These new AMD 7000 Series processors are a content creator’s best friend

The recently unveiled AMD 7000 Series are designed to power top class workstationspromises serious performance improvements over its predecessor, the company said.
During the past month ‘live reveal’stated AMD president Dr. Lisa Su: “The performance of Ryzen 7000 single-threaded is up to 29% higher compared to Ryzen 5000. These are just huge performance improvements.”
And that much-vaunted increase in Processor performance proves to be a big boon to content creators and the creative workflow, according to newly released key benchmark tests.
Content creation with AMD 7000 series
In a series of tests conducted by Puget Systemsthe custom PC builder revealed that Adobe users can expect up to 30% performance improvements in Photoshop, lightroom Classic and After Effects
But while the photo editors and VFX software performed well over previous AMD incarnations, it’s bad news for professional video editors. Adobe’s industrial video editor proved less adept in the 7000 series.
while running Premiere Prowhat AMD’s latest processors struggled with Intel’s 12th Gen CPUs.
However, the team behind the tests noted that “when working with intraframe codecs like ProRes, the new AMD Ryzen 7000 series is roughly on par with Intel Core 12th-generation processors, while RAW images like RED are a whopping 42% be faster with Ryzen.”
For video content creators, this means assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the new CPUs against their own specific use cases.
Beyond the ubiquitous Adobe ecosphere, DaVinci Resolve – our favorite free video editing software – was put to the test. The Adobe Premiere Pro alternative showed a consistent 10-15% improvement in performance over older hardware.
CineBench, V-Ray, Unreal Engine and 3D modeling software Blender was also tested and every time the AMD 7000 series triumphed over its Intel counterparts.
The AMD 7000 series, which features Zen 4 architecture plus DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 support, launches with the Ryzen 5 7600X, Ryzen 7 7700XRyzen 9 7900X, and Ryzen 9 7950X. Released on September 27, prices start at $299 / £259, up to $699 / £599.
While that’s cheaper than the previous generation, we noted in our Ryzen 9 7950X test that while it’s “undoubtedly the best processor on the market,” the lower cost is offset by the need to invest in a new one. video editing computer.
