Editing native multi-stream 4k & 6k video tracks with Premiere....Grrrrr!~

Oh Premiere... or is it my new PC?

I just purchased this beast (see specs below) hoping that it would crush through playback/editing multiple streams of 4k and 6k video footage. Unfortunately it can't manage the native footage even at 1/8 resolution. We have been using the new iMacPro which can manage this task (albeit not full res) just fine. I was hoping by switching to a powerful PC that it wouldn't blink at performing this same task without having to drop the resolution.

Any suggestions on what I can do to take advantage of this new pc and premiere?

Thanks!

What's the media you're using?

It’s GH5 4K 150mbps 4:2:2 10bit footage.

Oh. My.

You're throwing some of the nastiest long-GOP media made at it. That media is so demanding of computational resources, CPU  threads and cache, it's amazing. Many CPUs can't even sustain high use while struggling to decode and decompress that stuff because they don't have adequate on-chip cache levels and such to handle all the partial frame crud of the media.

Over on the hardware forum, there are several threads where some smart experienced heads help out with such things, as occasionally mobo settings and such can be tweaked for solid performance gains.
