I think I may need a CPU upgrade in the future (lemmy.world)

To achieve this ~~feet~~ feat, I am rendering a Project in Davinci Resolve, while compressing two other videos with Handbrake.

I was kind of hoping for 100% GPU Utilization, but my CPU has been at 100% utilization for the last 10 min, so I think she's toasty enough.

Ryzen 5000 series chips are getting really cheap. 5950 may hold a premium. But Im you could find a 5900 for nothing soon and get 2x the CPU.

Currently my CPU is going for $75, the Ryzen 7 3700x is going for around $175 CAD, while the 5700x is $250CAD, and the 5900x is $350 CAD.

For the price increase especially for an older platform which will be GPU limited I am having a hard time justifying a $100 price increase from ryzen 7 to 9. From 3000 to 5000 it’s easier to justify if I had the extra cash. But for a budget the 3700x is a good upgrade.
