Why buy threadripper when it sucks with video editing?

I mean unless you are a user who needs 10/16 cores for scientific tasks, why would you need a TR? All presumtions based on this video.

What about if you're not editing videos?

Context man... Not everyone uses Premiere Pro for video editing so not everyone will benefit from the iGPU.

Why buy X299 then as well, right?

Adobe SUCKS generally at utilizing Ryzen, and generally hardware horsepower. I would love to see different video editing software like Davinci resolve, but there just arent that many quality video editors that would offer enough to entice people to switch.

 

Also they just added in the quicksync feature, and then a windows update bricked it, then a new fix for it. If intel add in a 8 core with a IGPU or a 10 core with a iGPU that has a great frequency, there really becomes a less and less point in getting the High core count parts for editing when it gets to be like this.

Very few people would buy a 16 core processor if they are not. An R7/8700 is sufficient then.

Blender? 3ds max? lol

Animation focuses heavily on core count. and depending on the type of rendering youre doing a high core count cpu would be better than a 7700k at 6ghz lol

Use the right CPU for the use cases. There is no one CPU to rule them all.

I am completely operational, and all my circuits are functioning perfectly.

Software and database development, large parallel data-set development. Simulation and simulation development - when I simulate an emergency that impacts all of the mid-west on software that detects critical infrastructure failures I absolutely kill 8/16 machines and wish for higher core counts. Clock speed doesn't matter as much when you have several thousand parallel tasks happening at once. That's just debugging, when we run we run on high end server hardware, but I have been pushing for TR workstations to develop on to cut down on the wait times and cost for shared VM space. Our cloud bills are ridiculous to try to run all of this I have been working up a proof that the cost of TR workstations for developers would cut cloud support costs by enough to pay for itself in a few months.
