So what is not working for you now? Processor alone is not enough to speed up the program or your files if the rest of the system is inadequate too.

Hello,

 

at work we have:

i7-8700, 16GB 2660MHZ RAM, 512GB SSD, Quadro P1000 and WIN10 64bit.

We use these maschines for 2D drawings mostly Building Floor Plants. 

Thanks to Corona, I've recently had to work from home. And there I have:

Ryzen 5 2600x, 16GB 3200MHZ, 512GB SSD, RX 5700 XT and also WIN10 64bit.

 

The Ryzen system runs much smoother, even though it is actually a gaming computer and no workstation. While switching between drawings and layouts I have microstuttering at pan&zoom, overall longer loading times and mouse-lag after switching back from layout to modell with the i7 but not with the Ryzen. Working with larger Files is finally fun again. 

I am now annoyed that I had given our admin the buy-recommendation for the i7 CPUs. On paper, the i7 8700 outperforms the 2600x by 12% in total performance, which is strange. Practice speaks a different language.

 

E: I forgot to mention that it is very important for Ryzen CPUs that your RAM is set to the correct MHZ in BIOS. But not via the XMP-Profile. Set it manually to the correct MHZ. XMP Profile causes crashes. I had to learn it the hard way. 

Work: i7-9700, 16GB 2660MHZ RAM, 512GB NVMe, Quadro P1000 and WIN10 64bit, AutoCad 2021 + Athena 2019

Home: Ryzen 7 3800x, 16GB 3200MHZ, 512GB SSD, RX 5700 XT, WIN10 64bit, AutoCad 2021 + Athena 2019

So long and thanks for all the fish

Unless you're doing renderings, single-core performance is what you'll be looking at.  On "paper" at least, Intel leads handily.  But there are other factors like drivers and software compatibility that could alter real-world performance with AutoCAD.  Other system differences, such as motherboard, SSD, RAM, and graphics card can also make a difference on overall performance in AutoCAD.


Work:  AutoCAD 2022.1.3, Windows 10 Pro v22H2 64-bit, Intel Core i7-8700K, 32GB RAM, Samsung 960 Pro SSD, AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100, 3 Dell Monitors (3840x2160)

We have been building AutoCAD boxes for almost 30 years.  In those early DOS AutoCAD on Windows W4WGs boxes days, what we found had the biggest impact was using a custom boot menu w/ different config.sys / autoexec.bat files for CAD (w/ Hurricane Software memory expansion utility), and others for general Windows usage and Gaming.   Fast storage was also important ... today not really a significant factor in everyday 2D / 3D AutoCAD

 

While more cores and Quadro / Fire GL cards are well suited and worth the much larger investment for rendering, folks in the pandemic era working from home are oft realizing their home gaming boxes are often faster, it's not generally the CPU that is responsible.   I'm just shake my head when I go into a large engineering / architectural office and talk to CAD operators, they have dozens of Dell PCs with lotsa cores and Quadros / Fire GLs that are ill suited to AutoCAD 2D / 3D drafting considering the huge price premium.  These boxes are purchased in bulk by the finance department who request proposals from salesman who have a vested interest in selling more expensive componentry. It doesn't help that Autodesk only certifies workstation cards.  But AutoCAD is essentially a single threaded application, with only minor tasks offloaded.  Run AutoCAD benchmark on  Intel i7 or even an i5 and it consistently beats  AMD CPUs with many more cores.   Same with a Nvidia ... the GTX / RTX cards have always been a better value than Quadro / Fire GL.  Not saying that the most expensive Quadro won't beat the most expensive GTX / RTX .. Im saying the professional card might beat the 50% as expensive gaming card by 1% if that.  Here's an old test from 2012:

 

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-workstation-graphics-card,3493-4.html


I have not seen anything since which showed anything different.   Of course when we talk Solid Works, thats the purview of the pro cards.  We have had folks ask for Titans when the primary usage was 2D / 3D cad with occasional rendering needs.   Not enough experience to form a hard opinion but the users reported that the cards performed better than they had hoped.

I worked both on Intel Core-I series and AMD Ryzen series for years

how many machine I have met all Intel Inside takes advantage in Faster Responding than AMD Ryzen

But in other way  Ryzen got more workload to be handled 

 

Recently I have to do daily CAD work on Laptop and PC alternatively with PC-RYZEN R9 5950X and Laptop Intel Core I5-11300H for weeks.
Surprisingly, I Feel Intel Core I5-11300H takes much more faster in loading and responding.

 

Weird thing : It's R9 vs I5  .... haha

There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on individual preferences and needs. Some people may find that Intel processors offer better performance for AutoCAD, while others may prefer AMD processors. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide which brand they prefer.
