Also my university has some pretty obsolete hardware, 8-year old hexa-core Xeon&#8217;s with the typical low clock speeds and slow RAM that older CPU&#8217;s were limited to.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>For the two CPU options, I was looking at two options, the new Ryzen 7 4800h, a new 8c\/16t CPU from AMD with decent clock speeds (4.2 GHz single core turbo and 3.8 all core), and the Core i7-10750h, a new 6c\/12t Intel&nbsp; with serious clock speeds (5GHz single core and 4.3GHz all-core).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I read on a few fora that engineering software is mostly optimised for Intel systems due to their historic dominance in the market but I don&#8217;t want to base a $1300 decision on a random post on Tom&#8217;s Hardware Forums. ANSYS, ASPEN and AutoCAD are going to be the main software I will use and I am not sure whether this is true for them.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth pointing out that the ryzen 7 beats the intel at multicore workloads by over 50%, and has 70% delta&#8217;s in a few benchmarks. But i don&#8217;t think a video render benchmark is entirely relevant to engineering.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In case they&#8217;re relevant, the other specs I will go with are a Gefore RTX 2060 GPU (or 2070 if i find a decent sale), 16 or 32GB RAM (not sure whether I need the extra RAM for engineering, 16gb is overkill for my other needs anyway) and a 1TB m.2 NVMe SSD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-45574","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["17756"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["3070"],"_bbp_subscription":["253132"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["45574"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["25","179017"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["119508"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["119508"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2020-06-30 01:04:47"]},"test":"tomatopotato"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/45574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/45574\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
