I have just updated to 14.6 from 14.3 and was exporting some recent projects to confirm everything was working OK but I noticed the 14.6 version is slower by about 30% than 14.3 even though it is meant to have performance upgrades.
My setup is an i9 9900k, GTX 1080ti, 32GB ram and 1TB m2 drives for both OS and caching drive, the OS is Win 10 Version 1909. Nothing else has changed other than the update.
All the footage I use is H.264 and I export to the Youtube H.254 1080 profile.
The main difference is that 14.6 is only using about 20% of the CPU cores when exporting whereas 14.3 used 95% of the CPU cores. The GPU usage is more consistent with 14.6 at about 60% were 14.3 was varying from 20% to 90%.
I have gone back to 14.3 because of the lack of CPU usage just making the whole export process slower than before.
My question is: Is 14.6 optimized more towards the newer 10th gen CPU's and the RTX 3080 as I'm looking at upgrading to those soon but if Premier is going to be slower with the latest updates then there seems little point until CPU utilisation is better sorted.
