video was! As well as your other videos I've been binging on today. :) I recently had an issue where Photoshop kept crashing on me, as I was trying to edit 50+ TIFF files. To add to the frustration, with all the TIFF files open, I couldn't get on the internet - Chrome just didn't want to open. Thanks to this video, I'm starting to understand why. I have a 4 Core / 8 Thread processor currently. I'm now on the hunt for a laptop that can handle my current needs as a designer. What would you recommend as a MINIMUM for cores and threads? I'm a graphic and web designer. I do heavy photo editing and often layout 90+ page books. I have PSD and INDD open simultaneously, sometimes AI gets thrown in there as well. I also need Chrome open and maybe an FTP client and text editor, at a minimum. I also like to dabble in video, though I haven't had any video projects from clients...yet. :)
I am so glad you have found my videos so helpful! I would lean towards the latest 10th gen i7-10875H or the Ryzen 9 4900H. Here are a few models to check out: ---> Gigabyte Aero 15 - amzn.to/2XT9WAj ---> Asus Zephyrus G14 - amzn.to/3gQXRDd ---> Razer Blade 15 - amzn.to/3kDzJGa (great as well, but less cores) Just a heads up that link is an affiliate link.

This video really helped me to realize and save a bunch of cash knowing that my 2700k ($336) processor at the time was efficient enough 4 cores and 8 threads to my upgrade to the 13700k ($375)(8P+8E)24 Threads was MORE than enough upgrade and I was able to finally ditch HDD as whole except for backup only these M2 SSD and 32Gb of DDR5 ram working all together makes my system just hum along having a few small to know impact programs running at boot NO PROBLEM 18 sec from power on to Desktop and I'm on Windows 11 my 2700k only supported TPM 1.2 henceforth the major upgrade at least to take advantage for the next 1 or 2 Windows versions. Windows 12 right around the corner now. 12 years out of my old processor ain't to shabby
As far as I know Adobe Photoshop has had multi-CPU (SMP ) capability as far back as 1998 and maybe earlier. I ran a Dual Pentium Pro Intel Motherboard on my Desktop computer at home in 1999, and had Compaq Proliant and IBM Servers with 2 and 4 CPU's when I worked as a Server admin for IBM Global Services 1996-1998, and we had multi cpu Dell servers at Intel Online Services in 1999 and again in 2006. Also a single threaded Program will never use additional CPU's or CPU Cores.
Ben I love your videos, very clear, straight to the point! I'm going to buy the new xps 15 for video editing 4K but unfortunately in my country we just have access to the 6 cores model for now. I'm using the red giant suite, so there is a lot of effects, a lot of work to do. So do you think 6 cores is enough combined with the i7 (I don't have access to the i9 either yet lol). Thanks a lot :)
Honestly, yeah! I think that will be suitable. The i7-9750H (which I believe is the processor you;re referring to) is a really good one. Smart move with the 32GB upgrade.
Hello there, I'm a graphic designer and I'm planning to build a budget pc. I'm currently stuck on choosing a processor. I'm aiming for a mini-itx build and I need to consider the height of the cooler for the cpu. So here's my dilemma, should I go for a 4c/4t cpu (which has the included cooler just right for the case/chassis) or go with a 4c/8t cpu but need to purchase a separate cooler. Again, I don't have that much budget. I usually only open windows explorer, chrome (about 5-25 tabs at times), photoshop, illustrator, and silhouette. So, that 5 processes at most.
You said video editing uses only 1 core and all the other cores are only used for multitasking. then why buy 6 or even 8 core when you can get 4 core? please explain.
A small question which i hope you can clarify.....so if im only going to work on Vegas Pro 4K video editing and maybe photoshop side by side (I never ever multi task more than that), Then do i really need a Ryzen 9 or can i make do with a Ryzen 7 5700g ?
Hey, I quite liked what you said, but I failed to find what I'm looking for here, which is, how much cores is enough and which processor for someone who's using BIM software's and Adobe CC and a couple of powerful rendering engines such as Unreal Engine ? If any one has an answer for me here, let me know. thank you.
yo, sorry for the late question. the example at the end you give is all like x core 2x threads. I'm thinking about getting ryzen 3500 vs 3600. their both 6 cores, but 3600 has 12 threads (3500 only has 6 threads). How much different would that be? Their both 6 cores, so I assume multitasking is fine, but the threads thing, does that mean the 3600 would run software and render the result faster? if so, by how much?
this guy does a great job in explaining. but does jumping from a 8 core to a lets say a 12 core proccesor make a difference when it comes to video rendering?
