![]() ![]() Though clock speed is an important factor when selecting a CPU don’t always rely on clock speed alone as its built architecture is also important.Īs an example, an older generation CPU with a higher clock speed will be outperformed by the latest-generation CPU with a lower clock speed because of the architecture which will allow the CPU to process data much more efficiently.īut if you are selecting a CPU within the same generation then always go with the higher clock speed.Īnother thing to look for in a processor is the size and type of Cache memory. This is the type of memory that stores data temporarily from your application for the CPU to process but as this memory is directly available in the CPU (and in some cases on Motherboard) it is a lot faster than RAM.Īnother thing to consider is overclocking which is the additional speed your CPU can gain to perform intensive tasks provided it is equipped with a sufficient cooling system. Not all CPUs can be overclocked, but Intel has several that can be, and you can easily identify a CPU that can be overclocked using the K or X suffix.Īs an example, the Intel i7 8700K can be overclocked whereas Intel Core I7 12800H can’t be overclocked.Īpart from that Xeon processors don’t support overclocking and all AMD Ryzen processors support overclocking. ![]() RAM or the physical memory installed in your PC dictates the number of and size of concurrent programs and datasets you can have open at any one time.Īlthough AutoCAD can work quite easily with 8Gb of RAM for simple 2D drawings as well as some 3D components, I would recommend an absolute minimum of 16 GB of RAM considering their cheaper price and for making your laptop future-proof.īut as always, more RAM will allow you to work with more programs at once and open bigger datasets. ![]()
