If someone could assist me, it would mean a lot to me. I'm setting up a PC for my friend who works with stop motion and music. Right now I'm hitting the budget ceiling and have two options to choose from. For his needs, would it be better to go with a 3700x model and 64GB RAM or a 3900x with 32GB RAM? The rest of the components are already good—Noctua NH-D12, MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge motherboard, 970 EVO 500GB M.2, Seagate Barracuda 2TB, and Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 Super.
Many perspectives exist without responses. It’s unclear whether the question is simple or confusing, possibly due to misleading wording or lack of confidence from others.
This project needs a powerful processor and ample RAM. The specifics won’t be crucial for the overall success.
He currently has a system with 16GB RAM, a 4-core processor at 3.0GHz, and experiences slow performance when working in 4K resolution with multiple layers in his stop motion. The demands seem higher than what most programs recommend. The workload would be comparable to running Premiere Pro in 4K, involving many layers, filters, and effects.
It's tough to pinpoint exactly what it is, as I'm not very experienced with the software. Are you thinking of a quad-core processor like the Ryzen 3 1200 or something similar with SMT? How much RAM is it utilizing? Does the performance depend more on the number of cores than the memory size? Could you share more details about the program it's running?
