While most After Effects users will be best served with an Intel Core or AMD Ryzen processor, the new AMD Threadripper 7000 series offer terrific performance for those working with complex After Effects projects.
Adobe Lightroom Classic: AMD Threadripper 7000 vs Intel Xeon W-3400
The new AMD Threadripper 7000 series offers substantial performance gains in Lightroom Classic – at times being 2x faster than the previous generation. But how does that compare to Intel’s Xeon W family?
Adobe Photoshop: AMD Threadripper 7000 vs Intel Xeon W-3400
Photoshop may not be a targeted applications for high core count CPUs like AMD’s new Threadripper 7000 series, but it can be worth knowing how it stacks up against Intel’s Xeon offerings.
Does AMD Threadripper Dynamic Local Mode improve photo editing performance?
AMD’s Threadripper 2970WX and 2990WX processors have incredibly high core counts, but often give low performance when running applications that cannot effectively use all their cores. The new “Local Dynamic Mode” is meant to help alleviate some of these issues, but will it actually help photo editing applications like Lightroom Classic and Photoshop?
Does AMD Threadripper Dynamic Local Mode improve video editing performance?
AMD’s Threadripper 2970WX and 2990WX processors have incredibly high core counts, but often give low performance when running applications that cannot effectively use all their cores. The new “Local Dynamic Mode” is meant to help alleviate some of these issues, but will it actually help video editing applications like Premiere Pro, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve?
Lightroom Classic CC 2018: AMD Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Performance
Lighroom Classic CC saw dramatic performance improvements with higher core count CPUs, but the 2990WX in particular has a staggering 32 cores. Will Lightroom Classic be able to take advantage of these extremely high core counts, or we have reached the point of diminishing returns?
DaVinci Resolve 15: AMD Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Performance
DaVinci Resolve is a very GPU-intensive program, but it can still require a powerful CPU to match the amount of GPU power you may put into your system. We have seen diminishing returns with higher core count CPUs in the past, so the question is whether the 32 cores in the Threadripper 2990WX will increase performance or if you are better off with a lower core count CPU.
Premiere Pro CC 2018: AMD Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Performance
In the past, AMD’s Threadripper CPUs have fared very well in Premiere Pro, but fell behind their Intel counterparts by the slimmest of margins. With the new 32 core Threadripper 2990WX and 16 core 2950X, will AMD finally overtake Intel as the best value for Premiere Pro users?
Photoshop CC 2018: AMD Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Performance
Photoshop is definitely not the target market for AMD’s new Threadripper 2990WX 32 Core or 2950X 16 core CPUs, but even so we wanted to see how it stacks up against the previous generation Threadripper CPUs as well as a number of Intel Core i7/i9 CPUs.
After Effects CC 2018: AMD Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Performance
For several years, After Effects has not performed very well with high core count CPUs – instead favoring processors that have higher per-core performance. This means that while AMD’s new Threadripper CPUs like the 2990WX and 2950X are very impressive in some applications, they shouldn’t be terribly great for After Effects compared to their Intel counterparts.
