Question

AME poor performance AMD 1950X vs X5670 (10 years old cpu)

Hi at all,

every day I am more aware that Premire pro cc and AME work badly and do not take advantage of the new CPU.

Given the long rendering times I have with my computer, I have made a test comparing with a computer 10 years ago, with a CPU of 6 core at 2.9 GHz (xeon X5670) against a cpu contemporane from 16 core to 3.7 GHz (Amd 1950X).

I've gotten to render a video in 4K of unso 6 minutes of duration with output in 4 formats of H264 ... I've done that test in the 2 pc:

PC 1

Amd 1950X, GTX1080, 64GB ram

PC 2

Xeon X5670, GTX1050ti, 16GB ram

Well, the result has no logic, the pc with amd 1950X has taken 43 minutes while the xeon X5670 has taken 1 hour and 2 minutes.

Seen the thing, it gives me to think that the programming of the suite of adobe CC are at least 10 years that is not updated to take advantage of the resources of the new CPU ...

I think the adobe team should refresh their programs at the current time ...

A greeting.

It's not that Adobe hasn't kept up with the newer architectures per se; it's that Premiere Pro does not scale well beyond around 10 cores. You have hit the law of diminishing returns here. As a result, you will likely see better performance with a "CPU contemporane" with 8 cores and 4.8 GHz (such as an Intel i9-9900K) than with a same-vintage (read: same age) CPU with 16 cores but a lower all-core turbo speed.

By the way, starting with Premiere Pro 2019, Adobe now requires a 6th-generation Intel Core i-series or newer CPU in order to run properly. The Xeon X5670 is now way too old to work properly in PPro 2019: The program will launch, but you may experience crashes and/or lock-ups in the middle of a render or export, which can potentially ruin your editing experience.

Unfortunately, DaVinci does not make anywhere near full use of even an 8-year-old dual-core Sandy Lake CPU, let alone any current-generation CPU. Instead, it heavily utilizes the GPU. So, for any given GPU Resolve will perform almost the same on a seven-year-old i3-3220 as it does on any modern 8-core Coffee Lake CPU that's set to run at the same clock speed as that i3-3220.

Premiere, on the other hand, demands that all of a particular system's components be close enough to equal in relative performance. This is called component performance balance. In Premiere, if even one component is significantly more powerful or weaker than the rest, Premiere will choke. DaVinci, on the other hand, prefers a severely imbalanced system hardware configuration that's biased towards too much GPU.
