How does Ryzen perform in Adobe Premiere Pro?

Here is the rewritten text in a well-structured article format:

**Comparing Stock Performance of Ryzen 5 CPUs**

The first graph we'll be examining today shows the simulated stock performance of Ryzen 5 CPUs from various tiers. To create this graph, I clocked each CPU to its stock boost clock, as I believe that even with a Wraith Spire cooler, you can expect to see that boost clock frequently.

As you can see from the graph, it's quite linear in nature, with little variation between different CPU stepping levels. This is likely due to the fact that all Ryzen 5 CPUs are clocked at similar core speeds, around 3.7 GHz, and have relatively small differences in their maximum overclocks, typically reaching around 4 GHz.

**Overclocking Performance**

To further examine the performance of these CPUs, I decided to overclock them to 4 GHz, or run them at that speed for different core amounts. Again, the graph shows a very linear relationship between CPU stepping levels, which may indicate that there's more to consider than just clock speed when it comes to comparing Ryzen 5 CPUs.

**Impact on Render Time**

One area where this performance difference becomes apparent is in render times for video editing applications like Premiere Pro. A 300 MHz increase in clock speed can result in a significant reduction in render time, with some tests showing a 40-second difference between different CPU models.

This highlights the importance of overclocking when using Ryzen 5 CPUs for video editing. Even small increases in clock speed can make a big impact on rendered times. With this in mind, if you're considering upgrading from one Ryzen 5 CPU to another, it may be worth investigating the latest model before making a decision.

**Should You Upgrade to Ryzen 7?**

Based on these results, I wouldn't recommend upgrading to Ryzen 7 just yet. The new version of Ryzen is due out soon, and it's expected to offer significant clock speed increases, potentially in the range of 400 MHz.

From this test, it's clear that a small overclock can make a big difference in Premiere Pro, so it may be worth waiting for the next generation of Ryzen before upgrading. However, if you're currently using an older model like the Ryzen 3 and plan to upgrade soon anyway, going from Horizon 5 to Horizon 7 may still be worth considering.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, when comparing stock performance, it's clear that Ryzen 5 CPUs are relatively similar in terms of clock speed. However, when overclocking and pushing these CPUs to their limits, the differences become more apparent, particularly in terms of render times for video editing applications. If you're planning to upgrade from one Ryzen 5 CPU to another soon, waiting for the next generation of Ryzen may be the better option.

