AMD A10-5800K APU is good for designer?

[nhatthinh]

I have intended to buy a "AMD A10-5800K APU" to use for my job. I often use some software such as: Auto cad, 3DMark, photoshop, etc. So, "AMD A10-5800K APU" is suitable for my job? If AMD is not good, Core i3-3225 is a better solution?

Thanks

The a10 is defenatly more suitable for the job then the i3.

It will depend on what models you use in AutoCAD. If you use large assemblies or parts with lots of features then it might start to struggle with either of those.

Its better than the i3 at those tasks but if your job depends on it and time is important, I highly suggest a much more powerful CPU (like the 8350). Its not a bad idea to spend a couple hundred dollars more on a computer if it helps you get the job done much quicker (earning you much more money).

I agree with this. If its what earns you your money, get the best you can afford.
