Hi guys i am looking for advice on buying a new prebuilt laptop. The intended use is for Xilinx's Vivado software. The problem is that there are no benchmarks to turn to, hence I thought I'd ask you guys here for an advice. Xilinx only provides the minimum required memory for specific FPGA build/project. From my observations and what I could gather from some relative old posts on the internet here are the main points: CPU clock is important since 90% of the time software uses only 1 core. Hence the need of fast CPU clock. Otherwise this particular software can utilize up to 8 cores. Fast RAM (DDR4), since this software is memory hungry Minimum requirements for RAM is 32GB. Maximum budget for the laptop is in the range of $2000. Now my dilemma is to go with an intel that can clock up to 5.3 GHz or use a ryzen with a slower clock? Can a ryzen over perform an intel even with slower clock? Is the clocks frequency still as important in CPU performance as it was? Which configuration/laptop/mobile workstation would you suggest?
