Does video editing or After Effects work could as home use yet? Video editing, in terms of cutting and splicing clips, is not going to benefit much from this chip, but a lot of effects rendering will benefit, and basic video editing uses a lot of effects these days.

That’s all I’ve got.

Yes for roughly 8-threads or so.

16-thread Threadripper is mostly idle in my video-editing tests. I mean, its a great processor. But video editing isn't "heavy enough" for me to recommend a 16-core or bigger processor.

Ah, not surprised. I have the Intel 8-core.

The best upgrade I’ve made for my video editing workstation has been going to 4x GPUs for DaVinci Resolve.

Most plugins/filters/effects are single-threaded :-(

Yeah don’t get me wrong. They pretty much all are. But, a few key ones aren’t, depending on the host app, and aftermarket plugins have a lot of multi threading support.
