Question I'm planning to upgrade my CPU

[mzama.mzama]

Hi
how u doing
I'm planning to upgrade my cpu

I need the cpu for editing .graphic design and streaming

I don’t care about gaming that much

I just want a strong cpu who can handle many tasks
(And very hard to get to 100% used )

I found many options:

R7. 7700x
R9. 7900x
R9. 5950x
I7. 13700k

If there is a better option you can suggested
550$ max

Thank you 😊

All 4 choices are would not disappoint and are in the same ball park for performance.
One metric is the passmark performance numbers.
It tells the number of processing threads, the performance rating when all threads are 100% used(not so easy as you said) and the single thread performance numbers.
R7-7700X 16 36513/4279
R9-7900x 24 52487/4327
R9 5950x 32 45859/3465
I7-13700K 24 34431/4347

Probably the best cpu out there that is close to your $550 budget($4 over) is the I9-13900K
I9-13900K 32 59997/4679

Intel Core i9-13900K Benchmark

I would pay attention to single thread performance. Many apps depend on it.

really thanks
but i cant go with 13900k . 7950x
it is really expensive in my country
i can buy anything else

Are you upgrading the CPU on an existing motherboard, or buying a new motherboard too? If you pick a power hungry CPU, choose a motherboard with heatsinks on the VRMs. They're an indication of the number of VRM stages (more is desirable).

Although entry level boards claim to be compatible with top-of-the-range CPUs, their basic VRMs tend to struggle when powering multi-core chips, especially when boosting. You'll probably be better off with a mid-range board (more expensive).

You may also need to fit a higher quality PSU if you are upgrading an existing computer with a low power CPU. Cheap PSUs tend to be rubbish and may go bang at any time.

What graphics design programs are you using?

hi yeah i will get a new motherboard with very good heatsinks

and i got a new PSU CORSAIR 1000RM

the app i use:
After effect
premiere pro
and photoshop ( all the time )

my old CPU is 9600k it did well but not enough all the time 100%
and it is really hard to stream and play at the same time with this cpu


and is really hard to chose between them
I7-13700K is good but R9-7900x is cheaper and has more cores
R9. 5950x is the most expansive one but has 16 cores but it is older
i dont know if the core can help
but i just need a cpu good enough for apps and multitasking
I saw the R9 7800x has the highest numbers
So is that means it is the best?

Check out these recommendations for Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro workstations from Puget Systems.

It's worth digging back two to three years in Puget's archives to 2020 for older CPUs and GPUs.

Premiere Pro and other video editing programs benefit from a fast graphics card (preferably NVidia). Photoshop is not so demanding.

Thank u so much it is really helpful

Now im thinking to get
7900x. Or. 13700k
I don’t know who is better for overall

What are your current parts?
Perhaps some can be reused?

Things I consider when choosing between an Intel or an AMD processor is the cost of the motherboard.

I compare like with like, e.g. I might need two PCIe x16 slots, or three M.2 NVME slots. I tend to use a lot of hard disks, so I prefer mobos with at least six SATA ports.

Next I look at maximum power dissipation from the CPU, to help choosing a cooler. Intel chips may require more powerful coolers than AMD.

There's often only a few percent difference between AMD and Intel performance at the same price point.

An AM5 socket mobo is more "future" proof than an AM4 socket or the current Intel CPU sockets, but AM5 needs more expensive DDR5.

Toss a coin. Heads = AMD, tails = Intel.
