Hi all, I’m in the process of upgrading my workstation specifically for editing 4K footage in Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. My current system with an older 6-core CPU struggles with timeline scrubbing, export times, and real-time effects previews. I plan to use color grading, motion graphics, and multi-cam workflows. I also have 64 GB of RAM and an RTX 3070 GPU. I’m looking for a CPU that balances multi-core performance, thermal efficiency, and stability under sustained loads.
What CPU would you recommend for smooth 4K editing performance?
