After Effects CPU Roundup

Overall, the new AMD Ryzen CPUs perform neck-in-neck with the Intel 9th Gen CPUs in traditional After Effects workflows. The Intel 9900K continues to hold the performance crown by a slim margin (especially for RAM Preview performance), but AMD has a slight lead at the Ryzen 5 and 7 price-points. If you use multithread plugins or scripts like BG Renderer Max or RenderGarden, however, Intel take a pretty significant lead over AMD at the top-end, but it continues to very close at the mid/low-end. In the real world, the extra performance during RAM Preview with the Intel Core i9 9900K will likely be noticeable, but if you are looking for a CPU at a slightly lower price point, it is going to be really hard to tell the difference between a system with an Intel 9th Gen CPU and one with an AMD Ryzen 3rd generation CPU. Because of this, many users are going to want to consider other factors beyond just price and performance. While there are many more factors that go into your choice of platform, here are a few other considerations to keep in mind.

Photoshop CPU Roundup

Overall, the new AMD Ryzen CPUs are a great choice for a Photoshop workstation. There may not be much of a reason to go with the more expensive Ryzen 9 3900X over the Ryzen 7 3800X, but the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 CPUs should be slightly faster than the similarly prices Intel equivalents. However, the performance advantage over Intel is really only a handful of percent which is going to be almost impossible to notice in the real world. While the AMD CPUs are slightly faster or more affordable than Intel, oddly enough that may not be enough of a reason to go with team red (AMD) over team blue (Intel) for everyone. There are many more factors that go into your choice of platform than just benchmark performance - especially when the results are as close as these are. Many consumers may make the choice based simply on which company they want to support (which is a perfectly valid reason), there are a few other considerations to keep in mind.
