Novatech video workstations

What makes a Video workstation?

• CPU Video editing is an area that still relies on CPU power to produce efficient workflows, a lot of processes in many video editing packages are now accelerated by GPUs but not all of them by any means. This means that a CPU with a high core count and healthy clock speed is important and many top of the line workstations use server grade CPUs or specific workstation grade processors such as Intel's Xeon-W or AMDs Threadripper dies.
• GPU In most video editing software, GPUs are less important than they are in most creative build workflows such as animation or CAD. There are exceptions to this rule (notably DaVinci), but as a rule CPUs core count tends to be a higher determiner of performance in the space than anything else.
  
  This is until you start applying effects and postprocessing to your work. These sort of workloads do require hefty, professional grade GPU acceleration to perform on time.
• Storage Storage is highly important in video editing workstations. The loading of footage from source files, writing to project files and handling previews are all extremely i/o intensive processes. meaning that the faster the drives the faster the workflow.
