R7 1700 versus R5 2600 in video editing performance
You're considering an overclock with your MSI B450M Mortar and are curious about the Ryzen 4000 series release. For video editing, the top choice would likely be the Ryzen 7 2700 or R5 3600, as they offer better performance for that workload.
If your setup has more cores than the R7 1700, I have two available. I run the 2600 with a moderate (though I opt for a strong single-core OC) and it performs better. In benchmark tests, my R7 1700 (measured in RR2 pc) outperforms the R5 3600 across all metrics.
An overclocked 1700 could potentially outperform a 3600 in multi-core performance depending on the setup and workload.
I've tested my R7 1700 at 4.1ghz and managed to outperform it against a stock R5 3600. I even surpassed the R5 2600. My R7 1700 gains around 4000 points plus speed. Since you're not a video editor, it's up to you to understand how your software uses cores. I've attached some Cine bench results; from the thread, the 2600 consistently scores around 3k. You might want to check the CPU subforum—though I'm not a tech expert, Premiere Pro performance could be compared using Cinebench.
Jesus mentions the lottery isn't stable at 3.8ghz with 1.38v. I'm doing better at 3.7ghz with 1.268xv. He's right in general—premiere tends to favor faster cores after six, though this is based on older info. Check up on core scaling for premiere and decide if adding more cores or faster ones makes sense.
I purchased one in early 2017 and another in 2019. Both OC madness. My RR1 in sig will run a 3.8ghz all-core at stock voltages, lol. I have a 600mm loop of loop for it inside a box, but haven't finished assembling it to really stress that chip (though I think the B350 board probably won’t handle the voltages). Still yes, I have two golden samples.
