Hello, me again. I'd like help in workstations. I see all of you jump to pcpartpicker whenever someone wants techsupport, but I'm just looking for general ideas or spitballing. Like whether Amd or Nvidia or Intel.

The usecase will be to try out videoediting and maybe 2d animating. There will also be unavoidable gaming on this device. I'd describe it as a hybrid gaming and workstation.

My logic instantly went to RAM and VRAM. as that should be the focus, but I don't know whether the speed or the quantity is more important. I also don't know if Amd or Nvidia is better at videoencoding.

I'd like tips like this please. NVMe for speed, hdd for capacity, or sata ssd for a mix? recommended MT/s for ram with channels? What gpu cores does premiere use? do I even need to worry about 2d animating? does the x3d modells of amd cpus any good for this usecase? do core # metter or only the GHz?

closing point; I know how to pc, but idk how to workstation pc as I only messed with highend/mid gaming pcs. Thanks for any info in advance!

Wait Intel Arc is not a complete joke? I mean I never looked into it so educate me please. What do you mean under "stellar performance"? (can I see the graph if that's your source?)

and also how much is a lot of ram? 32gb maybe 64gb or even more? While on the topic of ram what would you say the MT/s should be?

The hardware was never a joke, it's just that the drivers were pretty bad at the beginning, but they improved them to the point where it's competitive with a 3050 in gaming (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-6sHUNBxVg) and in video encoding/decoding, it matches and sometimes gets ahead of the more expensive 3060 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98KiTx4Vh7o)
