Fitting this particular budget to build a fully-fledged 4K video editing PC could be an exceptional challenge even for a highly experienced professional PC builder, but it seems that Max Yuryev managed to figure it out by putting together another best-bang-for-the-buck video editing workstation ready to make a huge splash in the community once again.
But if you’re already wondering just like me how this could be even possible, you should definitely check out Max’s recent video below that showcases the out of this world capabilities of the amazing AMD RYZEN 4K video editing PC that not only stacks up against his previous Intel’s custom built machine but even manages to deliver a better performance for a fraction of the cost. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, let’s find out what are the “secret ingredients” Max Yuryev used this time.

In fact, this workstation wouldn’t even exist only a few weeks ago, or at least not before AMD had released their latest Ryzen 7 eight-core CPU. In a nutshell, it’s the latest generation AMD processor that boasts eight cores with sixteen threads in an AM4 socket and has 16MB of L3 cache memory along with base clock speed of 3.4 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.8 GHz. Unsurprisingly, these parameters make it just about as powerful as its Intel’s counterpart the eight-core i7 K6900 processor.
That said, it’s staggering that you can currently get the same premium performance of this top-spec Intel processor for less than two-thirds of its price. As Max points out, with a processor priced at just $399 it’s no wonder that you can easily fit in the budget of $998 and build a fully-functional 4K video editing machine for less money than the Intel’s CPU alone.
