Processor advice

sm6fhz

Hi all.
I am in the process of upgrading an older desktop with a new motherboard and CPU.
How would a
Intel Core i5 12400F 2.5 GHz 18MB do for a SDR machine?

What about OS; Win10 or Win11? Home or Pro edition?

Any other CPU that would be a better cost - performance alternative for a SDR machine application using SDR-Console?

I would go with an AMD Ryzen 7. More cores for a similar price. The 3700X for example.

OS doesn't seem to matter much with respect to SDR. Maybe pro because it supports remote desktop, but there are other ways to get that.

Not forget to count in an nvidia card

I just upgraded to an AMD Ryzen 5600G with internal graphics, Gigabyte B5500 gaming mother boparrd (I like lots of PCI slots)

and 32 GB of RAM. Used my old case andIt cost me $ 225 CPU, $90 32 GB ram and & $164 for M2 2TBN disk.

Performance on tests rate it quite high. Really fast.. All Amazon prices

Superb. I prefer Intel, runs much cooler than AMD.

Check the latest gamer channel comments about AMD vs Intel CPUs. AMD is doing pretty darned good with their latest CPUs. I've been recreating watching Linus Sebastian's LTT channels.

Thanks for the information.
I have been burnt by AMD, so I lean towards Intel CPU's. Even if AMD has improved. Old dogs etc.....

What chip-set should I choose to go with this
Intel Core i5 12400F 2.5 GHz 18MB
CPU when I chose the motherboard?
There are a few and I can not distinguish between them when it comes to pros and cons.
B660
H610
Z690
Z790

Any obvious choice?

Hi Ingolf,

I recently built a new PC, All the hardware came from MSI, case, motherboard (Z590 Gaming Carbon WiFi), power supply etc as this made connections etc easier.

CPU is Intel Core i7-11700k at 3600MHz, 11th Gen Core

Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 video card - best I could afford at the time, 3070 would be better buy now.

Monitor is a 43" Philips. The 43" allows many more windows open for radio work.

OS - Win 11 home - much better in my opinion than Win 10 except for the Start menu etc for which I use The Stardock Start 11 program to give the same start menu as the Windows 10 one.

Regards Mike.

If you need serious lots of IO consider looking into appropriate chips, the XEON lines.

AMD Ryzen seems to offer the best price-performance ratio at the moment. I purchased a Lenovo Ideacentre mini-tower with Ryzen 5600G processor about a year ago and it has given excellent service running applications including SDRConsole. I only purchased 16GB memory - now wishing that I had gone for 32GB. It rarely runs short of memory, but takes a performance hit when it does - I was being mean - the price difference was not great enough to make the saving worthwhile.

And only uses 65 watts power. CPU fan rarely goes fast! I love mine

My development machine is this:

Intel Core i5 Wallstreet Canyon NUC 12 Tall Mini PC Kit LN128946 - RNUC12WSHI50000 | SCAN UK

When I get solar panels on the roof in February and have spare (free) power I'll probably go back to a normal PC but this NUC saves on the electricity.
