CPU for android studio

[NeuraCode]

Hi,

 

I noticed my 2 core 1600mhz laptop just can not deal with Android Studio as much I would like to. So I'm waiting for the 4000 Ryzen mobile CPU's to launch.

 

My only question is, does Android studio mostly use as many cores as possible, or is it power per core? Or a combination of both? Or perhaps should I get the 16 thread laptop instead of the 8?

4 core 8 threads should be enough.

Even now, the R 3500 CPUs are decent and not too expensive, but if you can wait, the old ones will become cheaper. What is your budget ?

Thanks. My budget is €1200. The laptop is strictly for programming.

@NeuraCode You can get a R3 3500U laptop for around £300 or US $500
