I’m a grad student who frequently does power electronics simulations in Simulink. I am thinking of getting a new PC with 32 GB RAM (5600 MHz) and need to select the CPU. I’ve stumbled upon supposedly good options, such as the Intel i9-14900K (or i7-14700F if I go for significantly cheaper), and the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Which will be faster for Simulink simulations? Does the fact that the i9 has 24 cores vs the Ryzen 7’s 8 cores make a big difference, or is Simulink, by default, bottlenecked by single-core performance?
I read that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has higher single-core performance, but the i9-14900K will have better multicore performance and is favourable if I ran multiple simulations at once or used parallel computing. However, the parallel computing toolbox seems difficult to use, so I don’t know if I’d like to amend all of my simulation practices to adhere to it.
Please don’t suggest making my simulations different or optimized; I understand that that will make a great difference in simulation speed. Also, I’m sorry if my lack of computer hardware knowledge is showing!I’m a grad student who frequently does power electronics simulations in Simulink.
