Which PC Works Best for After Effects?
Adobe After Effects runs best on a PC with a fast multi-core processor, enough RAM for large compositions, and a fast SSD for media and cache files. The Thinvent range includes several systems that match these needs, from compact Mini PCs to industrial units. The most capable options use 12th Gen Intel Core i5 and i7 processors with 16 GB or 32 GB of DDR4 RAM and 512 GB or 1 TB of SSD storage.
Key Specifications for After Effects
After Effects processes frames across several CPU cores, so core count and clock speed affect render and preview times. The Thinvent Aero Mini PC with the Intel Core i5-120U has 10 cores, up to 5.0 GHz and 12 MB of cache. The Thinvent Industrial PC IPC5 with the Intel Core i7-1255U has 10 cores, up to 4.7 GHz and 12 MB of cache, with 32 GB of RAM in its 1 TB configuration. Memory matters as much as the processor: 16 GB suits smaller projects, while 32 GB gives more room for complex compositions, effects and previews.
