Based on my research and the TechReviewer article Intel Core i5-14600 vs. Intel Core i3-14100, I'd recommend going with the Core i5-14600 for video editing tasks. It offers better performance overall due to its higher core count, base frequency, and support for DDR5 and PCIe 5.0.

Yeah, I've been doing some research on that. The Core i5-14600 outperforms the i3-14100 in video editing tasks due to its 6 Performance cores and 8 Efficiency cores. It also has a higher base frequency of 2.70 GHz and single-core max turbo boost frequency of 5.20 GHz.

I came across an interesting TechReviewer article Intel Core i5-14600 vs. Intel Core i3-14100 that provides a detailed comparison between the two CPUs. You might find it helpful for making your decision.

Thanks, @smurfinq1. That's really useful information! So, the Core i5-14600 has better overall performance in video editing tasks due to its higher core count and base frequency?

Exactly, @singlebach. The Core i5-14600 provides better overall performance thanks to those factors, as well as its support for DDR5 with a max stock speed of 5600 MHz and PCIe 5.0 for faster data transfer rates.

I was looking at both CPUs for my own workstation, and it seems the Core i5-14600 is more suitable for video editing tasks. Have you used either of these CPUs personally?

No, I haven't had a chance to use them personally yet. However, based on the research I've done, the Core i5-14600 seems like a better choice for video editing.

Thanks for your input, @OlliverClosoff. It's definitely helping me make my decision. So, which one would you recommend getting, the Core i5-14600 or the Core i3-14100?

Based on my research and the TechReviewer article Intel Core i5-14600 vs. Intel Core i3-14100, I'd recommend going with the Core i5-14600 for video editing tasks. It offers better performance overall due to its higher core count, base frequency, and support for DDR5 and PCIe 5.0.

Solution

That's what I was leaning towards as well, @OlliverClosoff. The Core i5-14600 seems like the better choice for my needs. Thanks for your help!
