Intel i9 11th generation for video editing (Premiere Pro) ....... thoughts please

[mattw18031988]

Hi everyone,

I recently got the following specs for a new computer build ....

•INTEL CORE I9 10900K 10 CORES 20 THREADS 3.70 GHZ 20M CACHE
LGA 1200 PROCESSOR
• 2x (64GB Total) KINGSTON 32GB 2666MHz DDR4 NonECC CL19
DIMM
• CORSAIR CARBIDE SERIES 275Q MIDTOWER QUIET GAMING CASE
BLACK
• CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H60I V2 PERFORMANCE LIQUID CPU
COOLER
• GIGABYTE Z590 UD INTEL ULTRA DURABLE MOTHERBOARD WITH
DIRECT 12+1 PHASES DIGITAL VRM AND DRMOS, FULL PCIE 4.0*
DESIGN, EXTENDED THERMAL DESIGN
• CORSAIR HX850 850W 80PLUS PLATINUM HIGH PERFORMANCE
POWER SUPPLY
• ASUS DUALRTX3060O12G 12GB GDDR6 PCIE.0 192BIT 1xHDMI
3xDP
• Samsung 980 Pro 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD Read up to
7000MB/s, Write Up to 5000MB/s, 5 Years Warranty
• WD RED PLUS 8TB SATA3 256MB CACHE
• MICROSOFT WINDOWS PRO 10 64BIT ENG

In a nutshell my computer guy cannot source the i9 10900 CPU but can get a 11th generation i9 CPU.

I'm no computer expert but my research suggets that the 10th generation i9 might well be better for Premiere Pro video editing than the latest 11th generation ???

What are your thoughts please ??

Many thanks,

Matt

ps - only other change to that list of components is a higher end cooler.

I don't need one, but seems to be available at Amazon

Thanks for the reply there John .... I'm in New Zealand so would rather be dealing locally.

Cheers,

Matt

I do not recommend the 11th-Generation i9 at this time:

It, core- and thread-count-wise, is actually a downgrade from the 10th-Generation i9 since it has only 8 cores and 16 threads versus the 10 cores and 20 threads of the 10th-Gen i9.

Next, the 11th-Gen i9 is barely any improvement over its i7 sibling to justify the substantially higher cost.

Third, all of the 11th-Gen desktop CPUs consume significantly more power than their 10th-Gen predecessors, requiring more robust cooling just to keep CPU operating temperatures in check.

And all this is because the 11th-Gen desktop CPUs introduce an architecture that had been designed for the 10 nm manufacturing process that Intel had serious trouble achieving sufficiently high clock speeds with while "backporting" it to the desktop CPUs' 14 nm process that dated all the way back to 2014 with Broadwell (5th-Gen Intel CPUs). That, IMHO, has stretched out Intel's over-six-year-old manufacturing process a bit too far for its own good, especially since Intel had to nerf the Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics and its QuickSync capabilities just to make the new architecture fit into the existing desktop CPU manufacturing process, turning the Iris Xe graphics that is in the 11th-Gen mobile quad-core CPUs into the UHD Graphics 750 and 730 for these desktop CPUs.

In other words, the 11th-Gen i9 is not worth the significantly added cost and power consumption. Go with the i7-11700K instead if you want an 8-core Intel 11th-Gen CPU as that CPU is not as much of a ripoff as the i9-11900K.
