Intel vs Threadripper how many cores?

[aiur4]

Do Adobe software like After effects and Premier pro use more than 8 cores? I know that no matter how many cores, the software will utilize all cores but I never heard that Adobe can use more than 8 cores! Dont they rely on the high clock speed?

And here's the proof that After Effects does not use more than 8 cores.

But I want to make sure that I need to choose the right CPU.

1. Do all Adobe software including AE take advantage from more than 8 cores instead of high clock speed?

2. If so, any data or proof?

3. Which CPU do you recommend?

No, no and no. I would suggest you read up on the many "How do I optimize AE performance?" and similar threads. Going crazy with an excessive number of cores achieves nothing. For mathematical and technical reasons m,any operations in graphics-centric programs are limited in their ability to run multi-threaded to begin with and architecturally due to their historic backgrounds and API requirements many Adobe apps will only use a limited number of cores. therefore a conservative approach of choosing the highest-rated four, six or eight core i7/i9 or equivalent will serve your needs best.
