Stay up to date with the latest desktop PC hardware—CPUs, RAM, storage solutions, and GPUs—all broken down in one comprehensive resource.
With 2024 wrapped up, we want to take the opportunity to call out specific brands and models that had exceptional reliability over the last year.
With 2024 at a close, we wanted to look back at the sales trends we saw for CPUs, GPUs, storage, RAM and operating systems.
Premiere Pro supports hardware-based decoding for H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) which can significantly improve performance with these codecs, but not all “flavors” of these codecs are supported depending on the bit depth and chroma subsampling used. In addition, support can change depending on the capability of the hardware in your system. In order to determine exactly what is supported, we decided to do our own testing to see exactly what types of H.264/5 media has hardware decoding support in Premiere Pro.
Davinci Resolve Studio supports hardware-based decoding for H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) which can significantly improve performance with these codecs, but not all “flavors” of these codecs are supported depending on the bit depth and chroma subsampling used. In addition, support can change depending on the capability of the hardware in your system. In order to determine exactly what is supported, we decided to do our own testing to see exactly what types of H.264/5 media has hardware decoding support in DaVinci Resolve Studio.
Following our recent M3 Max MacBook testing, we used our benchmark database to get performance data for Mac vs. PC for content creation.
The Puget Mobile 17″ is a mobile workstation. How does it’s battery life and emmisions compare to an Apple M3 Max?
How does the new Puget Mobile 17″ compare to the top-end M3 Max MacBook Pro 16″ in performance for content creation?
With the launch of the new Puget Systems 17″ laptop, there are a lot of performance questions we want to address. Today, we will be examining the performance of this new mobile workstation compared to a more traditional desktop.
