i9 9900K or AMD Threadripper?
Alrighty, I'm upgrading gear and trying to figure out if I should get the AMD Threadripper or the i9 9900K, what do you all think?
Also, I am thinking either the RTX 2070 or 2080 and 32 Gb RAM.
I use premiere more than anything for multi-camera editing. I'm using a 1st Gen i7 980x with a GTX 680. So, I'm very excited to make this upgrade! I was thinking i9 9900 but the benchmark is so much better on the AMD (e.g. AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X) (PassMark Intel vs AMD CPU Benchmarks - High End ). I have read that AMD sometimes doesn't work with premiere though. Also the three comparison puts the 9900K in the lead of all CPU's!: (PassMark CPU Benchmarks - Single Thread Performance )
I sometimes use photoshop, illustrator, lightroom, audition, and would love to be inspired by a better performing machine to learn some new things like maybe some animation.
One thing that I invested in was some software to do 360 tours which requires processing very high resolution photos, at least 36 per 360, and creating 360 virtual tours. This was killing my computer. So, I'm hoping to get something that will improve this workflow significantly as well as make premiere editing profoundly smoother and rendering faster.
