I am not sure about the nature of this thread. You seem to be referring to the processor requirements for a computer on which Premiere Elements 13 runs and John seems to be talking about the processor support needed for the computer on which Premiere Elements is editing a specific format of Sony XAVC-S. There is a distinction between AVCHD and XAVC-S.
The Windows processor requirement under System Requirements to which John refers you is
Windows
- 2GHz or faster processor with SSE2 support; dual-core processor required for HDV or AVCHD editing and Blu-ray or AVCHD export; Intel Core i7 required for XAVC-S
And it does not get into the multi core issue, especially beyond 4 as it relates to your AMD FX6100 6 Core Processor.
I think that it would be in your best interests to download and install the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 13 and determine first hand if it is compatible with your specific computer environment and project goals.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thank you.
