What AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO Means for Post Production

What AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO Means for Post Production

 

AMD says their new Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO processor is “Built for creating” and we can’t disagree. The power behind our new BOXX APEXX Everest* workstation, this new proc has some impressive benchmark credentials:

 

  • AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO can outperform two of the competition’s highest core count processors.

  • 25+ record-breaking wins

  • First 64 core pro workstation CPU

  • Leadership single and multithreaded application performance

 

With that in mind, let’s take a quick look at what this new Ryzen Threadripper Pro processor means to video editors, VFX artists, and other post-production professionals using DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Creative Cloud.

 

DaVinci Resolve Studio combines 8K editing, color correction, visual effects, and audio post-production all in one application, allowing you to instantly move between those tasks with one click. Another key advantage of DaVinci Resolve Studio is the fact that it’s built for post collaboration so editors, assistants, colorists, VFX artists and sound designers can all work simultaneously on the same project.

 

If you’re a DaVinci Resolve user, you have to be able to deliver in any format or resolution. This is often where bottlenecks develop due to underpowered workstations which struggle with 8K or real-time collaboration. However, with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO-based system like the APEXX Everest, it’s not an issue.

 

With a frequency of 4.5GHz, the Threadripper™ PRO 3995WX processor boasts up to 64 cores/128 threads, which is the highest core count available in any professional CPU. Each core also has equal access to memory, resulting in a blazing-fast architecture. For DaVinci Resolve 8K content, Threadripper™ PRO enables instant 8K playback at real-time rates.

 

The Threadripper™ PRO inside the APEXX Everest also supports PCIe 4.0, improving performance and power by allowing data to move faster to and from host to up to four NVIDIA RTX™ GPUs and Samsung SSDs.

 

Now let’s take a look at Adobe, where Threadripper™ PRO also ensures less time waiting and more time creating. The new processor accelerates Premiere Pro or After Effects video and motion graphics powered by Adobe Sensei AI, integrated workflows, and increases support for every camera, frame, and platform. With 64 processing cores, you can also expect accelerated video editing and animations, faster render previews, video encoding, and animation exporting.

 

And like the improved 8K support offered for DaVinci Resolve, Threadripper™ PRO enables real-time editing of 8K REDCODE RAW footage in Premiere Pro. When it comes to storage, PCIe® 4.0 and up to 2TB of memory means you’ll be loading those 8K files faster than ever before.

 

If you’re a post-pro who made the move to AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ a few years back, you know that processor lived up to the hype. You also know it may be time to upgrade to Threadripper™ PRO. If you never tried Threadripper in the first place, it’s time to experience what you missed—and go PRO in the process.

How AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO Boosts Architect Workflows

How AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO Boosts Architect Workflows

 
 

“The ultimate processor for architects” is how AMD refers to their new Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO. Since BOXX offers this powerful new processor inside the new BOXX APEXX Everest workstation*, let’s take a look at what this new CPU has to offer Autodesk Revit users who may also rely on professional render engines like V-Ray.

 

Since complex visualizations and large datasets (coupled with tight deadlines) are commonplace in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), these pros require a versatile processor capable of supporting key aspects of their key workflow. AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO processors fit the bill by providing high-frequency cores for your lightly threaded design and modelling tasks (like those in Revit), up to 64 cores for multithreaded rendering (like V-Ray), and eight memory channels to support the most complex projects. On top of that, Threadripper PRO processors include 128 PCIe 4.0® lanes, and support for up to 2TB of memory.

 

The AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO inside the APEXX Everest also includes AMD PRO Technologies—tools designed to help architecture firms and their IT managers address a number of challenges through stability, manageability, reliability, and flexibility.

AMD PRO Security

  • 18 months of planned software stability

  • 24 months of planned availability

  • Enterprise-grade quality assurance

  • Feature consistency across all models

AMD PRO Manageability

  • Remotely update and repair networked devices

  • Monitor, restore, and upgrade systems

  • Fix a wide range of client issues in-band and out-of-band

AMD PRO Business Ready

  • 18 months of planned software stability brings peace of mind

  • 24 months of planned availability for a stable enterprise

  • Enterprise-grade quality

  • Long term reliability

In addition to all this CPU technology, APEXX Everest is configurable with up to four professional GPUs (NVIDIA® RTX™, ® GeForce™, or AMD® Radeon Pro™) for unmatched rendering power. The best news of all for architects and engineers? When using the Threadripper PRO-based APEXX Everest, you don’t have to sacrifice productivity as you switch between designing and rendering. Of course, you don’t have to be reminded how important that is—especially regarding the aforementioned tight deadlines. Tight deadlines are what the AEC industry is all about. Fortunately, accelerating the architect workflows to meet (and beat) them is what BOXX is all about.