Hello. I am planning on a laptop for video editing, programming and gaming. As far as now, I have decided to buy a ASUS TUF GAMING A15 1650 ti, RYZEN 7 4800H or DELL G5 SE RYZEN 5 4600H with 5600M. Can you please suggest me which one will be better? Will the 2 Cores more in ASUS TUF would work well or better Graphics on Dell G5 SE would work well.. Also should I pay more for more 2 Cores in DELL G5 SE. Or a lot More for Better Graphics in ASUS TUF A15. Waiting for your reply BTW, I am from India. Both of these variants come around the same price range.. Edit: Both comes with 8 GB RAM. Would upgrade it if needed to 16 GB... Depending on my workload and its performance.
Ben, I seriously can't thank you enough for the valuable info you've shared with us. I've been researching extensively (putting it very lightly lol) the last week or so for my first ever PC build, and this video has saved me a ton of money in the process! Was considering the Ryzen 9 3950x processor with an expensive x570 motherboard, but I feel as if the 3900x will be plenty good enough for what I'm doing in premier pro. The questions that I still need answered is what is the best solution for playing back footage via the timeline in Adobe Premier without any lag? I currently have a mid-2014 macbook pro and recently subscribed to Adobe Creative Cloud, and I CAN NOT begin to tell you the frustration associated with editing footage and scrubbing the timeline in premier pro. So, what would be your best advice on a PC build that's strictly geared towards video and photo editing with Adobe? Am I better off with Intel or is Ryzen going to combat better clock speeds for an overall better performance?? Dear PC community: I Would greatly appreciate any suggestions!
Your best bet for budget video editing is using proxies. They take time to generate, and take up space on your drive, but they'll make timeline scrubbing on bad hardware possible.
Sir as you say one core will work one task at a time so when we use adodepremier for video editing how many tasks work during this single software and why processor with more cores work better?
I thought your point about the specific application software needs to be written to accommodate multi- threading was important. Old apps less multi threading, newer apps more multi-threading. When did Windows become multi-threaded?
As I'm watching, I'm saying to myself, "Holy crap, I actually get this now!!" But I do have one big question: at 3:09, you say that a 2 Core processor at 2.0 GHz will be slower than a 4 Core processor at 4.0 GHz. Assuming each core is utilized, does each Core in this scenario takes 1 GHz of power? And if so, wouldn't that mean that the comparison of these two computers would result in the same exact speed of processing, just that the 4 core can do 2 extra things just as fast as the 2 core computer?
Hey, thats not how cpus supposed to work, because the 4 core processor would each have a clockspeed of 4.0 Ghz as per explained in 1:55. A quad core at 4 Ghz is much much faster than a dual core 2 Ghz processor, hope this helps!
Great video. Just answered more of my questions. I was considering building around a 3950x, but it doesn't look like I need too. I'll be editing some 8k, but if I can save some money, then I would prefer going that route!
Video editing is one type of processing that can bring a computer to its knees. Video editors will generally use however many cores you have. For occasional video editing, you can save some money. But for frequent editing, and especially for editing large video files, you can never have enough cores -- and you can never have enough power in your video card, too. Depending on the size of what you are editing, the rendering time could take between a few seconds to a few hours (or even days, in extreme situations). Having more cores reduces what might have taken 2 hours down to 30 minutes, etc. Or even from 10 minutes down to 1 minute (it is no fun waiting even 10 minutes). Cheers!
looking to order right now i dont want to spend more than 2100 which is best fit for 4k premiere pro editing music videos/ after effects / photography..my home station has a Gforce Gtx 1070 so looking for something maybe stronger i6700k 16gb ram ...it works decently well at home but wouldnt mind increased speed for rendering and playback so i can edit a little faster..if you have good suggestion or affilitate link i will order today!
I have Hp elitebook revolve g3 i7-5600U @ 2.6 base speed. I love my labtop very much but i am confused from your video as much as it is very vey useful video. Ilalong 3 yesrs my labtop was very capable as i thought but one time i got excel sheet with a big amount of data like 30.000 rows with multiple columns. I experienceed a shocking low performace or speed when applying somthing to all cells like font or formating ....etc. I tooks 5 minutes to complete what i apply. Do you think my very speedy 2.6GHz dual core is slower than 2GHz 4 cores i7 these days specially as i understood from your video that if i have one task like excel it will be enough for me. I am realy confused what to do and i am afraid that if i upgrade i may lost money whithout solving my problem. Thanks for your video i will by extremely greatfull if you hepled my to decide specially my labtop are blazing fast with any other task i do other than excel.
