Advice on Intel vs AMD

[yzpmpgq]

I have built 3 BI systems. My house with 12 4mp cameras, a school with 34 4mp and 2 4k cameras and a Church with 32 4mp cameras. All have been i7 machines and function flawlessly. Our Church is moving and would like to set up a new system with around 40 cameras (mostly 4mp), but they have 2 servers that they are "getting rid of" which I quickly claimed. 1 has an i7-7700@3.6Ghz and the other has and AMD Ryzen 5 3600X. There is also a Nvidia GTX 1660 Super video card.

Any recommendations on which processor to build with?

According to the benchmark, the AMD will be better, but uses more power as well.

The 7th gen cannot officially be upgraded to Win11 if that is an issue for you.

The video card is only needed if you are doing a lot of CodeProject. With substreams, the GPU isn't needed.
