I have VS solutions with 100s of projects and I want to know what's the best type of processor or notebooks. I know memory and disk IO are important and I will have the best money can buy in those areas, but there's a big difference in processors. For example, my notebook has a i7-7820 @ 2.9 GHz and it can do certain tasks much faster than the server can which has a Xeon processor such as opening dialogue windows in SSMS, but the Xeon processor can run SQL queries much faster than the i7.

And now there's a 3rd option out there where I understand that AMD has something (Ruyzen APU) that smokes Intel. How can I get factual information about the best/fastest processor to build large VS solutions. I spend hours daily waiting for VS to build...

I've spent a lot of time googling this topic and get a lot of opinions an outdated comments but nothing based on hard data that's current for the specific task of building VS Solutions.

Thank you
