Which would be the better processor IF you are doing rendering on the cloud and are LEARNING Revit/CAD/VideoEditing?
Why do people say that a Pentium's not suitable given that it has comparable SINGLE THREAD performance to the 4-core AMD.
Historically AMD has always been an inferior solution to Intel as far as CPU COMPUTE was concerned - yes the gfx on the APU is much better but it still only rivals a 1030GTX.
Price wise, factoring in OC+DDR4-3200 for AMD and a 1030GTX+DDR4-2400 for Intel, the price works out to the same for both builds. AMD has a 10-45-100% CPU benchmark advantage (Blender gives 100% but everything else z-zip etc is in the 10-30-45% range)
Intel offers comparable single thread and better graphics IF YOU put in a GT1030 card.
My idea was to buy Intel/Pentium+HT (practically an i3) and provide rendering once the person has picked up some skills. Is this sensible or totally stupid? I know the 2200G is awesome etc etc but it's +7K on the graphics - which can be bought later, additionally I can use just some slow 4GB DDR4 RAM vs more expensive 3200RAM
