5600G for AutoCAD and SketchUp?

hyper12347 · February 21

Budget (including currency): 400 eur

Country: Latvia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AutoCAD, SketchUp

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

I am planing to build a PC based on the AMD 5600G, with the idea of making it ultra upgradeable. When it is necessary, adding a dedicated GPU is totally an option, and after years, a used 5800X would be a very cheap way of adding some more CPU power. I do not have that much experience with these programs, does this sound good?

Yes;

AutoCAD does not heavily use a GPU for any of it's processes other than outputting the resulting images (your UI) so the main thing is AutoCAD (SketchUp as well) have a high IPC, high speed single core requirement. More cores dont help unfortunately.

Multi-Core Processors - SketchUp will run on multiple-processor machines; however, SketchUp will only use one processor. SketchUp doesn't support hyper-threading or multi-threading at this time.
