AMD RYZEN brings high performance 4K video editing to the masses on a budget

[Kisaha]

From everything I read, I just can't find a reason NOT to build an AMD system for Adobe Premiere, and I am sure software support will increase performance over time.

The more cores for the same amount of money of the AMD are a Godsend. Intel has to respond accordingly, and the new series of advanced CPUs are due to September.

Right about the time that I would be planning my new 4K editing PC.

Now, let's see their response to the 10x0 Pascal graphic cards!

Chipzilla will soon put AMD in its place... Yes they are arrogant and full of avarice but IT pros would never bet on a non-Intel platform and I suggest that fellow EosHDers looking to build a sweet premiere system should wait until Intel's response.

Intel released the x9i - 18 cores FTW???

"AMD is planning to release its own high-end enthusiast Ryzen line — dubbed the “Threadripper” — later this year with up to 16-cores and 32-threads, something that the newly announced 18-core i9 Extreme will compete head-to-head against." - at last an Intel vs AMD speed war.
