Specs for Minimal levels of performance in Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Most software developers publish system requirements, and while they're accurate, they can be difficult to interpret; not everyone's comfortable with the jargon employed and older components are often referred to long after they've left the market.

Here are current specs for pre-built machines capable of handling Adobe Premiere Pro CC.

	for Minimal performances
Components	Minimum	Typical
Processor (a.k.a. CPU)	AMD A12-9800 or better AMD Ryzen 5 3500U Intel Core i5-7300HQ AMD Ryzen 5 3550H	Intel Core i5-8300H Intel Core i5-9400 Intel Core i7-8700T Intel Core i5-8400	Alternative CPU Options
Video Card (a.k.a. GPU	not needed AMD Radeon Vega 8 Mobile AMD Radeon R7 Graphics AMD Radeon RX 560X	Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650	Alternative GPU Options
Memory (a.k.a. RAM)	8 GB or better	8 GB

Sadly, there are also no predefined standards for performance; some developers have very high standards while others can be a bit optimistic so your mileage may vary.

Ready-to-Order Systems Meeting these Specs Prices range from ∼ US$770 to US$1239, accessories included.

The following Systems meet the minimal system requirements set by Adobe Premiere Pro CC's developers. So it should run, but you might experience slowdowns when working with larger, heavier files.

Each product below was checked recently for rebates and availability from retailers located in Canada or which at least makes importing easy.