If I am running only 2 programs at the same time. There's a dual core with 4GHz and 8-core with 3GHz. Does it mean that the dual core will be faster? Or the 8-core will work together for the 2 programs?
hello ben i'm a student and i'm planning to learn and work on photoshop, illustrator, premiere and aftereffects, will a laptop with ryzen 5 6core 12 thread along with gtx 1650ti, a nice color accurate display, 8gb 3200mhz ram and 512gb ssd a good combination (asus zephyrus g14 r5 gtx 1650ti) at almost same price i'll get a ryzen7 8core 16threads along with gtx1660ti asus tuf a15 but less color accurate, which one should i get, like i can add a external display but wont be able to buy a display for a year or so after buying a laptop so will 49%adobe rgb bother me ? please share your views and thoughts, i want something sort of budget friendly, future proof and adequate performance
So if every core runs at the same clock speed, is this the same case for the threads? Will 2 threads in a core share the same clock speed, or do they have to share? In other words, if a core was at say 2.8ghz, will the threads be more like 1.4ghz if they're working at the same time?
The threads simply assist the cores, they are not actual operating cores. They are helping process the information before sending it to the core to complete the task. I hope that better explains the situation.
You are not explaining what a core is. You are explaining what a cord does. There's a difference. A core is a series of transistors laid out on a board. The closer the transistors are to each other the faster the processing is dependent upon the clock speed. The difference between what a core is and what occurred does is essential.
So, if I have a 8 core 16 threads and use ONLY Premiere pro, it means that all cores and threads will be available to Premiere Pro? Will the render speed, for example, be MUCH faster??
can you please explain will it be good to buy a asus tuf gamin A 15 with ryzen 9 4900h processor 16gb ram and 1660ti with 8 core 16 threads with a base clock of 3 Ghz for 4k -8k video edditing at price of 100k indian rupees i.e. 1350 US Dollar as of now Please reply your admirer from India

More cores less time in Video Render

I ran a Dual Pentium Pro Intel Motherboard on my Desktop computer at home in 1999, and had Compaq Proliant and IBM Servers with 2 and 4 CPU's when I worked as a Server admin for IBM Global Services 1996-1998, and we had multi cpu Dell servers at Intel Online Services in 1999 and again in 2006. Also a single threaded Program will never use additional CPU's or CPU Cores.
You're amazing at teaching keep sharing! hell of a useful video!
Nice Information.
Thanks bro 👍👍👍
11:22 Pukes a little bit in the mouth
11:24 Swallows it like a champ and finishes the argument
You sir, are a pro.
Ben I love your videos, very clear, straight to the point!
I'm going to buy the new xps 15 for video editing 4K but unfortunately in my country we just have access to the 6 cores model for now. I'm using the red giant suite, so there is a lot of effects, a lot of work to do. So do you think 6 cores is enough combined with the i7 (I don't have access to the i9 either yet lol).
Thanks a lot :)
Oh and btw I forgot to mention that I'm gonna upgrade my XPS for 32gb of ram and 1tb SSD
Honestly, yeah! I think that will be suitable. The i7-9750H (which I believe is the processor you;re referring to) is a really good one.
Smart move with the 32GB upgrade.
@@BenGKaiser Thanks! Nop it's the i7-10750H
Hello there, I'm a graphic designer and I'm planning to build a budget pc. I'm currently stuck on choosing a processor. I'm aiming for a mini-itx build and I need to consider the height of the cooler for the cpu. So here's my dilemma, should I go for a 4c/4t cpu (which has the included cooler just right for the case/chassis) or go with a 4c/8t cpu but need to purchase a separate cooler. Again, I don't have that much budget. I usually only open windows explorer, chrome (about 5-25 tabs at times), photoshop, illustrator, and silhouette. So, that 5 processes at most.
Thanks man...you explained everything I need to know
Great video full of knowledge by simple example.
Bro your my favorite 😂
Watched so many videos but was still confused.. you finally cleared it up. A BIG thanks!
Awesome video, sorted things in my head, thank you
Excellent video, just what I needed!
late comment lol but I really liked this video it helped me out a lot. Im going to keep replaying it until i completely understand threads.
You said video editing uses only 1 core and all the other cores are only used for multitasking. then why buy 6 or even 8 core when you can get 4 core? please explain.
A small question which i hope you can clarify.....so if im only going to work on Vegas Pro 4K video editing and maybe photoshop side by side (I never ever multi task more than that), Then do i really need a Ryzen 9 or can i make do with a Ryzen 7 5700g ?
Hey, I quite liked what you said, but I failed to find what I'm looking for here, which is, how much cores is enough and which processor for someone who's using BIM software's and Adobe CC and a couple of powerful rendering engines such as Unreal Engine ? If any one has an answer for me here, let me know. thank you.
