Depends on your footage, but probably yes.

Yes, if you’re working with complex timelines, heavy effects, or multicam. No, if you’re just doing cuts and basic transitions on H.264.

32GB is fine for most 4K editing in Premiere Pro. But once you start stacking Lumetri color, noise reduction, or using lots of tracks, Premiere will eat through that quickly. 64GB gives you room to breathe – less swapping to disk, smoother scrubbing, faster renders.

The 12th gen Intel helps, but RAM is often the bottleneck in Premiere, not the CPU. If you’ve already got a fast NVMe drive and a decent GPU, RAM is the next place to spend.

If you’re a pro who bills by the hour, get 64GB. If you’re editing a short film on weekends, 32GB is still fine. Save the money for something else.
