To achieve this feet feat, I am rendering a Project in Davinci Resolve, while compressing two other videos with Handbrake.

I was kind of hoping for 100% GPU Utilization, but my CPU has been at 100% utilization for the last 10 min, so I think she’s toasty enough.

    My single threaded work load situation is FreeCAD, which is pretty unoptimized. That said my 13th gen Intel laptop is currently faster. Which is why if I am dropping that kind of money I’d go Intel.

    That said, as AM5 takes off, and AM4 starts to drop in price, I may go that way. Just depends on how much the CPU costs when I eventually buy it used.

      Ryzen 5000 series chips are getting really cheap. 5950 may hold a premium. But Im you could find a 5900 for nothing soon and get 2x the CPU.

        Currently my CPU is going for $75, the Ryzen 7 3700x is going for around $175 CAD, while the 5700x is $250CAD, and the 5900x is $350 CAD.

        For the price increase especially for an older platform which will be GPU limited I am having a hard time justifying a $100 price increase from ryzen 7 to 9. From 3000 to 5000 it’s easier to justify if I had the extra cash. But for a budget the 3700x is a good upgrade.
