Premiere Pro and Multicore Support

I dont see any advantage of using more than 8 cores. Are you sure that Premier Pro uses more than 8 cores?

Alur,

According to Puget Systems, you get around 98% efficiency with 8-12 cores - then efficiency begins to flatline a little. More cores are a bit better, but not noticeably so. Personally, I like overkill, so 10-14 cores is where I'd aim my personal workstation if I was building one.

Hope that helps,

Kevin

@Kevin_Monahan from which version of PP was multi threaded support available?

Kevin,

Please clarify cores and threads for this discussion.

You can't buy 5 and 7 core hyperthreaded Intel processors (that would result in 10/14 threads), so I think that it's pretty clear that you do mean cores.

And, if you have 10 to 14 cores, most Intel CPUs would be giving us 20 to 28 threads. Microsoft generally sees threads, and not cores, so far as multi-threaded software runs.

So, are you saying that Premiere Pro 2019 (13.x) and its sweet spot of 8-12 cores is really saying 16 to 24 threads?

Thanks,

Jim

I'll see if I can get KarlSoule​ to respond.

Any update here?
