Time to upgrade my computer. I am thinking of using the new Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 3.4 GHz 16-Core sTR4 Processor but wonder if Vegas can use the 16 cores. What do you guys think?
Not much has changed in Vegas, it still runs better with higher clock speeds then more cores. For the price of the 1950X I would rather buy a i9-7900x.
I'd have to agree. Unless you do other CPU intensive work on your computer that is better suited for multicore, such as CG animation, motion graphics, etc... If Vegas is your primary CPU hog, you're better off with the intel chip. If you use programs like Cinema 4D, like I do, the performance of the AMD chip is good enough to make it worth skipping intel.
Agreed with above comment: I have a 32 thread workstation and Vegas never uses more than 50% CPU. Better to have high clock speed and 8 or 12 threads.
