Comparing Ryzen 5 3400G and Intel i5 10400/10500 highlights their strengths in performance and efficiency.
Readied a discussion about this topic in a tech forum. A user inquired about the optimal choice between 3400G and 10400/10500 GPUs for Adobe Illustrator without a GPU. Most participants recommended 3400G due to the availability of a Vega 11 integrated GPU. Since I lack specific experience with these tools, I shared my thoughts. My concerns are: which option performs better? Do the integrated Vega GPUs have any impact on video editing, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, or Premiere Pro? Can someone run all these smoothly without a dedicated GPU or an Intel UHD?
The two i5 models perform much better overall, both in terms of CPU and integrated graphics. The improvement comes from Intel's QSV technology rather than a noticeable upgrade in the Vega 11 graphics cards.
I disagree with that view. Perhaps the extra threads in the CPU improve performance for Photoshop, but the Vega 11 clearly outperforms every other UHD 630 model available recently. I've never heard anyone suggest an Intel iGPU instead of a Ryzen 3000 APU—especially since the Vega 11 is a much better choice overall.
It was explained clearly that the 10400/500 feature offers fast sync, not raw strength.
The vega IGPU is supported in some software, though its performance may vary.
CVS works well in Premiere during export, and possibly in AE as well (though I'm not certain). Illustrator and Photoshop depend mostly on the CPU, especially for single-thread tasks. Four more options with better performance would speed things up significantly—this applies to nearly all the apps mentioned. To my understanding, boosting export times with Vega graphics isn't feasible, so users will likely rely on CPU power instead.
I understand you're curious about QSV and its relevance to the scenarios discussed. It seems you're looking to explore this topic without relying on Adobe Creative Suite. Let me know how you'd like to proceed!
I'm not confident about AE, but QSV might be useful for fast exports in Premiere. Keep in mind the quality could differ from H264 based on the settings. It seems to be a solid option unless you need powerful GPU acceleration with CUDA or OpenCL, which can be slow and tricky to set up.
