Why are we only using DDR4-2666 RAM with Threadripper?
Plenty of reviews show you can get higher performance by using faster memory, so why are we limiting our workstations to DDR4-2666?
Lightroom CC 2015.12 CPU Performance: Core i9 7940X, 7960X, 7980XE
Lightroom contains a number of tasks that can utilize a decent number of CPU cores, but with Intel’s new CPUs you can now have up to 18 physical cores on a single consumer CPU. Can Lightroom actually make use of all these additional cores?
After Effects CC 2017.2 CPU Performance: Core i9 7940X, 7960X, 7980XE
For years, After Effects has struggled to utilize high core count CPUs effectively. Will this hold true for the new 14, 16, and 18 core Intel CPUs, or will they give us a surprise?
Premiere Pro CC 2017.1.2 CPU Performance: Core i9 7940X, 7960X, 7980XE
With up to 18 physical cores, Intel’s new Skylake-X CPUs are very impressive from a technological perspective. Can Premiere Pro put all those cores to use, or would you be better off with a lower cost processor with fewer cores?
Revit 2018 CPU Comparison
Intel Core and AMD Ryzen processor performance in Autodesk Revit 2018, including both general modeling and rendering performance.
KeyShot 7 CPU Comparison: Skylake-X vs Threadripper
This article looks at the performance of Intel’s Skylake-X CPUs (including the new Core i9 7920X 12-core) compared to AMD’s Threadripper 12- and 16-core CPUs in KeyShot 7. Several other CPU platforms are also included for reference.
V-Ray CPU Comparison: Skylake-X vs Threadripper
This article looks at the performance of Intel’s Skylake-X CPUs (including the new Core i9 7920X 12-core) compared to AMD’s Threadripper 12- and 16-core CPUs in V-Ray. Several other CPU platforms are also included for reference.
Cinema 4D CPU Comparison: Skylake-X vs Threadripper
This article looks at the performance of Intel’s Skylake-X CPUs (including the new Core i9 7920X 12-core) compared to AMD’s Threadripper 12- and 16-core CPUs in Cinebench R15. Several other CPU platforms are also included for reference.
Photoshop CC 2017.1.1 CPU Comparison: Skylake-X vs Threadripper
While neither Skylake-X or Threadripper are likely the best choice for a pure Photoshop workstation, Photoshop is such a widely used application that we thought it would be useful to see just how well these two CPU lines perform.
Premiere Pro CC 2017.1.2 CPU Comparison: Skylake-X vs Threadripper
In this article we will be comparing Intel’s Skylake-X CPUs (including the new Core i9 7920X 12 core) to AMD’s Threadripper CPUs in Premiere Pro.
