Just gotta say .. nMP and Premiere CC awesome

[mintakax]

I've been doing some video editing today on the nMP and the experience with Premiere CC, as opposed to how it was with my 3.1 MP (SSDs all around), is night and day ! My nMP is 8C/32gB/1TB/D700s

Also Davinci Resolve is a lot quicker and smoother. Premiere is actual real time scrubbing with warp stabilizer !
At some point I am going to give FCP a try.

Thanks for that! I've been waiting to see how Premiere is. Do you suspect the 6 core would be almost as snappy? I can't afford the 8 core, but the six core would be doable.

My bet is YES ! I feel like I have plenty of unused computing power just doing 1080p stuff. I'll bet the 6C is just as fast.

I don't really understand the CPU usage screen on the Mavericks Activity Monitor, because mine shows 16 segments. My 8 core on Lion showed 8. At any rate, when I do a typical H.264 , 1080p 60fps ,no effects render on Premiere CC, the activity monitor reads something like 1,200 for the %CPU with 106 threads. The 16 segments of the CPU usage screen are on average 80-90% filled.

If anyone can tell me what this means I would appreciate it !

You're seeing 16 sections because of Hyper-threading.

Thanks, I thought it was something like that. So why didn't the Activity Monitor in Lion on my old 8 c MP (3.1) show 16 threads. Did those processors not have hyper threading ?

The 2009s and newer have two virtual cores per real core. It's HyperThreading.

Yes, if you don't see 2x no. of thread to cores. Then your old 8C MP doesn't support HyperThreading
