Many plugins and apps I use don't really work with GPU/Hardware acceleration when it comes to rendering, same applies to encoding in different codecs. I'd know, because I've been unfortunately doing this shit for nearly 20 years and building my workstations (definitely not ARM, screw your downvotes and love for it) around it.

Pretty much every serious studio out there uses either EPYC or Xeon and to me it seems ridiculous that apparently majority here doesn't see the problem with my initial argument of apple marketing these chips as God-tier and beat-them-all, when clearly, as it has been proven before, apple heavily misleads with their marketing and it's not as simple as it seems.

EDIT: And people who feel like arguing by bullshitting accusations (like the guy above about me not knowing anything) are basically how redditors argued.

    You put editing and watching YouTube under the same umbrella and then speak of using EYPIC and XEON CPUs?

    What editing software do you use?

    Video encoding and decoding is generally under the same category - video processing.

    Like, right now, or have used (pretty long list)? My favourite is still After Effects just because of how used to it I am, but I seriously do not feel like listing all the plugins and extra apps (probably any professional knows about mocha/syntheyes or nuke). That's my main, I've even learned to mostly skip premiere (still gotta use media encoder for obvious reasons). For 3d stuff and effects - Cinema 4D (FumeFX, xparticles, realflow, etc). Good enough, detective?

    That makes sense. I guess I've just not been at the level were people call it that so that is interesting.

    Doesn't take a detective to know that you know more than me. I'm at a much much smaller scale, mostly just Houdini at this point. My boss would laugh at me if I mentioned XEON for the office haha. Apologies for being so hostile.
