Hi all,
Looking at new system hardware - particularly given the new affordability of high-core-count CPUs thanks to the likes of Threadripper - I was wondering if money was best spent on setups with faster clock speed or higher core counts?
I know that some of the answer will be "it depends"

but I wondered if that meant there was room for some sort of benchmark for Resolve?
Perhaps a couple projects with differing media, render times for both, can the timeline be played back in real-time? (and if not, what was the average fps), and so on...
Basically - does Resolve scale laterally enough to make investment in something like a 12c/24t processor worth it over something like a 6c/12t processor that will probably run at higher clocks?
Would you like there to be a 'benchmark mode' in Resolve to automate this?
Interested in feedback on this and any information related to other editing software too
