Premiere Pro CC 2019: Intel X-series 2018 Refresh Performance

Posted on November 15, 2018 by Matt Bach

Premiere Pro works very well with Intel’s X-series processors, but the new models that just came out only have a small frequency bump and no increase in core count. Is this enough to increase performance in Premiere, or is there no reason to use one of these new models?

DaVinci Resolve 15: Intel X-series 2018 Refresh Performance

Posted on November 13, 2018 by Matt Bach

DaVinci Resolve is a very GPU-intensive program which limits the amount of performance a higher-end CPU can give you. Depending on the amount of GPU power you have, even a mid-range CPU could perform the same as a more expensive CPU which begs the question: will the new Intel X-series CPUs be any faster than the previous generation?

After Effects CC 2019: Intel X-series 2018 Refresh Performance

Posted on November 13, 2018 by Matt Bach

The new Intel Core X-series Processors are here and while they do have a small frequency bump and a native fix for Spectre & Meltdown, they do not have any more cores than the previous generation. However, After Effects is not as well threaded as it used to be, which means that the lack of a core count increase is unlikely to be a problem.

Photoshop CC 2019: Intel X-series 2018 Refresh Performance

Posted on November 13, 2018 by Matt Bach

The new Intel Core X-series Processors have been launched without an increase in core count, but there has been a small frequency bump and a native fix for Spectre & Meltdown. Do these minor changes allow them to keep up with the more moderately priced Intel Core i9 9900K, or are they no faster than the previous generation models?

Lightroom Classic CC 2019: Intel X-series 2018 Refresh Performance

Posted on November 13, 2018 by Matt Bach

Lightroom Classic has been improving performance with higher core count CPUs, but interestingly enough, the new Intel Core X-series Processors do not have an increase in core count. They do have a small frequency bump and a native fix for Spectre & Meltdown, but is that enough to make them faster than the previous generation processors in Lightroom Classic?

Pix4D 4.3 vs 4.2 Performance Analysis

Posted on November 6, 2018 by William George

Pix4D is an advanced photogrammetry application, suited to wide range of uses, with a focus on handling images captured by drone cameras. Processing of those images into point clouds and 3D meshes / textures is time consuming, heavily using a computer’s CPU and GPU. A new version, 4.3, was released recently – so we are taking a look at performance of the previous version versus this one to see if there have been any improvements.

Does AMD Threadripper Dynamic Local Mode improve photo editing performance?

Posted on November 5, 2018 by Matt Bach

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?

Posted on November 5, 2018 by Matt Bach

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

Posted on October 4, 2018 by Matt Bach

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

Posted on September 19, 2018 by Matt Bach

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.
