You need good GPU and in some cases Intel Integrated GPU is very useful ( more than 64 cores Xeon). With Resolve it’s not just about cores as those will be used up to 100% only for some tasks. I would probably go with single socket, something like Threadripper PRO 5975WX ( 32 cores at very high clock). Not sure if I would invest in Xeons ( unless you need many PCIe lanes). Then from that pick one which has highest base clock. Set yourself budget and then limit your list.įrom that list select ones which have highest base clock*cores value. And my new workstation-computer should be equal in performance, or preferably be better in performance, than my current desktop-computer.) (Note: I don't want a processor that has less than 16-cores, as that is the amount of cores I already have in my current desktop-computer. Here's a list of all the available "Intel Xeon"-processors I can select from, according to the manufacturer of the computer: (My budget for the processor is around $3000-$5000 - although I'd prefer to get it cheaper, of course, if any of the cheaper "Intel Xeon"-processors are good enough.) Therefore I wonder how many cores are actually necessary, and what clock-speed is actually necessary, in order for me to smoothly edit 4K videos in "DaVinci Resolve Studio" (including heavy use of "Fusion"), without any lag/hiccups/problems? (For example the "Gold"- and "Platinum"-series of the "Intel Xeon"-processors.) However, processors that have a very high amount of cores, in combination with having a high clock-speed, are very expensive. I've heard that the more cores a processor has, the better but I've also heard that it's only relevant up to a certain number of cores - as one will start to get diminishing returns/lack of benefit, above a certain number of cores.Īnd I've also heard that the higher the clock-speed of the processor, the more effective it will be. Which of the "Intel Xeon"-processors should I choose for smooth/unproblematic 4K video-editing in "DaVinci Resolve Studio" (including heavy use of "Fusion")? This is a question for any computer-experts on this forum:
