For your Pana 4:2:2 try transcoding to Grass Valley HQX codec (4:2:2) and then edit with Edius. Your 4790K should be all you need for that.
For professional work you can try DaVinci Resolve (free) and if you have performance issues, try Optimized Media using ProRes or DNxHD. Resolve benefits...
LTC8K6 - I can't keep up with all the Intel Lakes, Gens and Versions - so please excuse me - except Anandtech says "To be clear, Kaby Lake is still an Intel Gen9 GPU – the core GPU architecture has not changed – but Intel has revised the video processing blocks to add further functionality and...
Bassman - Edius is a great NLE - and 8 has added h.265 timeline support using Intel iGPU decoding. Your 4790K has Intel 4600 iGPU (same as mine). The Kaby Lake i7-7700K has much faster and better quality iGPU with 4k support and better Quicksync which may be as good as software decoding. New i9...
1. Agreed - but many NLEs are using Intel iGPU for h.264 and h.265 decoding as 4k software decoding is taxing even the top CPUs when you add multiple layers of 4k. 7740X has disabled the iGPU so that leaves i7-770K - or wait for Coffee Lake as you say.
4. Competition is great and benefits us all...
Software encoding is not a problem but both encoding and decoding are CPU intensive. Using the Intel iGPU makes both faster using hardware acceleration. Neither Ryzen or new Intel i9 series have iGPUs so we can't compare them to to Kaby Lake i7-7700K. New 7740X has disabled the iGPU.
Me too - but I can't see the advantage - not using X299 features like Skylake X - disabled the Kaby Lake iGPU. I'm waiting for Coffee Lake 6 core with iGPU.
i9 is just a branding scheme to combat the Ryzen pressure. The i9's will just be the high end desktop parts that are Xeon's with ECC removed and repackaged. It is nothing different than prior high-end desktops which were labeled i7 with an X at the end. They do not have integrated graphics.
mtcn77 - not sure what Linus is referring to - do you have link?
Old Quicksync Video 4600 (on the 4790K) had encoding had quality issues but Kaby Lake iGPU has improved and actually has two encoding settings for speed vs best quality...

I am facing the same problem re upgrade for 4k video editing. What software are you using?
I was planning on i7-7700k then saw overheating problems so decided to wait for the new X series but just found new Kaby Lake 7740X has disabled the GPU !!
None of the Skylake X CPUs have a GPU or...
