Worthy alternative to Core i5 10600?

If it's work, can the task not be performed on a server(s)? High CPU count, high RAM count.
Possibly virtual pooled resource environment. Instead of you having to spec a workstation

probably cost more to hire out a server instance and cloud storage...unless it can be used 24/7

edit: there is ondemand costing - https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand/ the issue is then cloud storage. 1TB storage isnt cheap...

this dell is £440 and have a single stick of 16GB ram, so i imagine this can be expanded to 32GB. so what you need to do is to get a match sticking (usually crucial ram) and also get that GPU out of your current PC and put it in there. and you need to get a bigger SSD to use as storage. but you best check with Dell to see if this system can take 32GB ram etc

Thanks for that, I will definitely look at that system. We are generally fans of Dell Optiplex systems but I'm sure I could build a comparable spec i5 for less than that Dell (bearing in mind the price on Dell's website is exc vat).

We do actually have a spare HP DL360p Gen8 server lying around but more than anything it's the power consumption. That would also be a bit of a learning curve though to use the server for its processing power and always up for learning new things

What exactly is it you're trying to do? It's just that needing 1000 layers in Photoshop seems wrong.

The file is for images that we print. Customers can choose a number of options to complete the specific print, so it makes it easier to have it all one a single A4 file, so they can be printed as one.

Depending if this is working and has CPU, RAM & a server OS installed then may aswell give it a try for nothing

I would have thought that having each layer as a separate file, imported as needed, would make for better maintainability. But it it works for you then who am I to gainsay it?

Need to build a new computer for one of our workbenches at work. It will be used mostly for photoshop but one file in particular is 1GB in size and has around 1,000 layers.

We are on a bit of a budget so have been looking at the Core i5 10600.

Is there an alternative that’s worth looking at? Would like to keep the budget as close to £500 as possible.

Core i5 10400 or Core i3 10100??
