I am building a machine with an Intel i9-7980XE cpu, and would like recommendations for 2K/4K editing packages which make the best use of many cores/threads to cut compile time.
It will be a few weeks before the box is operational. It will have NVMe ssd's and a 1080ti. I have two 1080p monitors and one 4K 32" at the moment.

So far, I have been using a cheap and simple editor which is single thread and quite slow. I'm not familiar with professional editing packages, except a little with Pinnacle. I asked Corel about it, and they could only say it uses all four cores of their lab machine.

Thanks for any suggestions.

VIdeo rendering software don't tend to scale well past 8 threads. But also depends on codec, resolution and software.

This will give you a rough idea https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/a...Intel-Core-i7-7700K-i5-7600K-Performance-884/

Thanks lexer. I read more on preferred packages for editing and decided to use a 7940x, as it seemed to be the speediest with available s/w like Premier. This makes sense since well less than 14 cores/28 threads seem to be used, and since it has a higher base clock than the 20x, 60x or 80xe.

Yes i will be a better value for that application. If you are planing running that chip with MCE enabled (all cores @ 4.3Ghz) you need VERY good cooling. Consider at least a 280mm AIO.
