Nowadays, with the prosperity of video self-media, there are more and more small partners who want to learn to shoot and edit videos and engage in video creation. If you want the content to become more professional and the video form to be more attractive, it is not enough to rely on the accumulation of experience, but also to have a strong hardware equipment strength as a support. On a smooth computer, it takes a day to carefully polish a video, but on the old computer, even the cut and add special effects have to be stuck for half a day, such inefficiency, obviously greatly drag down the progress of creation, consume enthusiasm.
If you need to improve your creative productivity, buying or assembling a high-performance editing PC is the threshold. In the video editing process, CPU rendering dominates, and its performance has become the key to determining rendering efficiency. The Ryzen™ 5 5600X launched by AMD has recently been selling at a lower price, it is based on AMD's new Zen3 architecture, with 6 cores and 12 threads, acceleration frequency up to 4.6GHz, in terms of editing video, its core specifications are completely sufficient, easily get a real-time preview of most 4K videos.
In the classic PCMark 10 video clip test, the Ryzen 5 5600X was able to get a high score of 3877, far exceeding the Ryzen 5 3600X's score of about 3300. It can be said that whether it is the H264 with low AVX performance requirements or the H265 encoding with higher AVX performance requirements, the Ryzen 5 5600X can provide the efficiency performance comparable to the old 8-core 16-thread CPU, and the cost-effective advantage is outstanding.
Continuous performance release also affects the efficiency of the clip, in the test with 240 water cooling, the full core frequency of the Ryzen 5 5600X can be stabilized at about 4.45GHz to 4.65GHz, and the temperature can be controlled within 70 ° C, and the temperature control effect is very good. If paired with the Wraith Stealth radiator included in the original box, the temperature of the Ryzen 5 5600X will be relatively high, the peak temperature in the high-strength grill will rush to more than 90 ° C, and the full core frequency will also be reduced, which will have a certain impact on performance. Therefore, we recommend that editors who need to produce long videos and frequent and long-term renderings can purchase additional powerful tower radiators or 240 water cooling to ensure full performance.
In addition, on the supporting hardware, Ryzen 5 5600X can choose the mainstream B550 and X570 motherboards, with both of which support the PCIe 4.0 protocol, can support PCIe 4.0 SSD, provide faster read and write speeds, and bring faster response speed in material handling, video import and export. If users do not have much demand for high-speed solid-state and want to save installation costs, they can also choose the old B450 motherboard, most B450 motherboards can support the new Ryzen™ 5000 series CPUs after upgrading the BIOS.
Overall, AMD Ryzen™ 5600X thanks to architectural improvements, bringing more powerful single-core performance, memory performance, AVX performance and PCIe 4.0 support, which is all efficiency BUFF for video editing users, choosing the Ryzen™ 5600X installation on peripheral equipment is also more cost-effective, definitely the first choice for creating a cost-effective video editing PC!
