Product Description
High performance for professional video editing
A professional video editing system with incredible performance. The i9-9940X processor has 14 physical cores and 28 threads for immense performance in Premier Pro. We don’t recommend increasing the processor beyond this point as higher models have more cores but run at lower clock speeds. Overall there is little performance to be gained from higher models.
There is a big step up in performance of the memory as we move from 64GB to 128GB RAM. This enables your system to perform better when processing high resolution footage especially if you plan to work with HDR content. It is always wise to leave plenty of memory headroom as if your system runs out of memory, performance is hit hard.
The GPU performance is superb due to the use of the dual Quadro P5000 graphics cards. Each card has 16GB of memory giving a staggering 32GB of video memory in total. This will allow even the most complex of editing streams in the highest resolution to be undertaken on the GPUs rather than the CPU which will improve performance tremendously.
