I'm not certain hardware queries are allowed here - apologies if not but where I live (South Asia) I have, broadly two Intel CPU choices for an upgrade from an I7 7700k (no o/c):
Intel I5 11400 and the I7 10700F
The price difference is about $5 USD.
In the benchmarks the 11400 actually appears faster overall but I'm most interested in LR performance with regards to active tasks like switching modules and scrolling through tens of thousands of photos.
https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-10700F-vs-Intel-Core-i5-11400/m1183814vs4112
I'm only even considering the 7700F due to it's 4.8ghz clock speed and higher core/thread count but it doesn't seem to be as fantastic as it sounds unless one looks at the 'nice to have' section (10700f on the left) but how relevant is this to LR & PS?:
The 11400 has the benefit of an IGPU which is a useful fallback if my discrete vga fails.
Points to consider:
-I don't presently use PremierePro but I would like to as time progresses
-The most intensive PS tasks regularly initiated are: applying SilverEfx and Analog Efx filters with a fair bit of HDR work (5-6 photos).
-I work with large print files in LR & PS
-I would soon like to do some light/moderate 3D work in PS & perhaps other software over the coming year.
-LR & PS have use of dedicated Sata SSDs for CamRaw Cache, Scratch Disks and Catalog+Previews.
-All other options save for some 10th Gen I5 options (10500/10600k) are out as the price difference is significant.
Thoughts are welcome and appreciated!
