![]() However, the single threaded boost came at the expense of multi-threaded performance. This was obviously big news for users of CAD and BIM software for whom single threaded performance really matters, and it immediately put pressure back on AMD. In other words, if a single core on a 10th Gen and 11th Gen Intel Core CPU ran at the same frequency, the 11th Gen would be 19% faster. However, the new chip family came with the promise of a massive 19% IPC performance improvement, generation on generation. This bought Intel some time, and in March 2021 the chip giant hit back with its 11th Gen Intel Core desktop processor family (code-named Rocket Lake-S).īased on its ageing 14nm manufacturing process, expectations were low. The global chip shortage meant demand massively outweighed supply and even if AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs were in stock, prices were sometimes hugely inflated. Well - it did for those who could actually get hold of one. ![]() It quickly became the processor of choice for users of CAD or BIM applications like Revit, Inventor and Solidworks, as well as CPU ray trace renderers like V-Ray and KeyShot, or those built into the CAD applications themselves. November 2022 – Check out our latest in-depth article 13th Gen Intel Core vs AMD Ryzen 7000 for CAD, BIM & beyond With more cores (16 vs 10), high clock speeds and superior Instructions Per Clock (IPC), AMD Ryzen 5000 outperformed 10th Gen Intel Core in both single threaded and multi-threaded workflows. In October 2020 AMD launched its AMD Ryzen 5000 Series, based on its 7nm ‘Zen 3’ architecture, and finally took the performance crown from Intel. One of the questions we get asked most often at AEC Magazine is ‘which processor is best for CAD or BIM?’ Normally, we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Intel Core or low core count Intel Xeon processors (after all, Intel has demonstrated a clear lead in single threaded performance for the last fifteen years) but with AMD’s recent resurgence in the CPU market, things are no longer so clear cut. Greg Corke explores the best CPUs for design-centric workflows from CAD and BIM to reality modelling and rendering ![]() With 11th Gen Intel Core and AMD Ryzen 5000, competition in workstation CPUs has never been so strong.
