Video Editing on an Intel Core i7 Extreme
Video Editing, ever since it came into existence, is extremely processor intensive, memory intensive and power intensive process. And ever since the world became graphical, the use of motion pictures has seen a drastic increase in usage and production. Video Editing and Rendering, now, has become a serious business and people of this industry are in constant search of a higher performance and better efficient processor.
So is there any bleeding edge technological breakthrough in the processor technology that can satisfy the hunger of yours? Fortunately the answer is yes. Ever since Intel unveiled the Intel i7 core 965 Extreme Edition processor, it has become a dream processor for people related to multimedia industry.
Mostly in the multimedia industry are used Adobe After Effects
for Video Editing and Rendering. These two are one of the best available products in the multimedia industry that are Multi-Core and SMT aware.
If you are confused with the terms above the do not worry as the clarification is just to follow. Intel i7 Core Review undoubtedly shows that it is the fastest processor till date on earth. This processor is not for people who chat occasionally, the series is targeted to processor intensive audience.
Adobe Premiere Pro Benchmark Results
Before the New Monster was introduced in the Industry, the throne of the best processor that your money can buy belonged to Intel Core 2 Quad QX9770. But this is not the case anymore. We were highly impressed with the Intel i7 Core 965 EE with the test that we performed with Adobe Premiere Pro.
The Video file that we used for Rendering took an almost 28 seconds to complete for the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650. This task was completed by the Intel i7 Core 965 EE within 22 seconds and that impressed us, and will probably impress you too is that when i7 core is over-clocked with the unlocked multiplier (24 max.), the same file was rendered in just little close to 18 seconds. This shows a performance boost of 55% i.e. the processor was faster by 1.5 times than the “then” fastest Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650.
Adobe After Effects Benchmark Results
This smart piece of Industry Standard software is known to heavily depend on the CPU clock speed and its memory bandwidth. So this is definitely going to make you happy if you are a user of Premiere Pro. Intel i7 core houses the memory controller on the die itself and has replaced the Old Fashioned FSB with a new generation QPI technology which it adopted from AMD. The data transfer speed is many times faster with this QPI technology as compared to the usual FSB technology. When the i7 core 965 EE is over-clocked at 3.88 GHz, the memory bandwidth available to the cores is a whooping 45 GB/s. That is impressive and we feel that the use of this technology in conjunction with the forgotten SMT (Simultaneous Multi-Threading) known in the times of Intel Pentium 4 Prescott edition has paid off Intel this time.
The benchmarks conducted with After Effects gave us another surprise. The video file that took 36 second to get rendered with the Core 2 Quad Q9650, took only 21 seconds with the new i7 Core 965 EE in over-clocked mode showing us a huge performance boost of 60%. This clearly knocks out the predecessor Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650.
This monster is still in its initial period and so buying a Intel i7 Core 965 EE system will burn a deep hole into your pocket. The processor is expected to be price at 1000 USD initially and the only chipset that supports i7 core is the Intel X58 which will also set you back by another 300 USD. Another thing that you need to consider before buying is that this chipset only supports the DDR3 version of RAM and it has three or six slots for you to use. The DDR3 RAM is not available at 100 USD but be sure to check that out before buying.
Whatever the case may be, but we can definitely guarantee that you will not regret the money spent on this system. It is unlikely that some another processor will steal the Throne of Fastest Processor on Earth currently possessed by Intel i7 Core 965 EE in near future. So you can safely invest your money in this system.
