In AfterEffects: 8-Core MacPro vs Ryzen 1700
3 benchmarks comparing MacPro at 3GHz against AMD Ryzen 1700, also at 3GHz in Adobe After Effects CC 2017
1) Warp stabilizer of RED 4.5K Footage (www.red.com/sample-r3d-files)
2) Ray-tracing Scene (www.teddygage.com/AEBENCHCS6/)
3) Simple Rings Template rendering (www.freeaetemplates.net/new-free-after-effects-template-for-august/)
All screen recordings played at 8X speed
Correction 1: RED footage is 4.5K instead of 6K
Correction 2: Additional GTX 1080 would not be $400 but ~$530, but it would be a slim benefit in AE