This was SO helpful! Thank you!
yo, sorry for the late question.
the example at the end you give is all like x core 2x threads. I'm thinking about getting ryzen 3500 vs 3600. their both 6 cores, but 3600 has 12 threads (3500 only has 6 threads). How much different would that be? Their both 6 cores, so I assume multitasking is fine, but the threads thing, does that mean the 3600 would run software and render the result faster? if so, by how much?
why the Intel I5 9th gen has 6core and 6 htreads while ryzen 5 has 6 core 12 threads? wich is better for rendering AE and PR
this guy does a great job in explaining. but does jumping from a 8 core to a lets say a 12 core proccesor make a difference when it comes to video rendering?
Hello. I am planning on a laptop for video editing, programming and gaming.
As far as now, I have decided to buy a ASUS TUF GAMING A15 1650 ti, RYZEN 7 4800H or DELL G5 SE RYZEN 5 4600H with 5600M.
Can you please suggest me which one will be better?
Will the 2 Cores more in ASUS TUF would work well or better Graphics on Dell G5 SE would work well..
Also should I pay more for more 2 Cores in DELL G5 SE. Or a lot More for Better Graphics in ASUS TUF A15.
Waiting for your reply
BTW, I am from India. Both of these variants come around the same price range..
Edit: Both comes with 8 GB RAM. Would upgrade it if needed to 16 GB... Depending on my workload and its performance.
You are the Sean Penn of computer technology
Great robot analogy 👏
Hi Ben. Thanks! You are doing a great job! Me want the CRAZINESS though @7.0ghz LOL
Ben, I seriously can't thank you enough for the valuable info you've shared with us. I've been researching extensively (putting it very lightly lol) the last week or so for my first ever PC build, and this video has saved me a ton of money in the process! Was considering the Ryzen 9 3950x processor with an expensive x570 motherboard, but I feel as if the 3900x will be plenty good enough for what I'm doing in premier pro.
The questions that I still need answered is what is the best solution for playing back footage via the timeline in Adobe Premier without any lag? I currently have a mid-2014 macbook pro and recently subscribed to Adobe Creative Cloud, and I CAN NOT begin to tell you the frustration associated with editing footage and scrubbing the timeline in premier pro. So, what would be your best advice on a PC build that's strictly geared towards video and photo editing with Adobe? Am I better off with Intel or is Ryzen going to combat better clock speeds for an overall better performance??
Dear PC community: I Would greatly appreciate any suggestions!
What did you get?
@@bambeexo7048 😄🤣
Your best bet for budget video editing is using proxies. They take time to generate, and take up space on your drive, but they'll make timeline scrubbing on bad hardware possible.
Thank you for the explanation!
this was just insanely helpful!! thanks for this, seriously
Sir as you say one core will work one task at a time so when we use adodepremier for video editing how many tasks work during this single software and why processor with more cores work better?
I thought your point about the specific application software needs to be written to accommodate multi- threading was important. Old apps less multi threading, newer apps more multi-threading. When did Windows become multi-threaded?
Is Ansys workbench, solidworks, or other engineering softwares, single cored or multi cored related?
As I'm watching, I'm saying to myself, "Holy crap, I actually get this now!!" But I do have one big question: at 3:09, you say that a 2 Core processor at 2.0 GHz will be slower than a 4 Core processor at 4.0 GHz. Assuming each core is utilized, does each Core in this scenario takes 1 GHz of power? And if so, wouldn't that mean that the comparison of these two computers would result in the same exact speed of processing, just that the 4 core can do 2 extra things just as fast as the 2 core computer?
Hey, thats not how cpus supposed to work, because the 4 core processor would each have a clockspeed of 4.0 Ghz as per explained in 1:55. A quad core at 4 Ghz is much much faster than a dual core 2 Ghz processor, hope this helps!
Great video. I will forward to my grandson.
Great video. Just answered more of my questions.
I was considering building around a 3950x, but it doesn't look like I need too.
I'll be editing some 8k, but if I can save some money, then I would prefer going that route!
Glad I could help!
Video editing is one type of processing that can bring a computer to its knees.
Video editors will generally use however many cores you have.
For occasional video editing, you can save some money.
But for frequent editing, and especially for editing large video files, you can never have enough cores -- and you can never have enough power in your video card, too.
Depending on the size of what you are editing, the rendering time could take between a few seconds to a few hours (or even days, in extreme situations).
Having more cores reduces what might have taken 2 hours down to 30 minutes, etc. Or even from 10 minutes down to 1 minute (it is no fun waiting even 10 minutes).
