CPU INTEL AMD 5600G 10400

I'm looking to get a new CPU for video editing and I'm stuck between the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and the Intel Core i5-10400. Can anyone give me some advice?

Thanks for the recommendation! I've checked out the link you provided and it seems that the Ryzen 5 5600G has a higher single-core max boost frequency, which is important for video editing. Does anyone have experience using either of these processors for video editing?

I've used both CPUs for video editing and found that the Ryzen 5 5600G performs better overall. The extra cache helps with multi-threading tasks, which are common in video editing software.

The i5-10400 is a decent CPU, but it doesn't have as much cache as the Ryzen 5 5600G. If you're doing a lot of heavy lifting in your video edits, I'd recommend going with the AMD processor. It's more suited for professional workloads.

Great advice! Thanks, @Stuffedbunny and @seifersam. So it seems like the Ryzen 5 5600G is the better choice for video editing, but what about other factors like overclocking and DDR support? Any thoughts?

As for overclocking, the Ryzen 5 5600G has support for it which can help improve performance. The i5-10400 doesn't have this feature, so you won't be able to push its performance as much. When it comes to DDR support, both CPUs offer decent speeds but the Ryzen 5 5600G has a higher max stock speed of 3200 MHz compared to the i5-10400's 2666 MHz. That could make a difference in video editing tasks.

That's helpful information, @ImpressedIndividual. I appreciate your input on the overclocking and DDR support. So it sounds like the Ryzen 5 5600G is a better overall choice for my video editing needs. Thanks everyone!

You're welcome, @RacingTowardsRed. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask! Good luck with your new CPU!
