i5 or i7 for 3D modeling

[Mikemike123]

Hello, I'm not sure how the i5 and i7 will perform for 3D modeling software such as AutoCAD and Solidworks. Would there be a big difference in performance and loading times between the i5 and i7?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure you should be more concerned about the GPU than the CPU.

Yea, I'm definitely getting a dedicated GPU laptop but I'm unsure whether I should go with an i5 or i7 core

I don't think I need that much RAM. Usually, I would go for 16gb ram minimum.

Is there no point in getting an i7?

It would help but the difference might be marginal. Maybe 5-10% faster with a i7?

The people talking about graphic card and i5 have no idea what they're talking about. Cadding is primarily single threaded operation. Most important is to get loads of ram (at least 16gb), followed by an i7, then if you have budget leftover, graphic card.
