I9 9900k vs r7 2700X, is there a big enough difference to get the i9?

[Puffing]

I want a cpu good for premiere pro and adobe cc. Pudget systems benchmarks show a small difference, Is that difference worth 250 dollars usd? 

2700x or 9900k?

Personally, no its not enough of a difference to warrant the large disparity in prices for similar performance. But I would recommend actually waiting. Rumors have it the Ryzen 3 Processors are going to be announced at the end of May and launching in June.

Difference isn't $250.  Look at motherboards and CPU cooler cost differences as well. It's more like $300-$350.

 

Only you can tell if it's worth it, it's your money and usage, not mine.

Being honest for these Adobe specific applications even the i7 9700K will outperform the Ryzen 7 2700X by a signficant enough margin to be considered.

 

The actual editing part is single threaded depended: warps, previews, after effects and so on so it's snappier and faster with Intel's stronger single core performance and lower Ring Bus latency.

 

Furthermore rendering on Premiere Pro now can be aid by the iGPU as a hardware acceleration method where even the i7 8700K will match a Threadripper 1950X in rendering:

 

 

So yeah if the i9 9900K is too expensive at least consider the i7 9700K or i7 8700K since these will the best alternatives for your workload.

Depends.

 

Is your time = money?

 

If so, a small boost to productivity can make up $350 pretty quickly.

So not even a 9900k just a 9700k would work?

These are not small differences. if you're actually going to use all or most of your power this will make a big difference.

Now, real world probably comes out differently but you can pretty confidently say the i9 comes out on top.

 

Why the $250 price difference? If you're dealing with USD newegg shows the difference as $200 in country. Where are you located?

Better cooler and possibly added cost on MoBo

This.

 

If you're being paid to do Premiere work, buy the best tool for the job that helps you get more work out the door faster.

 

If you're doing this for fun from time to time, I'd save the coin and funnel it towards GPU or beer or rent or......

Is the 100 dollar difference from 9700k to 9900k. Considering I’ll get the same MoBo. Also would a 7700k be sufficient for this task?

The i7 7700K is comparable to an i5 8400 so it's significantly lesser than an i7 9700K

 

is 100 dollars worth it? I don't know, only you can know if it worth it or not... depends how much of a professional work you'll be up to, I just consider the i7 9700K over all a better pick than a Ryzen 7 2700X and all things considered pricing is not that much different at the end considering full builds.

I will be editing videos and creating images every week and want to be able to do this effectively. I will make 2 builds and see the difference in price and then I’ll decide. Also what the would the difference be from a 7700k and a 9700k? Is there a good site for this?
