Is Ryzen 7 5700G good for video editing

I'm thinking of upgrading my computer from a i5 7500 (4C/4T), and was wondering whether to get the 5700G or 11700K as they're roughly the same price at the moment (UK).

 

I'm currently planning to go with a 5700G, but I am a little concerned about the impact of not having intel QuickSync available (I do not have a discrete GPU) vs the added performance from AMD's APU. I'm finding it difficult to research this comparsion, so I've come here.

 

My uses are:

  • Video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro (which has for a while now supported QuickSync hardware acceleration and seems to have added Hardware Acceleration for other GPU recently for rendering?) and sometimes DaVinci Resolve.
    • This is mostly dealing with 1080p timelines with "Essential Audio" applied and Lumetri Colour.
    • The footage on these 1080p timelines is generally 4K in the H.264 format
  • Occasional After Effects user (1080p primarily)
  • Programming, but mostly in Node.js so program compile performance is not really important to me
  • School work
  • Internet browsing, watching YouTube, etc (all the normal computer uses)

My concern with picking the 5700G over the 11700K is the loss of QuickSync, and I'm unsure how this will affect performance in Premiere Pro & when exporting - particularly since I can't tell if Pr supports Hardware Acceleration for the AMD APU? Finding comparsions between the 5700G, the 11700K and the impact of QuickSync online is proving difficult, though it seems like the 5700G is at least better than 10700K.

 

(NB: The 5800X would be a nice pick, but then I'd also have to spend extra on a used GPU making it too expensive. Hopefully when my friend gets a 3080 I can buy his 2060, but that's might not happen for a while so I'm assuming I won't have a discrete GPU anytime soon)

 

Which CPU should I go with? Feel free to suggest a complete alternative.

    Quicksync video rendering has always been a lower quality but for viewport performance it's fine.

     

    Overall in terms of cpu power they are basically equal but amd has the better gpu.

    More powerful older anyway. Might come down to total price if complete system.  AMD motherboards tend to be cheaper.

    Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

    Also keep in mind the 11700K has PCIE4.0 whereas the 5700G does not. May make a difference in high speed storage.

    Heard that about the 10700k.  I didn’t think the 5700g had a pcie issue because it more or less a 3700x with a vega11iGP and the 3700x can do pcie4 fine.  AMD could have removed it of course.  Gonna have to look that one up.  I am surprised.

    The 5700G is based on Zen 3 mobile parts, which are monolithic and only support PCIe Gen 3.

    https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-ryzen-7-5700g-review

     

    The 65W eight-core 16-thread Ryzen 7 5700G comes with a 3.8 GHz base and a 4.6 GHz boost clock, 16MB of L3 cache, and eight Radeon RX Vega CUs that operate at 2.0 GHz. As with all Zen 3 processors, the Ryzen 5000G chips step up from DDR4-2933 to DDR4-3200 interface, which will help boost gaming performance with the integrated GPU. Compared to the eight-core Ryzen 7 5800X, you gain the Radeon graphics engine but sacrifice 100 MHz of peak boost clocks and half the L3 cache. You also step back from 24 lanes of PCIe 4.0 support to 24 lanes of PCIe 3.0. 

     

    Half the cache, only PCIE3.0

    Ok so have been watching the replies come in, a little confused now. I understand the 5700G means giving up PCIE4, but that's not particularly important to me as I don't intend to buy a NVMe drive anytime soon, and I think PCIE3 is fine for 4K video? Or perhaps even 5 simultenous HD streams for a multicam (what I am currently working on)?

     

    Should I just go for which has a cheaper price overall? I don't want to buy the AMD and then get home and have longer exports than my i5 7500 because I lose QuickSync?

    @jaslionI am a little confused by "has always been a lower quality"? Is this in terms of the visual quality of the footage exported? Or something else?

    If you aren't going to use any NVME drives then it won't matter. You don't need it for really anything right now.

    Footage exported with the quiksync accelerated codec is of a lower quality than just a native lets say h264 encode.

    Is Ryzen 7 5700G good for editing?

    Overall, yes. It's an efficient and powerful 8-core CPU, and often available in laptops with decent RAM, fast SSDs and good GPUs.

    Which Ryzen 7 is best for video editing?

    The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU for video editing is one of the best value for money options out there. Despite having a mid-range price tag, you get a total of 8 cores and 16 threads with this CPU. In fact, you also get a total of 36 MB of cache, which is great for video editing.

    Is Ryzen 7 good enough for video editing?

    High performance for serious 4K video editing This system uses the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X which performs better in most video editing situations than the Intel i9-10900K due to the higher IPC and inclusion of 8 processor cores and 16 threads and the inclusion of a larger processor cache.

    Is AMD Ryzen 7 good for 4K video editing?

    AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is an 8 core, 16 thread unlocked desktop processor with Wraith Prism Led Cooler. It has a TDP of 65W and can deliver all raw performance. This processor has a reasonable price and is worth the amount. This processor doesn't need much robust cooling and is one of the best for video editing.
