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?

DaVinci Resolve 15: Core i7 9700K & i9 9900K Performance

Posted on October 19, 2018 by Matt Bach

DaVinci Resolve is a very GPU-intensive program, but that doesn’t mean that the CPU doesn’t matter. Depending on the amount of GPU power you have, even a mid-range CPU could perform the same as a more expensive CPU which makes the new 9th Gen CPUs from Intel very interesting for Resolve workstations with only a few GPUs.

Premiere Pro CC 2018: Core i7 9700K & i9 9900K Performance

Posted on October 19, 2018 by Matt Bach

We tend to use either Intel’s X-series or AMD’s Threadripper CPUs for Premiere Pro due to their higher performance, but with Intel’s new 9th Gen CPUs sporting up to 8 cores, it will be very interesting to see how they fare in Premiere Pro.

After Effects CC 2018: Core i7 9700K & i9 9900K Performance

Posted on October 19, 2018 by Matt Bach

After Effects may not be quite as well threaded as it used to be, but there is still some performance gains to be had with higher core counts. Since the new 9th Gen CPUs from Intel include both a higher core count and a higher operating frequency, they should perform great in After Effects.

Photoshop CC 2018: Core i7 9700K & i9 9900K Performance

Posted on October 19, 2018 by Matt Bach

The new 9th Gen Intel Core Processors have a number of improvements including a small frequency bump and an increase in core count. Photoshop tends to primarily rely on just a handful of cores, so the question is whether these improvements are enough to make a significant difference in performance.

Lightroom Classic CC 2018: Core i7 9700K & i9 9900K Performance

Posted on October 19, 2018 by Matt Bach

Since Lightroom Classic is much better at utilizing multiple CPU cores than the older versions of Lightroom, the new 9th Gen Intel Core Processors are very interesting. Not only do they have a small frequency bump, but they also include an increase in core count.
