Adobe Photoshop – AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3000 Series CPU Performance
AMD’s new Threadripper Pro CPUs are here, combining many of the features from their Threadripper and EPYC CPU lines including increased memory and PCI-E capability. Photoshop may not be a prime candidate for this platform, but since it is one of the most widely used applications in the creative community, we wanted to see how Threadripper Pro compares to both the AMD Threadripper and Ryzen processors.
Adobe After Effects – AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3000 Series CPU Performance
AMD’s new Threadripper Pro CPUs are here, combining many of the features from their Threadripper and EPYC CPU lines including increased memory and PCI-E capability. The amount of RAM you have available for After Effects is often critical, but is Threadripper Pro worth the cost in order to get up to 2TB of RAM, or should you stick with the Ryzen or Threadripper line of processors?
Adobe Premiere Pro – AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3000 Series CPU Performance
AMD’s new Threadripper Pro CPUs are here, combining many of the features from their Threadripper and EPYC CPU lines including increased memory and PCI-E capability. But are these extra features useful for Premiere Pro, or should you stick with the normal Threadripper processors?
DaVinci Resolve Studio – AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3000 Series CPU Performance
AMD’s new Threadripper Pro CPUs are here, combining many of the features from their Threadripper and EPYC CPU lines including increased memory and PCI-E capability. These increased capabilities should make them excellent for DaVinci Resolve, but are they worth the higher cost?
NVIDIA DLSS for Unreal Engine
NVIDIA has long promised DLSS will make games run faster, while still looking good. Now users of Unreal Engine outside of game development can add this feature to their workflow with a free plugin. Does it perform as advertised, and will it be useful to Virtual Production or Architecture users?
Intel oneAPI AI Analytics Toolkit — Introduction and Install with conda
I recently wrote a post introducing Intel oneAPI that included a simple installation guide of the Base Toolkit. In that post I promised a follow-up about the the oneAPI AI Analytics Toolkit. This is it! I’ll describe what it is and give recommendations for doing an install setup of the AI toolkits using conda with Anaconda Python.
Nvidia RTX A6000 48GB Review Roundup
While the launch of NVIDIA and AMD’s consumer GPUs have been a major topic recently, NVIDIA is also starting to release the successor to their Quadro RTX line – starting with the RTX A6000. We have looked at how the A6000 performs in a range of professional applications to help you decide whether they are worth using in a new workstation, or as an upgrade in your current system.
OctaneRender 2020 – NVIDIA RTX A6000 48GB Performance
We finally get to see how NVIDIA’s new Ampere workstation cards perform in rendering applications such as OTOY’s OctaneRender. We’ve previously looked at their consumer-grade cards, the new RTX A6000 is the first professional-grade card Nvidia has released.
