I'm building a new workstation for 4K video editing and 3D rendering, and I'm trying to decide between the latest high-core-count CPUs from AMD and Intel. I've been looking at synthetic benchmarks, but I'm finding it hard to translate those scores into real-world performance for my specific software like DaVinci Resolve and Blender. For professionals in similar fields, what are the most meaningful benchmark tests or real-world metrics you use to evaluate CPU performance for creative workloads, and how much does single-core speed versus total core count actually impact your daily rendering and editing tasks?
