With the recent overhaul of our After Effects benchmark, we thought it was a good time to do an in-depth analysis of the current CPUs on the market to see how they compare.

Following our recent M3 Max MacBook testing, we used our benchmark database to get performance data for Mac vs. PC for content creation.
How does the new Puget Mobile 17″ compare to the top-end M3 Max MacBook Pro 16″ in performance for content creation?
Adobe After Effects can easily bring even the most powerful workstation to its knees, but how does Apple’s new Mac Pro compare to a much more affordable PC workstation?
Choosing the right hardware for your new After Effects workstation can be overwhelming with hundreds or thousands of different hardware components to choose from. In this article, we are going to be benchmarking – using our newly released Puget Systems After Effects CC Benchmark – a wide range of processors from Intel and AMD including the Intel 9th Gen, Intel X-series, AMD Ryzen 2nd Gen, and AMD Threadripper 2nd Gen CPU lines. In addition, we will be comparing them to a current Mac Pro 12 Core and iMac Pro 14 Core for those that are considering going with a Mac-based workstation rather than a PC.
