Adobe Premiere Pro – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Performance
Adobe has been focusing fairly heavily on GPU performance in the latest versions of Premiere Pro, adding more GPU accelerated effects as well as GPU-based hardware encoding. NVIDIA has help a strong performance lead in the past for Premiere Pro, but will this continue with the recently launched GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB?
AMD Radeon RX 6800 (XT) Review Roundup
The Radeon RX 6800 cards are here, with AMD boasting significant performance gains over the previous generation. We have looked at how the 6800 16GB and 6800 XT 16GB perform 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.
Adobe Premiere Pro – AMD Radeon RX 6800 (XT) Performance
Adobe has been focusing fairly heavily on GPU performance in the latest versions of Premiere Pro, adding more GPU accelerated effects as well as GPU-based hardware encoding. While NVIDIA has help a strong performance lead in the past, AMD’s new Radeon 6800 cards are touted to have significant performance gains. Is this enough for AMD to take the performance crown in Premiere Pro?
Apple M1 MacBook vs PC Desktop Workstation for Adobe Creative Cloud
Apple has recently launched MacBook Air and Pro models using the new Apple M1 chip based on the Arm instruction set. While we do not usually examine performance for laptops, we wanted to see how these new chips compare to a desktop PC.
AMD Ryzen 5000 Series CPU Review Roundup
AMD’s new Ryzen 5000 Series processors are here, with significant improvements including an advertised 19% improvement in IPC (instructions per clock). This should result in large performance gains across the board, but exactly how well do these CPUs perform in the real world?
Adobe Premiere Pro: AMD Ryzen 5000 Series CPU Performance
Until recently, Intel enjoyed the benefit of being the only CPUs that could be used for hardware accelerated encoding/decoding of H.264 and HEVC media with their Quick Sync feature. However, with Premiere Pro 14.5 including GPU-based hardware encoding/decoding, the playing field has been leveled, allowing AMD to truly show what they are capable of. Will the new AMD Ryzen 5000 Series out-perform the Intel options, or will Intel maintain a lead even without the benefit of hardware encoding/decoding?
