I'm aiming to create a compact machine for Autodesk Fusion 360. The main specs are running an Nvidia RTX A2000 and ensuring at least 64GB of RAM. I'm not sure if Intel or AMD is the better choice, but any advice would be appreciated. While I usually prefer Apple products, I can't find what I need there. If you have a solid build suggestion, please share it—I'd really appreciate it.

That was quick! How do you feel about the comparison between AMD and Intel?

The main idea is that AMD might get an opportunity to upgrade its CPUs in the future, while Intel won't. Intel usually replaces its own CPUs rather than serving as a motherboard for upgrades.

Yes, that's correct. You can upgrade the CPU independently of the motherboard.

I am hesitant to provide recommendations until I have a better understanding of your requirements.
What does you mean by a small budget?
Could you clarify what you intend by the term "physical size restriction"?
At any cost, the available options from AMD and Intel appear quite similar.
How powerful should your processor be?
The app recommends a processor with 3 GHz or higher and at least 6 cores.
That could vary depending on your needs.
Based on how the app functions, does it benefit from utilizing as many processing threads as possible, or is it more suited to single-thread performance?

AMD seems to have a new socket, and it's definitely brand new. The previous generation had four CPU generations on this socket.
Intel has slightly changed their approach with three generations now, but it's nearing the end of its life.
For Fusion 360, single-core performance still looks best, which suggests an Intel chip with its high clock speeds would be better. However, in a couple of years AMD might surpass them and you wouldn't need to upgrade the motherboard.

This applies to both Intel and AMD.
In reality, most significant CPU improvements usually require a new motherboard.
New processors are released as small enhancements, providing generally around 15% better performance for the cost.

This has been accurate before, especially for AMD compared to Intel. AMD mentioned that the upcoming "Zen5" CPU will stick with the AM5 connector. This indicates a planned upgrade in the next generation of CPUs.

Fusion performs quite well on my Mac M1, though the GPU part is where I'm facing the biggest issues. Also, Autodesk offers plugins that only work with the PC version of the software, which adds another layer of complexity. If I were working heavily on rendering, I'd consider a different method.
