Good Morning DaSedge, I am in the same situation I have a i9 with 18 cores. I am really frustrated with the performance of AE. It only use a fraction of its performance, my Macbook Pro with 4 core i7 goes about as fast. However when I render 4K in Premiere I see a huge difference, it then utilize a 100% of my CPUs. But when rendering 1080p it uses 25% Top, I thought it would also use more and go faster. I hope that future update will take advantage of faster more modern hardware. the bottom line for me: Do not buy a high-end computer it wont help you much for Adobe CC. Choose instead a mid range computer, for now. The added cost is really an overkill - cannot fully utilize it. Bregoire​ Thanks for the Tips and explanation In the meantime, have a great morning. -Jessie
