What new processor, computer for Premiere Pro?

[Michal Kora]

Hello. I want to buy a new computer, for Premiere Pro and MSFS 2020.
AMD processors are recommended for MSFS. How does this relate to Premiere?
Please give me your opinion, my starter kit:
I make sure it's quiet and stable. There are RGB elements, but I want to give them up, I don't want LED.
I'm ripping VHS, so I need to connect a FireWire 800 IEEE1394b card.
I selected it for MSFS, will it be ok for Premiere Pro? Should I change? For what?

- AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D

- Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX

- Kingston FURY 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MHz CL32 FURY Renegade RGB White XMP

- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GAMING OC V2 12GB GDDR6X

- Seasonic VERTEX GX 1000W 80 Plus Gold ATX 3.0

- Arctic Liquid Freezer II 3x120mm

- Kingston 2TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe KC3000

Need to determine what is more important. FS or Premiere.

Premiere prefers Intel and Nvidia.

It depends, of course. Do you work with any long-GOP mp4 media? For that, Intel is needed, as AMD doesn't provide any hardware decoding support for H.264/5 long-GOP clips, like from so many cameras (Sony A7x-x for instance) and most screen recording software.

I don't get much, and I can proxy or transcode it easily enough when I do. So I went with many fast cores ... a 24-core Ryzen 3960x. BUT ... I did go with an Nvidia GPU, as Premiere vastly prefers CUDA ... to anything AMD offers.

Take these opinions with a moderation because they are trying to sell high end tower rigs. However they have some of the most comprehensive test results of any site. (they can afford to with the markup they put on these high end rigs)

The processor (or CPU) is one of the most important pieces of a Premiere Pro workstation. While GPU acceleration is gaining traction, right now your choice of CPU is usually going to make a much larger impact on overall system performance. However, be aware a CPU that is theoretically more powerful is not always better since there is a limit to the number of cores that Premiere Pro can effectively take advantage of. This is one of the reasons why an expensive dual Xeon workstation is no longer a good choice for Premiere Pro. With the core counts available in modern CPUs, a relatively standard workstation CPU will easily outperform a xenon at a much lower cost.

What CPU is best for Premiere Pro?

The best CPU for Premiere Pro depends heavily on what you will be doing and your budget. For workloads that are primarily using H.264 and H.265 (HEVC), Intel’s Core i9 14900K does a great job – thanks to its built-in QuickSync functionality – and is very reasonably priced. When working with RED footage, on the other hand, AMD’s Threadripper 7970X and 7980X top the charts. And as new models come out these may be usurped, so check our CPU performance articles.."     Here is the site.  https://www.pugetsystems.com/solutions/video-editing-workstations/adobe-premiere-pro/hardware-recomm....
