CPU INTEL 14900 14100F

I'm planning to get a new PC and need some advice on which CPU is better for video editing between the Intel Core i9-14900 and the i3-14100F. Any suggestions?

Both CPUs are great for different tasks, but if you're specifically looking for one that's more suitable for video editing, I would recommend the i9-14900. According to this TechReviewer article Intel Core i9-14900 vs. Intel Core i3-14100F, it has a higher core count, thread count, larger L3 cache, and better support for DDR5, all of which contribute to better overall performance in video editing tasks.

that's really helpful! It sounds like the i9-14900 is the way to go then. Can anyone tell me about their experiences with either of these CPUs?

I've used both the i9-14900 and i3-14100F for video editing, and I can confidently say that the i9-14900 offers a much smoother experience. The higher core count really makes a difference when you're working with large video files or multiple applications at once.

Yeah, I agree with @erock0138. I also found that the i9-14900's higher turbo frequencies allowed me to edit videos more quickly without having to wait for the CPU to catch up. The faster base P-Core frequency and single-core turbo boost frequencies definitely made a difference in my workflow.

That's great to hear! @MotiVEsports and @erock0138, for sharing your experiences. I'm leaning more towards getting the i9-14900 now. Do you think it'll be enough for 4K video editing?

The i9-14900 should definitely handle 4K video editing without any issues, but keep in mind that having a fast GPU and plenty of RAM will also play a significant role in your overall performance.

Thanks for the advice! I'll make sure to get a powerful GPU and enough RAM as well. Any recommendations on which GPU would pair best with the i9-14900?

It really depends on your budget and specific needs, but if you're looking for a great balance between performance and price, consider NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3060 or AMD's Radeon RX 6600 XT.

Thanks again! I'll do some research on those GPUs. I appreciate all the help!

No problem, @Snowmannz09! Good luck with your new PC build!

Same here! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
