Can you help me choose a CPU?
Sorry to ask, but I find it very difficult to choose amongst the current offerings. I haved tried to look up all CPUs currently available, but I find it very difficult to compare them. Could you give me a recommendation amongst the models under 1400€? Those are 7640u vs ai 5 340 vs ultra 5 125h.
Use case:
- Matlab
- CAD
- office stuff
- usually no games. Maybe ferry few times outdated games such as GTA or Minecraft.
- use with a dock: thunderbolt would be nice but 3.2 gen 2x2 is enough for me
Priorities:
- I really need the fan to be quiet when only doing office stuff. I can’t concentrate welchen there is noise.
- Long battery life under light use
- Performance with CAD and Matlab
I am unsure whether the CPU graphics cores are even used for CAD, because CAD usually requires OpenGL graphics cards, right?
I am also wondering whether the new heatink is worth omitting the 7640u. Some YouTubers tell, that the newer one is much quieter but that the 7640u has better battery performance. Or is it just a firmware update? I am unsure about that.
I initially wanted to get the F12, but the lack of performance will make me get separate devices for work and note taking. If someone wants my batch 1 spot, contact me.
