Intel i5 12600k 👉Enough for 4k Video Editing in Premiere Pro? | Timeline Performance Test

[@theTechNotice]

The Day I finished editing this video ADOBE Released another Update for PP, the 22.1.1 version. I guess we need an update video... Although I don't expect there to be BIG changes for windows users, coz most of the update was for Apple M1 devices... Stay tuned! 😉 Also Review of this chip in the editing process!

[@Kraven3D]

I bought a 12600K because of this video just for premiere pro work and I regret it. Premiere is only using the CPU's 4 efficiency cores when exporting, it's not using the other 6 performance cores at all during export; they're parked. It's slower than my 7600K. I regret my decision and following this channel's advice. The CPU runs all 10 cores in other software. Premiere Pro does NOT like hybrid architecture. (also running a 3060 and 32GB ddr5 memory, so lack of GPU or RAM is not the issue.)

[@theTechNotice]

Are you using media encoder or premiere pro for exporting?

[@Kraven3D]

@@theTechNotice Premiere Pro, I believe. I just click on file, then export, I don't send anything to the encoder. After posting this comment, I downloaded a few free programs that disable the E cores and "parking" on my 12600k for specific programs, and it improved export times 5-6x. Premiere Pro is now only running on the 6 P cores, however, but I haven't seen any playback issues so far. So this definitely appears to be an issue with the way Windows schedules programs to run on hybrid architecture. My videos now export 500% faster on 6 cores than they do 10! In any case, would the media encoder speed things up? I've never tried it before and have always just used file and export in Premiere Pro. Might make for a good video if you haven't covered it yet, as well as the issue with scheduling. Thanks for replying, most big KZbinrs don't bother! Subbed for that reason.

[@archowdhury1458]

​@@Kraven3D Can u pls tell What is the video resolution & length and how much time it took to export after disabling E cores.

[@kevins.6512]

Exactly. I bought a 12700k and it is unopened. I could replace it with a 12600k if this is enough. But watching this video I don't know if 12600k is good enough because of what you said. Even when he plays h265 the RTX 3090 plays an important role. So it would be interesting to do the same test but with a 3050 or without any dGPU.

[@koningslakkie2498]

Hey Tech Notice, I like your video's. I was wondering if you could do these tests but without a dGPU. Because with the current GPU prizes, People like me want to start edit video's temporarily without a dGPU and only using the integrated iGPU UHD 770 on the new alderlake CPU's. I have a DJI Air2S and I want to make some short instagram Reels, with the current setup i can not edit the colors in real time, it takes a second to see the slider updates. Maybe do a Ryzen Vega vs Intel UHD 770 Cheers!

[@mustafasaleem7468]

That really begs the question that is Intel i5 12600k really enough or you need an RTX to. P.S ( misleading video title)

[@iconicon3108]

Thank you for the review. How good is the 12400F 12th gen

I'm looking forward to upgrade my system based on this chip. Kindly want to hear your opinion. Is ddr4 enough for it and what do you think about UHD770? Despite that, love 12600k already.

[@derekguo1664]

DDR4 is enough if you are on a budget, UHD770 is good only for casual non-power users. Despite the advancements in iGPUs, it's still quite weak in 2022.

[@MMillerPCs]

So your GPU encoder is doing most of the work??

[@TJ-ev5uw]

The real showdown I'm waiting for is between the i5, i7, i9 - H/HK Alder lake mobile processor series Vs M1 pro/max. A PC is hardly portable.

[@FantabMedia]

There are plenty of tests on the Puget website with the newer 12900k/3080/3090 systems and the latest version of Premiere. The M1 has literally double the live playback score of these systems and that's including CPU limited codecs where the 12900k will win. So for HEVC/h.264, the M1 just kills Alder Lake.

[@FantabMedia]

Oh and they are full desktop systems consuming hundreds of watts of power.

[@TJ-ev5uw]

​@@FantabMedia I specifically said mobile chip/processors. I'd love to see how an i9-12900H or HK series paired with a RTX 3080/3090 will perform against M1 max. There is no doubt that their desktop series will do the job exceptionally well. Like I said a PC is hardly portable. H.264 is not the hardest codec out there, but H.265. For eg. The canon R5 4K 10-bit RAW H.265 file is one such that is hard to crack.

[@FantabMedia]

@@TJ-ev5uw Hi TJ wasn't trying to confuse things just pointing out that the M1 is already much more powerful at live playback than the desktop 12900k/3080/3090 combo (as I said double the live playback score on the Puget benchmark) so will be even better against a mobile part. It really depends on what you're doing I guess. Premiere has always tended to be better optimised for x86 and Alder Lake mobile will probably be faster for other things. For live playback without proxies though, the M1 is just fantastic and I have zero regrets.

[@TJ-ev5uw]

​@@FantabMedia No worries. Some reviewers are all praises for the new alder lake series and are highly optimistic about it beating the new M1's. I'm also curious to see if it is all hype or whether it will live up to its expectations. I'd be interested in the real software testing than the cinebench or other synthetic benchmarks. Thanks for sharing your M1 experience. Some apps utilizing the raw power of M1 with just battery proves the M1's performance. Not quite sure how long would it take for an Intel or AMD to belong that clan.

[@sfabx]

Hi, very good video. So do you think the 12600KF is inferior in video editing?

You won't get a stock cooler with the k CPUs only the non k versions will get stock cooler, but even if you have a stock cooler you shouldn't use it with these CPUs, you can get a decent CPU cooler for few extra bucks.

If you've already got the 'ultimate PC' then go for it, don't send the parts back. The x570 ( And AMD) platform has a benefit of being more stable and it's still better at rendering so no losses there, just if you hadn't made a choice yet and we're on a budget and you're video editor, then the 12600k makes a lot of sense :)

I know the OP doesnt reply at all. So do any of you here observe that all the tests were mostly handled by CPU and IGPU.....the DGPU featured very little in contribution. So if i get this processor and work with just the IGPU (till graphics cards come down in price) will this give similar results as shown in the video and be able to handle all 4K workloads on PrePro for short format video production of 3-4 minute videos. The timeline is usually 2 video layers and 3 AFX layers +5 vfx or titling layers.
