I have had the XPS 8950 now for 2 weeks. It is quite the computer. I like Windows 11, I wasnt sure I would. It is super fast and gets great results in Bench testing except in one area, the DDR5 Ram. I have 128G of it but get low scores because of the latency, I have seen it as high as 90 ns. I have yet to try any work on Premier Pro yet. I just bought a 2nd GoPro and will be giving it a try soon.

Make sure to try Quick Sync and Nvenc both. I think Premiere Pro favors the Alder Lake iGPU.

Let us know how it works out for you when you get it up and running.

I'm curious -- how much did it cost?

Way more than I had planned, but my current HP Pavillion which is still working quite well, cost me $1200 10 years ago, so I figured on taking it up a notch, or 2, or 3, or 5. Yes, $5200 with tax. I feel good about this though, not really any way to go any higher.

Any system with an Alder Lake CPU and RTX 3000 series GPU will work just fine.You could buy a Dell, HP or Lenovo computer with the same CPU and GPU. You can also buy systems from Newegg with the same configuration. You do realize Dell, Lenovo and HP do not make computer parts. They buy parts from various suppliers and assemble them. The motherboard from a Dell desktop computer from 3 years ago could have the same motherboard as the computer I custom built for myself.

I would like to get the DDR5 Ram but apparently it is not available right now. I dont see the sense in going for broke on an expensive machine only to put in DDR4

You do realize that system has an Alder Lake CPU with an RTX 3000 series graphics card. I had recommend that configuration to you from the very start.

There you go again with that attitude I despise. It seems you are expecting a medal. You need to work on your "people" skills.

I wish I could edit my posts and the title as I am not looking just at Dell anymore. I have a Lenovo build now, quite expensive but I want to do this once.

AMD makes very good CPUs but Intel might be your best bet if you are editing H.264. Even the cheap $300.00 Alder Lake will outperform the 12 core AMD CPU if you are editing or rendering to H.264. You would know that if you had bothered to watch the video I posted.

Didn't we discuss this in another thread? Are you editing 4K H.264, BRAW, Pro Res? If you are editing H.264 at 1920 X 1080 I imagine that system would work OK but I am not sure if it is the best bang for the buck. I posted a video demonstrating the benefits of Nvenc and Quick Sync if you are editing H.264. Even if you don't edit H.264 but you export to H.264 having Nvenc and Quick Sync would be worth price of admission. I myself would not want the system you picked out but that doesn't mean it cannot edit H.264 at 1920 X 1080 but you should at least upgrade the RAM to 32 GB. 

If anyone else is buying a new computer the video below demonstrates Nvenc and Quick Sync in action. That is why I would recommend the Alder Lake CPU and an RTX 3000 series GPU. Can the RTX 3060 or the i5 Alder Lake CPU edit 8K H.264? I don't know. 8K might still be a challenge.

I am starting over. I dont know what I am going to be doing with Premier Pro yet. I am completely new to this. I did have 32 G of Ram.

I know you are new but you don't seem to want to take people's advice. It would be in your best interest to get new hardware because support for older hardware could end at anytime. You might find a computer at Best Buy with a 12th generation i5 CPU and RTX 3060 GPU. It would not be as good as a 12th generation i9 CPU and RTX 3080 but it should be better than the Dell. Having said that if you want to get an Intel Core i9-10900X no one can stop you. In the end you will have to make the decision yourself.
