Intel has released their latest mainstream desktop CPU family, the 11th Gen Intel Core processors. We compare the top three models in this new lineup to the previous 10th Gen Core models and AMD’s competing Ryzen 5000 Series in Agisoft Metashape.

Earlier this month, Intel announced the initial launch of their new 11th Gen Intel Core desktop processors (code-named “Rocket Lake”). These new processors are marketed as having substantially better per-core performance compared to their previous 10th Gen Core models, but at the tope end have fewer total CPU cores. Will these changes allow Intel to overtake AMD for DaVinci Resolve?

Earlier this month, Intel announced the initial launch of their new 11th Gen Intel Core desktop processors (code-named “Rocket Lake”). These new processors are marketed as having substantially better per-core performance compared to their previous 10th Gen Core models, but will that be enough for Intel to overtake AMD in After Effects?

Earlier this month, Intel announced the initial launch of their new 11th Gen Intel Core desktop processors (code-named “Rocket Lake”). These new processors are marketed as having substantially better per-core performance compared to their previous 10th Gen Core models, but AMD currently has a large lead in applications like Lightroom Classic. Will these new CPUs be enough for Intel to overtake AMD in Lightroom Classic?

These new processors are marketed as having substantially better per-core performance compared to their previous 10th Gen Core models, but will that be enough for Intel to overtake AMD in Photoshop?

With the launch of Nvidia’s RTX A6000 video card, we look at how well these cards scale in multi-GPU configurations for rendering in Redshift, OctaneRender, and V-Ray.

Unreal Engine is being used by a wide ranger of industries and not just game development. Each industry uses Unreal a little differently, and as such, requires different hardware to optimize their workflow. We’ll look at a few of the more popular use cases, and review the best hardware for each.

One of the most common hardware complaint you will hear about After Effects is that it doesn’t take advantage of the higher core count CPUs that are common in today’s workstations. In the new After Effects 18.1 BETA, however, Adobe is introducing a new feature called Multi-Frame Rendering which should vastly speed up render times when you have a higher core count processor.

In version 17.0, Blackmagic added “Support for NVLink high speed interconnect with supported NVIDIA GPUs”. But does this feature actually increase performance in Windows 10, or are you better off leaving it disabled?
