Hi All,
I work with large datasets (~million of observations and several variables). I use statistical methods that are very demanding of computational resources. A desktop is not an option because I need to be able to move.
The most powerful laptops to my understanding are the Octane II and Defiance II (the 15.6" is just a personal choice).
I wonder which processor fits best my need for speed, a i7-6700K (15.6" Octane II) or a i7-6820HK (15.6" Defiance II)?
Considering that I will have to wait for the i7-6700K to be available.
The rest of the specs for any of them
- 32GB HyperX IMPACT 2400MHz SODIMM DDR4 (4 x 8GB)
- 480GB HyperX SAVAGE SSD, SATA 6 Gb/s (upto 560MB/sR | 530MB/sW)
- 500GB WD BLACK 2.5" WD5000LPLX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 32MB CACHE (7200 rpm)
- ARCTIC MX-4 EXTREME THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY COMPOUND (<--Is this one good enough for the i7-6700K cooling issues?)
Any thoughts are welcome.