Cheers!
how are you finding redering a 30minutes worth of 4k? mine takes all day t
Great job!
please can you explain into details the numbering of the
cores(they are all even numbers and difference 2) and
the speed?
Thanks for this but sorry dint really follow the explanation, u say adobe premiere uses 1 core how does increased core make it better?
looking to order right now i dont want to spend more than 2100 which is best fit for 4k premiere pro editing music videos/ after effects / photography..my home station has a Gforce Gtx 1070 so looking for something maybe stronger i6700k 16gb ram ...it works decently well at home but wouldnt mind increased speed for rendering and playback so i can edit a little faster..if you have good suggestion or affilitate link i will order today!
The minimum requirement for the silhouette studio software ill be using is 2GHZ..but it's hard to find an affordable(
Great Video! Thank you!
I have Hp elitebook revolve g3 i7-5600U @ 2.6 base speed. I love my labtop very much but i am confused from your video as much as it is very vey useful video. Ilalong 3 yesrs my labtop was very capable as i thought but one time i got excel sheet with a big amount of data like 30.000 rows with multiple columns. I experienceed a shocking low performace or speed when applying somthing to all cells like font or formating ....etc. I tooks 5 minutes to complete what i apply. Do you think my very speedy 2.6GHz dual core is slower than 2GHz 4 cores i7 these days specially as i understood from your video that if i have one task like excel it will be enough for me. I am realy confused what to do and i am afraid that if i upgrade i may lost money whithout solving my problem.
Thanks for your video i will by extremely greatfull if you hepled my to decide specially my labtop are blazing fast with any other task i do other than excel.
If I am running only 2 programs at the same time. There's a dual core with 4GHz and 8-core with 3GHz. Does it mean that the dual core will be faster? Or the 8-core will work together for the 2 programs?
Would you recommend a intel u (i5 or i7) processor with integrated gpu for 1080p video editing?
This is so helpful, thank you!
thank you so much :3 . This is very helpful
hello ben i'm a student and i'm planning to learn and work on photoshop, illustrator, premiere and aftereffects, will a laptop with ryzen 5 6core 12 thread along with gtx 1650ti, a nice color accurate display, 8gb 3200mhz ram and 512gb ssd a good combination (asus zephyrus g14 r5 gtx 1650ti) at almost same price i'll get a ryzen7 8core 16threads along with gtx1660ti asus tuf a15 but less color accurate, which one should i get, like i can add a external display but wont be able to buy a display for a year or so after buying a laptop so will 49%adobe rgb bother me ? please share your views and thoughts, i want something sort of budget friendly, future proof and adequate performance
Honestly the Asus Zephyrus G14 is the perfect combination of power and color accuracy that you need at a decent price point. :)
buy asus tuf a15
@@vividha6093 bad colour accuracy
So could u run Pr on a MacBook Pro 13 duel core i7 with a 3.5 gHz? Or would it be laggy even if u were just in PR?
So if every core runs at the same clock speed, is this the same case for the threads? Will 2 threads in a core share the same clock speed, or do they have to share? In other words, if a core was at say 2.8ghz, will the threads be more like 1.4ghz if they're working at the same time?
The threads simply assist the cores, they are not actual operating cores. They are helping process the information before sending it to the core to complete the task. I hope that better explains the situation.
@@BenGKaiser ryzen 5 1600 ryzen 3200g which is better?
@@janasmp6985 well 3200g...
The best explanation ever
You are not explaining what a core is. You are explaining what a cord does. There's a difference. A core is a series of transistors laid out on a board. The closer the transistors are to each other the faster the processing is dependent upon the clock speed. The difference between what a core is and what occurred does is essential.
So, if I have a 8 core 16 threads and use ONLY Premiere pro, it means that all cores and threads will be available to Premiere Pro? Will the render speed, for example, be MUCH faster??
can you please explain will it be good to buy a asus tuf gamin A 15 with ryzen 9 4900h processor 16gb ram and 1660ti with 8 core 16 threads with a base clock of 3 Ghz for 4k -8k video edditing at price of 100k indian rupees i.e. 1350 US Dollar as of now
Please reply your admirer from India
That model will be great for 4k for sure! I don't know about 8k, I have yet to run 8k tests.
really it gave me much more clarity, thank you, watching from india
Glad it was helpful!
pretty nice approach
WILL IT MAKE HUGE DIFFERENCE IF I TAKE i9 10900K OR i9 9900K ?????? FOR 3D MODELING(BLENDER), PHOTOSHOP, PREMIERE PRO AND ANIMATION.....
