Frankly, so do the Intels while we all wait for the 10nm chips with optimism. I am sure Ryzen would be "fine" but I think it would feel like a stepping stone build just waiting for the next build. But that is my problem with Intel, the generations are just not that far away from each other in performance and the E-chips have slower clocks. It just is not that far away from my 4790 outside of rendering.

The middle of the road single core performance is what is holding me back. I need to see some improvements in overclocking/bios optimizations to justify the move. That would be the best of all worlds Or a 9 core chip with one core above 5Ghz and the other 8 for encoding.Īnyway, I just can not make a decision yet on Ryzen.

Too bad Intel does not make dual socket i7 chipsets. Both like single core clock speed for in-program effectiveness while the exporting is an 8 or 10 core world. My main two programs are Lightroom and Edius for my video editing. I want to have a good reason to move to Ryzen from my 4790 but it is complicated as shown by this thread.
LIGHTROOM 6.2 FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE
This could and should motivate software developers to finally make more use of said cores. Ryzen brings multi-core at affordable prices "to the masses" (they hope). Software's fault entirely, because several images can be processed at once (enough RAM and SSD help there). But maybe that's also a process where more than 4 cores don't give you so much in return. This is one area where Lightroom makes use of all 4 cores a good chunk of the time (not all the time, though). And say goodbye to endless re-takes with Single Take and 5x more facial recognition. Shoot incredibly detailed 8K Videos, then pull out hi-res stills with 8K Video Snap - perfect for stunning portrait expressions, epic landscapes and everything in-between. I wonder why in the linked test/review the creation of previews was faster on the 7700K. The action is super steady and life-like too.

So I am curious how this will work out with Ryzens 8 cores. Still one can hope.īrushes can be made to tax all my 4 cores (doesn't seem to make much use of Hyperthreading cores), but ironically CPU load is higher when GPU acceleration is active in Lightroom. Older reviews already demonstrated that LR scales bad for more than 4 cores. Other stuff mostly seems to run on 2 or 3 cores, with the occasional load taxing all 4 cores. The worst example is its face-detection (plugin) that's mostly a single-core process. There has been an older review that showed very diminishing returns once you use more than 4 cores, even more so with more than 6 cores (that still showed some benefit). My hope would be to get more performance out of Lightroom, but the sad fact is that LR is badly implemented when it comes to using multiple cores. I am currently on a 4790K and ordered a 1800X (Asus mainboard still not available).
