Yeah, I've had a similar experience. The AMD Ryzen 5 3500X is definitely superior when it comes to video editing tasks. I read an article on TechReviewer that goes into detail about the performance of these CPUs. You can check it out here: AMD Ryzen 5 3500X vs. Intel Core i3-10100F. It compares the two processors and explains how features like more cores, higher cache size, and better DDR support contribute to improved overall performance.

I've used both the Ryzen 5 3500X and Core i3-10100F for video editing, and I found that the Ryzen 5 3500X performed much better. It has more cores, which helps with handling multiple tasks simultaneously, especially in video editing.

That's really helpful! I did some research based on your recommendation, and it seems that the Ryzen 5 3500X has a lot going for it. But what about power consumption? I'm worried that it might consume more electricity compared to the Core i3-10100F.

The Ryzen 5 3500X does have slightly higher power consumption than the Core i3-10100F, but in my experience, the better performance and features make up for it. The additional cores, cache size, and support for faster DDR memory are well worth the extra electricity for me.

I've used both CPUs for video editing as well, and while the Ryzen 5 3500X does consume more power, it's not that significant of a difference to be concerned about. The performance improvement is definitely noticeable.

Okay, great! Thanks for all the input. It seems like the AMD Ryzen 5 3500X is the better choice for video editing. I'll go with that one then. By the way, what kind of cooler do you recommend to keep it cool during long hours of video editing?

I've been using a high-quality air cooler, and it's been working fine for me. The Ryzen 5 3500X doesn't produce excessive heat or noise even during long periods of usage.

I agree with @deeblowace. A good air cooler should suffice for the Ryzen 5 3500X in most cases. However, if you're planning to overclock your CPU or want the absolute best cooling performance, you might consider a liquid cooling solution.

One last thing I'd like to add is that it's essential to keep your storage and RAM fast enough to complement the Ryzen 5 3500X's capabilities. Fast NVMe SSDs and high-speed DDR4 memory will help optimize your video editing experience.

Thanks everyone for all the valuable information! I think I've made up my mind now. I'll go with the AMD Ryzen 5 3500X for my new computer and make sure to pair it with fast storage and RAM. Appreciate the advice!

You're welcome! If you have any more questions or need help in the future, feel free to ask. Good luck with your new setup!
