AMD Threadripper still owns the content creation space
Puget Systems has published a detailed content creation review of the Intel Xeon W-3500 series. The company’s latest workstation processors are an update of the W-3400 series, offering increased core counts and cache but maintaining the core architecture. This new chips aim to address Intel’s lagging performance in the high-end desktop (HEDT) content creation space compared to AMD’s Threadripper series.
Puget Systems had a full retail sample of the high-end Xeon w9-3595X but used pre-production samples for other models, meaning real-world performance might vary slightly. For consistency, benchmarking used standardized setups, ensuring RAM speed and cooling factors were controlled.
In Adobe After Effects, an application benefiting from multicore CPUs, Intel’s processors showed some performance improvements, although AMD’s Threadripper held the lead.
