I realize everyone gets excited about new hardware (including me), but I feel a duty to warn that going from a laptop to a Ryzen 9 will most likely not produce an 11x improvement in export times. I think it’s only fair to make sure that expectations are well-informed before people spend major cash for hardware that can’t fulfill its promise.
The issue is that the code in Shotcut is not written to be multi-threaded enough to take advantage of every processor available. It doesn’t matter that a Ryzen 9 has 32 logical cores if the Shotcut code is only addressing 8 of them. Hardware selection has lots of nuances and they are detailed in the post linked below. This post is simply an attempt to increase buyer awareness before any expensive purchases are made.
