Thanks for your replies. I have never owned an HP. Have had good experiences with Dell until this laptop's motherboard failed. The Lenovo/China spying thing does catch my attention though. I will be honest.
The need for a mini displayport is culling the choices as this connection has lost...
I just had my Dell XPS15 from 2010 die and am in the market for a new laptop. My needs are solid WIFI, 1080 IPS screen quality and a display port! I do some photography jobs where this laptop runs an external monitor for image preview. Display port allows me to use my color calibrator on the...
That is what I thought. This is for my business so I am shooting for a 5 year usage cycle. So getting the most out of the chip is what I am looking for.
I ended up purchasing a binned 7900x rated for 4.6GHz. It will be interesting to see how far I can push it with my cooling setup, which is why I went with the delidding in the end. Silicon Lottery said they feel anybody wanting to overclock the 7900x would want the benefit of the lower temps...
Thanks for all of your replies. This is a complex topic as reading the Tom's articles points to doing whatever you can to reduce whatever you can for this processor. Makes me lean towards the delidded product...
Yes, Silicon Lottery sells CPUs that are delidded, changed out with different...
ok. So delidding would be for overclocking performance gains. Which in my case is a pretty low bar. Sounds like I do not need a delidded CPU then correct?
I thought the delidding process would result in the processor running cooler because the AIO water cooler would be more efficient at taking the heat away. Thus resulting in less heat put out into the room air.
You are saying the processor makes "X" amount of heat weather delidded or not. If...
Threadripper is a close second but it seems to be limited to 4GHz. My software needs have a mix of single and multithreaded tasks. So the 7900x seems to fit that bill a little better (with an overclock).
Thanks for your replies. I am really looking for some perspective. I want the upgrade to have a speed advantage over my current 4790 CPU but do not want to have a portable space heater just to accomplish the task. After reading the linked page it seems if I want a chance to have *decent*...
Hello,
I am a video editor and am looking to upgrade my current 4790k to a 7900x. I have a Corsair H110 AIO water cooler which is probably the largest I can get into my current case.
My goals for overclocking the chip are to have two cores at 4.7-4.8 and the rest in the 4.1-4.3 range. Not a...
@StefanR5R - thanks for your reply. It sounds like the 7900x is my best choice even if I can not overclock it as much as I might want. I am not building until mid August so I will keep my eye on things.
I am a video editor and have been waiting to upgrade my 4790k CPU. Initially, the 7900x looked like a great fit but I am concerned about heat (and fan noise). My hope is to have the 7900x running at 4.5GHz for all cores when I encode and when I am editing for timeline playback. Right now I...
Hello,
I am looking at building an X299 setup with a Skylake 7900X CPU and an Asus Prime mobo. I do video editing and will be getting 32GB of RAM. I am looking for some guidance on the endless amount of options, so here are my questions:
Over the years it seems many say memory speed does not...
Thanks for your reply. No worries. I am very frustrated as my 4790k is not cutting it for multi-camera 1080p60 jobs but finding something that does cut it is proving to be difficult. I am pretty sure TR will be lacking in clock speed to be a fit. I want to support AMD but a delidded 7900x...
Whatever, I will play along as I never said I was a CPU expert. I am just trying to figure out which path to take as an upgrade from my 4790k. I have a difficult situation as I am a video professional and my software has a mix of ST and MT tasks. Yes, 16 cores would be nice for encoding but...
Topweasel, your point is obvious, so it is not missed. Your attitude is snarky. You are trying to make a decision for me based upon unknown information. Just say that you do not think TR will have comparable ST performance with the 7900x and stop trying to make this a teachable moment :)...
Thanks for your replies. My hope for a larger core count chip would be to have one or two cores in the 4.5GHz range while the rest of the chip would probably be down around the 4GHz range. IF this is possible it would be a great workhorse. If not then the 7900X is my ticket which might be...
Does anybody know for certain that TR will have single core or "golden core" overclocking like the 7900X does? As stated earlier in the thread, I would need the single core performance to match the 7900X or TR is a no go for me. It seems this feature was absent from Ryzen. How do you know if...
You were right. The paste has turned out to be a cost saving measure that might have brought the pricing down but has lost the enthusiast market. I guess Intel wanted to bring the price down with the increased competition from AMD. The temps are ridiculous and I will be looking into a...
Thanks for your input. I do not quite understand all of your points though. I am fine with editing in a 10 bit environment but previewing in 8 bit if that is what you mean. Most all consumer delivery is in 8 bit so it is wise to use that as a gauge. Sort of like recording audio in 24 bit but...
The codec is more compressed with bitrates in the 25-50Mbps range which is probably why it is so taxing to decode in realtime. Great for aquisition but tough for editing.
Thanks for your responses. The lack of clear options sort of sucks. I do not want to transcode everything and the system does bog down with 1080p60 material with some filters applied. I will wait until some Edius users can test the new chips to see if there is any benefit but I am not super...
I don't disagree, but you seem to be speaking to why this has happened, not just that it happened. Actually, Intel added 2 cores last year with the 10 core chip for $1650. This year 10 cores will cost you $650 less. If you want say that is business as usual then 2018 should be even more...
It does not surprise me that Intel is trimming costs as the pricing has come down. Many of us speculated Intel would not be budging on price with this current round of chips. I am happy to be wrong. They have reacted with pricing and in a big way. Last time around an 8 core HEDT cost you...
Well my only desire to get a system that will execute better than I have now. My problem is my Panasonic cameras use a 4:2:2 10 bit codec which I am pretty sure is not supported by Kaby Lake's Quicksync version. I was hoping to find out if Coffee Lake had a new spec IGP but it seems like it...
I use Grass Valley Edius as my editor. Software encoding is always better for quality but you need a lot of CPU to make up for the encoding time difference from Quicksync. Playback decoding is like a free gift. I wish motherboard manufacturers offered this feature as a separate onboard chip...
What if they actually overclock well? Does that mean that the TIM is still bad? I am not trying to argue just point out that do you think Intel would risk and entire generation of their top end line if the performance was not there?
Hey thanks for your help! I currently have a 4790k chip that is not cutting it. My editing software offers Quicksync decode acceleration but I think that only applies to 8bit 4:2:0 video material. I shoot with 10bit 4:2:2 codecs and was hoping there would be a new generation of Quicksync to...
Hello,
I will be building a new system this summer and trying to sort out all of the processors Intel is coming out with.
I thought there was going to be a 6 core CPU that had onboard graphics? Is this still in the future or did I just misunderstand?
My focus is video editing and was hoping...
