Intel Dual P4 vs. AMD Dual Core Dual Processor the same in AE?
I had an AE project (color treatment of 20 minute video) that was taking about 2 hours to render on my Dual Processor Intel 3.2 GHZ P4 Hyper-Threaded Xeon and thought I would have a co-worker with a Dual processor AMD Dual Core 2.6 GHZ box render as it should go much faster in theory. But it only shaved 15 minutes off. Why is it so minimal? Is it something about how AE processes it’s rendering?
Our shop does mostly 3D work with Max and we see major differences between the two machines in Max, but not AE. -

AE uses RAM and disk as well when processing. Also, not all effects take advantage of hyperthreading, if I recall.
Did you Google “after effects”, “benchmarks” and “amd”?

Thanks for the response. I am not really disappointed with the amount of time it took to render the with the Intel Dual P4, just surprised that the AMD Dual Core Dual Processer box was a mere 15 minutes faster. Anyway, I was just trying to understand what hardware improves AE speed. Thanks!
