Title: Ryzen 9 7945HX / Intel i9 14900HX vs New AI processors Ryzen AI / Intel 9 Ultra
Post by: luis.lab on 2024-07-19, 12:40:14

Hi there!

For those who understand a bit better of hardware that could give me a advise.
I am planning to update my Laptop and I am a bit undecided if it is better for Corona render, to go for an old good one ( in the benchmarks, Ryzen 9 7945hx and i9 14900hx seem the best) or wait for the new AI processors like the i9 Core Ultra or Ryzen 9 HX 370.
Maybe the Corona team can have some insight into if in a near future, it will have any advantage? :)
In Corona Benchmark is still no ranking on those, and in Cinebench they seem to be not performing so well from the rankings.

Thanks to everyone who can give me some help.
Best

AMD will be releasing new processors soon.

I switched from Intel to AMD and find them jawdropping! Never going back :-)

Hi tatarka,

Thank you for the advice, but as long as I'm aware the new AMD Zen 5 processors are only for desktops (Ryzen 9 9000X series)
For the laptop is the Ryzen Ai 9 HX 370... and this is exactly my question, seems they are not better than the old Ryzen 9 7945HX according to benchmarks.
Open for any thoughts and suggestions :)

Careful with benchmarks.  They can be tricky if you're basing your presumtions on milliseconds.

You'll also wish to consider heat dissipation, how hot the chip in question runs, but also. graphics processor if you plan on dipping into Vantage or other similar gpu/xpu real time renderer.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I have very poor results with cpu heat, during real time rendering ineractive renderers), unless I'm on a workstation running water loops.  (My preference not to be in the 80-90c range).

I personally cringe at the thought of running high specs on a laptop, but then, many do, so I'm certain you'll work it our.

Please make sure whatever you purchase, handles heat very well.

Hi Billy,

Thank you very much for your recommendation.
I was not paying much attention to the cooling system, but as your advice is crucial to make it a priority so don't run in overheat with these specs.
Thank you for your advice and I certainly will consider the suggestions.
