RAM will not necessarily contribute to the speed at which your machine can perform processes, but it will contribute to its capabilities in terms of the size and types of processes you can perform. Random Access Memory (RAM) is another important component of any workstation. A quad-core processor is going to be better suited for most video work and a quad-core running at 2.5GHz or faster will give you optimal performance.

Most post-production software requires a dual-core processor.
It is nowhere near as good as having multiple physical cores, but as an added feature on modern CPUs, it is helpful for multitasking and adding an additional layer of performance. This allows for the single core to split up execution resources and speed up processes. Threading, or Hyper-Threading, is a way for one physical CPU core to essentially split up resources and be seen by the operating system as two virtual cores. Four or more cores should be satisfactory for most video and effects programs. For video editors, a multi-core CPU is a must - it will be an important base for any mobile workstation. This allows for a faster system because it allows your computer to run multiple programs and tasks at once. A quad-core processor, for instance, has four processing units and is seen by the operating system as four physical cores. Multiple cores mean that one chip has multiple central processing units. CPUs with multiple cores or threads can easily outperform CPUs of one core with the same clock speed. Some computers even offer multiple CPUs within one system. Today CPUs come in many different configurations including multiple threads and cores. Early CPUs were simple one core systems that were able to run programs but did not allow for multitasking.
The CPU does all the computational and processing work within your computer. The base of any computer is the Central Processing Unit (CPU). Let’s go over those key factors so you know what to expect from your new system. Buying the best workstation for your needs means understanding how the CPU, GPU, RAM and storage options work together to enhance overall performance.
