2024 Technology Preview Program:
Master powerful new features and shape the latest BIM-enabled innovations

Hi all,
while @Minh Nguyen has compiled truly great guides and comparisons for GPUs, I cannot find detailed information on CPU performance in Archicad.
My parents have been struggling with slow 2D navigation (redraw?) in large projects, hence I'll upgrade them from an 9700k to a 13700k, as the latest intel CPUs have made a huge leap in single-core performance.
However, with the new Ryzen 7000 CPUs with 3D V-Cache coming out, I was wondering if the additional cache can help some Archicad workflows. I personally know that racing simulators (and Microsoft Flight Simulator) benefit hugely by the additional cache. On the other hand, CPU rendering is not helped much by large amounts of cache, but what about 2D redraw? Without background knowledge on the code the only other option is to test it, but I lack the resources and time.
Anyone have experience on that? A sensitivity analysis for RAM bandwidth and latency would also be a great resource for everyone. @GRAPHISOFT let's go, please help us clear-up some performance questions!
My wishlist:
- Does thread scheduling work properly with 12th and 13th gen Intel CPUs? Both on W10 and W11?
- Does 3D V-Cache have a significant benefit for 2D redraw or other operations?
- Intel 12th vs 13th gen comparison would also be interesting, due to the increase in L2 cache.
- Is there a benefit of tighter RAM timings and higher frequency?
- Does Archicad favor Intel or AMD at the moment?

Hi rigoschr,
Thanks for initiating this discussion as I am sure other users are having similar questions given how many new technologies are available and how it all glues together when it comes to performance.
Let me know your thoughts on these remarks.
