Question

After Effects slow rendering

Hi everyone
I need help
I rendered an Adobe After Effects project at hp z820 and it took one and half hour to render.
And when rendering the same project on hp i7 4th gen, it took twenty minutes
What is the reason for this?
While HPZ 820 has more cores and i7 has less
Hpz 820 specs
Processor: w2687 (2) processor ( total 16 cores 40 mb cache 3.0)
56 gb ram
Gpu: Nvidia Gtx 760 ( 2
gb ddr5)
Hdd: 240 Ssd
I7 specs:
4790 processor 3.6 (4 cores 6mb cache)
12 gb ram
Gpu: Nvidia quadro 600(1gb)
Hdd: 120 gb ssd

Should I use i7 for video editing and rendering?
And why should it be done?

Would you get access to the link below to check your performance? I would not think After Effects supports the dual CPU fully.

@ToolfarmJP Thanks for helping

The link you provided
I have checked that
But after that I had the ssd of the hp z820 with windows 10 installed on it
It's a SanDisk 240GB
I took it out and put it in the i7 and ran the window
And when I re-rendered on i7, its speed was slow
Then I found out that in i7
Intel's 120GB SSD pre-installed renders faster
And I think the sandisk 240gb ssd is slow or bad
But is it also possible that the speed is slow due to too many Adobe After Effects plugins installed in Sandisk?
While Intel's SSD has no extra plug-ins installed

Without any info about the project and its contents we can't really tell you much, but it probably simply comes down to per core efficiency and everything just using one or two cores.
