If creators of Vegas will add to it an ability to handle 16 cores and 32 threads – then yes. 😉

We won't be able to know much about the new processors until hardware samples are on the street and tested by someone interested in Vegas Pro.

If you're interested in how Vegas Pro handles thread count, it was discussed recently in this thread.

Andrew reported that he built a Xeon 16 core / 32 hyper-threaded machine.

To see for yourself how Vegas Pro configures the number of threads do this:

My crystal ball tells me 6-8 cores will remain optimal in Vegas for years to come.

Ryzen may even slow down the encoding engine a bit.

Once that's updated, the renderers and upstream filters will or will not be upgraded to use more cores over the coming years.

Iow, expect to see changes beginning around 2020.
