Hey guys,

I am buying a computer for uni, since we have to use Vivado. So, I was just wondering what kind of processor do one need to run Vivado. From what I found from research it has to be an Intel or AMD processor. I do not quite understand this kind of stuff yet, so I just wanna be sure that I can download vivado, since I am coming from a macbook. I was looking at a computer with AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 365 processor to be specific the Lenovo Yoga pro 7 14ASP9 R9-AI/32/1TB 14,5" Copilot+ PC. I hope is not a too stupid question. I could not find anything about Copilot+ having an influence on Vivado but I am not quite sure. But I do not see how it would influence since Copilot is AI. 

Thank you in advance

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 with an AMD Ryzen 9 processor and 32GB of RAM should effectively support Vivado's requirements. Vivado benefits from multi-core processors, and the Ryzen 9's multiple cores can enhance performance during synthesis and implementation tasks. Additionally, 32GB of RAM is suitable for handling complex designs. Regarding the Copilot+ AI feature, it should not interfere with Vivado's functionality, as Vivado does not rely on AI-specific hardware. Ensure that the operating system on the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 is compatible with Vivado's supported platforms, as Vivado's performance and compatibility can vary depending on the OS.