But if you do need to upgrade, Horizon 7 is still a worthwhile investment, especially if you're currently using an older model like the Ryzen 3 and want to future-proof your system.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthe risin lineup of CPUs are comparatively very powerful productivity wise for the amount of money you have to pay for them with rising seven you get eight cores rising five you get six and rising three you get a quad-core for a small amount of money now the thing that I want to answer with this video is if you're using Premiere Pro to edit all of your YouTube videos how much of the reason is there to upgrade your I don't know 1,300 X to a 1600 X or your 1600 X to a 1700 X how much of the reason is there to go between the different CPUs in the risin liner if you're rendering on Premiere Pro now before I go any further with this video I do want to clarify my testing methodology so that if you don't agree with it you don't get like halfway into the video realize that you don't agree with my testing methodology and then threaten to burn my house down because I wasted some of your time now because I'm not a massively established YouTube channel that AMD just like Chuck's products at that I need four tests I had to simulate the actual risin line up now I only have a 1700 X CPU and for this test how I kind of simulated horizon 5 and horizon 3 CPU was by turning off the appropriate amount of course and then clocking it to the actual clock speed of the CPU that I'm trying to simulate now I do realize that this isn't really the most accurate test because the 1700 X has way more cash available for the cores so it means that yes you might be running at the same core speed as a 1600 X with the same core amounts but yours you still have more cash available so it might perform better than that specific CPU and now with all of the semantics out of the way I think we can have a look at the system that I'm gonna be using for the tests today this is actually the liquid cooled PC that I've been building over the last couple of months and if you want to see a more detailed video about the PC that's standing behind me here do have a look in the video description below I'll have it linked the video that is not the PC but yes let's give you a basic rundown of the parts it's got a 1700 X CPU in it it's got 16 gigs of DDR 4 clocked at 3000 megahertz and I've got all of the components running at the exact same kind of specification for all of the tests so the only variable is the core amount and the actual core clock that I'm going to be running it at for a graphics card I've got a GTX 1080 and for the actual scratch disk I'm going to be using it's a 500 gig 960 Evo nvme drive yeah and it's the same for all of the tests so hopefully it gives a rough indication of how much performance you'll gain from moving between the different CPUs in the product lineup and then finally when it comes to the actual video that I used for the rendering in Premiere Pro I just used a bunch of kind of 1080p 50 frames per second footage that I use in my daily kind of YouTube workflow I make that sound like I'm an actual kind of full-time youtuber which I'm I'm not but yes so the footage has an adjustment layer on it which has a lot of color correction in it and then I also running a lot on top of that and then there are a lot of like video transition effects between all of it so it's four and a half minutes of kind of like a lot of stuff happening so it's quite a difficult video to render I know it's not 4k I wanted to use 4k initially for this test but I couldn't find any decent 4k stock footage there was of a high enough bitrate yeah speaking of rendering bitrate I'll have in the screen magically appear the kind of actual rendering settings that I used for this video and it's it was the same for all of the tests throughout Oh finally through all of the just kind of setting up the tests now with all that out the way let's actually have a look at the performance the first graph that we're going to be looking at today is the simulated stock CPUs that I have in the different tiers now the way that I did this is I actually clocked it to the stock boost clock of the CPU because I think with even something like a wraith aspire cooler on it you're gonna be getting that boost clock a lot of the time and then with the specific core account of that CPU as well now the thing that's the most obvious from the Graff is that it's a very linear graph there's a very exact difference between each CPU stepping and I think that that's because the the difference is pretty much the core about because all of the rise in CPUs are weirdly clocked to like pretty much at the same core clock if you're looking at the X of area so if you're looking at the 1700 X as opposed to the 1600 X they're all boost to about 3.7 gigahertz and they also all seem to have a fairly similar max overclock as well they're all get to about 4 gigahertz if you're lucky now that's actually what I then did is I decided to try and overclock all of them to 4 gigahertz or have it run at 4 gigahertz for the different core amounts and again it's a very linear graph showing that one of the problems with this test is the whole cache thing so you have to keep in mind that there might actually be a bigger difference between the specific CPUs because yes they have a smaller amount of cache compared to the bigger CPU and now actually moving on to the difference between the kind of stock clock of 3.7 gigahertz or 3.6 and some of them and the 4 gigahertz overclock now I was really impressed by how much of the difference is actually made in render time because well it's like a 300 megahertz lot and it made like a 40 second difference in most of the cases which means that if you have a rise in CPU and you're running Premiere Pro you have to overclock it to the maximum amount that you can get that CPU because every small bit makes a big difference in rendered time because 40 seconds is a lot for a for a you know five-minute render of something now again the graph is very linear in that there is pretty much a 2 minute difference between each CPU step and I think that can kind of bring me to a conclusion that I can fetch from whether or not if you have risin 5 should you upgrade to a rise in 7 CPU and I honestly think at this point don't because well the new version of Rison is coming out just around the corner and there supposedly going to be clocking about 400 megahertz higher and if you know from this test it's clear that a small overclock a small kind of clock increase makes a really big difference when it comes to Premiere Pro so don't go from Horizon five to Horizon seven if you have however horizon 3 maybe it's worth it to go to even horizon 7 because I think that a 10-minute render time on a four and a half minute video that's 1080p isn't really acceptable the weight becomes really long and the test became a bit infuriating because initially it was like wow these renders are going by really quickly and then you get to their kind of simulated like rising three CPU with no simultaneous multithreading on it and it just takes forever so yes going from rising three to even rise in five horizon 7 is the worthwhile upgrade but if you have something like a 1600 X for example that clark's fairly comfortably to 4 gigahertz stick with it if you feel that you have to upgrade upgrade maybe to the next generation of Verizon or even the generation of Rison after that because I think you'll be fine for the time being and with that it brings me to the end of the video thank you very much for watching if you did like the video do like and subscribe to the channel if you haven't already maybe have a look around and see if there are some other videos that maybe tickle your fancy anyway thank you very much for watching goodbyethe risin lineup of CPUs are comparatively very powerful
