Choice of CPU for video editing with Premiere Pro and Photoshop

Can someone suggest a CPU on a DDR4 forum?

My desktop computer is used for regular home activities as well as amateur photo and video editing. I use Photoshop and Premiere Pro. I don’t play games. I use Windows 10.

The Intel 8th Gen Core i5 8400 was suggested.

Could someone please help me especially with choosing a CPU. It seems as if after Black Friday, there are no more i5 8400 CPU's available at a reasonable price.

Thanks for the info, Peru Bob.

I'm not too knowledgeable about hardware myself. Is there someone who would be able to tell me which of the current processors have six cores with hyper-threading?

Glad your post made it to the Hardware Forum.

Time to up your knowledge now... You'll want the best compromise depending on your budget and what you can afford. Read up a bit. I like these builders, you can learn a lot on their sites...

Hi

If you are going for a better cpu for video editing in 2021 then just go with Ryzen 5000 or Ryzen 3000 series Processors like Ryzen 9 5900x,Ryzen 9 3900x etc.so you can get best performance.

Thanks

Before submitting the post, I looked at the hardware forum. I looked again just now.

It appears as if the difference between my requirements and what is asked in the forum, is that I am using my computer as an amateur and do not edit a massive amount of videos.

Although my previous setup was a bit slow, it basically never crashed. Rendering took a while though. My setup was as follows:

  • Motherboard: MSI H61M-P21(B3)
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-2400 Quad-Core Processor 3.1 GHz
  • 2x 8GB RAM
  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
  • AVerMedia A323 MiniCard Hybrid ATSC (Used very occasionally)
  • 3x internal 1TB HDDs
  • DVD Drive
  • ATX-P4 600W power supply

The following was suggested:

CPU: Intel 8th Gen Core i5 8400

RAM: 16GB DDR4

MB: Gigabyte B360 DDR4

SSD for the OS and programmes

I was suggesting asking your question there, as it's dedicated to hardware which is what your question is about. You are free to state your requirements there (amateur /  not a massive amount of editing), etc... So a respondent will know what you are looking for...
