Question 5800X + 32GB 3600Mhz DDR4 / 12700KF + 16GB 5600Mhz DDR5 (Which one for Video Editing?)

[illimors]

Hi guys. I am planning to build a setup for video and photography editing (basically Premier, After effects, Photoshop etc.)

I am clear that my GPU will be the 4060Ti with 16GB of VRAM. My specific question would be: In your opinion, what would be the best option in this case and why?

Ryzen 5800X with 32 GB of ram at 3600Mhz DDR4?

Intel 12700KF with 16 GB of ram at 5600Mhz DDR5?

This seeing that the price variation is basically zero between both setups.

Thanks a lot!

The Intel will outperform the AMD CPU in most Adobe CC apps.

12th Gen Intel Core CPU Review Roundup

Intel has launched their new 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processors (code-named "Alder Lake") featuring support for DDR5, PCIe 5.0, as well as a completely new hybrid architecture using a mix of Performance and Efficient-cores. This is a lot of new technologies in one product which makes it hard...

I would recommend the 12700 or 12700K (not the F) as QuickSync will help with your video editing, as well as provide GPU redundancy.
Makes more sense to go with the Intel 12th Gen and perhaps squeeze the budget a bit for more RAM.

The 12700 or k (you need that IGPU, the F variants don't have it) is faster in both ST (important for photoshop and premiere) and in MT. The MT isn't that important unless you are running a lot of those photoshop workloads simultaneously but it's good to have, you can have your stuff running on the background while using your computer normally and you won't notice any slow downs

Now... other vision.... i7 12700K + 32gb ddr5 vs i9 12900k + 32gb ddr4 ... same workload and same price ($1300).... wich one?

Once again, referring back to those benchmarks I linked to… marginal gains in performance in the i9 within Adobe suite, but a lot more power consumption & heat

I’d choose DDR5 not for performance gains, but simply because it’s the new standard.

TLDR - 12700k and ddr5

PostScript: in my experience the bottleneck for Adobe apps is storage transfer rates, and not the CPU. Sometimes more productive spending on faster storage than faster CPU.
