AMD Threadripper 3990X: Does Windows 10 for Workstations speed up photogrammetry?
Written on February 19, 2020 by William GeorgeWhen AMD launched the 64-core Threadripper 3990X, some reviewers reported that performance of this 128-thread beast was hindered by running a normal version of Windows 10 Pro - and that instead using Windows 10 Pro for Workstations or Windows 10 Enterprise gave better results. We have investigated that claim using our in-house Pix4D and RealityCapture benchmarks to see if the choice of operating system could impact our customers.

After Effects CPU performance: AMD Threadripper 3990X 64 Core
Written on February 7, 2020 by Matt BachAt the moment, After Effects typically only utilizes a handful of CPU cores, which makes the new AMD Threadripper 3990X, with a massive 64 cores, extreme overkill. But does that make the 3990X a bad option for After Effects, or will it surprise us by out performing the other mainstream CPUs offered by Intel and AMD.
Premiere Pro CPU performance: AMD Threadripper 3990X 64 Core
Written on February 7, 2020 by Matt BachMore than most Adobe applications, Premiere Pro is able to make use of CPUs that have higher core counts. The new AMD Threadripper 3990X takes this to the extreme, however, with an incredible 64 cores. Will Premiere Pro be able to utilize all of these cores, or will the 3990X actually end up being slower than one of AMD's more affordable options?
DaVinci Resolve CPU performance: AMD Threadripper 3990X 64 Core
Written on February 7, 2020 by Matt BachDaVinci Resolve may be known for its ability to utilize your GPU, but depending on your project, the CPU can actually be a bigger factor for performance. But even in these cases, is AMD's new Threadripper 3990X with 64 cores overkill?
Photoshop CPU performance: AMD Threadripper 3990X 64 Core
Written on February 7, 2020 by Matt BachDue to the nature of how Photoshop works, a CPU with a high number of cores is rarely necessary to get the best performance. In fact, some applications can actually see a loss in performance with more CPU cores, which is why we are very interested to see how the new AMD Threadripper 3990X with 64 cores is able to run Photoshop.
Lightroom Classic CPU performance: AMD Threadripper 3990X 64 Core
Written on February 7, 2020 by Matt BachLightroom Classic contains a number of tasks that can leverage a decent number of CPU cores to improve performance. The new AMD Threadripper 3990X, with a massive 64 cores, should excel when exporting images in particular, but many applications see less and less benefit as you get into extremely high core counts. Will Lightroom be able to leverage all 64 cores, or is there no benefit to using the 3990X over a much less expensive CPU like the Threadripper 3960X?
