So im building a new computer at work, the person at work does design work but then generates the tool cut path. I've done some testing on 3 computers.....
a dell running a i7-8700 with 32GB 2666MHz CL15 Samsung 2.5" ssd, takes the cut path 34min to generate. What they are using now
a custom built i7-14700kf with 64GB 6400MT/s CL32 Samsung NVMe, takes the cut path 14min to generate. Tested on one of our CAD guys computer
a custom built R7 7700x with 64GB 6000MT/s CL30 Samsung NVMe, takes the cut path 17min to generate. My computer at home.
When its generating for the first half it uses all the threads available except on the 14700kf it does not use the E-cores at all, the second half on generation only uses 1 core at a time.
I can build the same i7 computer since i already have 2 built in the company, or i was looking at the 7950x. I havent been able to test anything on it, but if my 8 core 16 thread with slower ram was only 3 min slower then a 16 core 32 thread should be able to make up ground in the first half of the generation and then loose some in the single thread portion. I would also have the option next year to upgrade the CPU where im stuck with the 14th gen cpu.
Am i just trying to talk myself into the 7950x or is the better option the i7 14700?
