Question

Hardware for editing with Adobe software

Hi, I need some information.
I want to build a PC for video editing and use Premiere Pro, After Effects and Audition software.
My questions are these:
Does memory frequency matter for those who use these softwares? Is there a performance gain using memories with higher frequencies?
The higher the CPU clock, the better the performance in After Effects? And on Premiere Pro the CPU clock doesn't matter?
For Premiere Pro the more cores and threads on the CPU is the better? Is this the main thing?
For After Effects and Premiere Pro does the video graphic card(GPU) have to have as much memory(VRAM) as possible and Cuda Cores? What else is important?
Will a PC with two CPU(Processor) have double performance?
Do two video graphics cards(GPU) on the PC also significantly improve the performance of software or Adobe softwares do not support this technology?

I want to know everything that is most important to have on a PC hardware to use Adobe softwares. 

Thank you,
Maria Fernanda

    What video codecs will you be editing? The lower end Alder Lake CPU along with an RTX 3060 should work just fine. You need the CPU and GPU to be a good performance match.

    Amazing resources and research they are doing to build systems.

     

    They also now provide benchmarks to test your system:

    I generally built my own systems, but this last time I paid what I estimate to be a small premium and had them build it. Amazing service. But the real value added (their research and the benchmarks) is free.
