4 Core i7 CPU enough for after effects?

[Aahritya Rajwar]

I'm planning to get the Asus Tuf Dash f15 laptop with i7 11370H (4-cores)

Will after effects work all good four cores or should I go with a 8-core Ryzen CPU with which i won't get better GPU for 3d rendering work.

Less cores are better for AE, given that many of its functions aren't even multithreaded and parallelized. There's literally hundreds of threads on this under the subject heading of "performance optimization in AE" and similar. So your quad core will do just fine and unless you have different requirements for otehr apps there would be little point getting a processor with more cores.

Thanks a lot man! With after effects i want to use illlustrator, Photoshop, Cinema4d and some basic chrome things. Will my 4core i7 run After Effects + Illustrator + Chrome all together?

It should be fine for working all these apps competently.  Cinema4D can utilise more cores for rendering, but overall Adobe software relies more on higher clock speed than more cores.

Get as much RAM as you can afford.  And try to configure that RAM so you can add more later if you can.

Thank You Andrew! for rendering ill use Octane CPU based render, and yeah ill get 24gigs of ram which is max supported by the laptop. Thanks a lot!!!!!!:)
