So I'm currently editing on a laptop (i5 5200u 2C/4T 2.20 GHz) and as you can probably imagine, video editing is pretty laggy for me (720p)
I'm wondering how laggy editing would be on different desktop CPUs - most online sources couldn't be bothered enough and only include render times, but I think smooth editing is more important than render times.
I know that "7" lineups are "best" for editing and you should "invest" in them, but Imma do some research first.
So has anyone edited on relatively low end CPUs like i3s or even i5s? I want to know how the process goes.
I've tried 2 CPUs (Hitfilm editing). i5 5200u has medium/high lag, and i3 4130 is medium/low lag (1080p, both without dedicated GPUs).
