CPU trends for editing computers - Core i9 vs. thread Ripper
[11:39 Tue,13.June 2017 by Rudi Schmidts]
With the Computex and the E3, two important trade fairs have manifested the upcoming CPU trends, which may also be of interest to video workers. At the same time, the (finally?) Resurrected battle between AMD and Intel is at the forefront. Recently, Intel has now made Naegel with official heads and confirmed all models for its upcoming HEDT platform (X299). This platform is located between consumer CPUs and "real" XEONs and has been the best value-for-money ratio for users who want to build a computer with typical workstation features. In addition to 4-channel memory connection, this included more than 16 PCI lanes and more than 4 real cores. Supposedly synonymous for Intel quite surprisingly came AMD's announcement with the Ryzen ThreadripperAlready this summer up to 16 cores with 4 channel memory interface and 64 PCI lanes to deliver. As a result, Intel is expected to have expanded its X299 platform from a maximum of 10 cores relatively recently to up to 18 cores. The models with more than 10 cores are not yet available for sale in July, but should be available in August (12 core) or even in October (14-18 cores). The top model with 18 cores is now at 2.000 euros in the price list and Has "only" 44 PCI lanes. AMD's threadripper is supposed to be available earlier and rumors of about 1.000 euro for the 16 core model in the "maximum Ausbaustufe". In particular, the delivered frequencies will be one of those to which, to date, neitherAMD and Intel have exactly expressed. In order to stay with these core volumes within the maximum base voltage, both competitors will have to remain more or less clearly below 3.5 GHz in your top models. In any case you will be able to see a real performance performance in the workstation market. After Effects As you know, users never have enough cores to load. Cutter need such line currently rather for Multitrack 4K projects or 8K editing. However, only as long as the decoding is still taken over by the CPU. Because many a software producer seems to have the idea to make the Decoding synonymous with the GPU by the 8K editing. What would work with H.264 and HEVC up to 10 bit already with current maps. u003cimg
