AMD Zen 3/Ryzen 5000 announcement [video]

I had (before switching jobs) the 2018 MBP with all the options maxed out.

Was running a Docker stack of about 8 containers, plus PyCharm. It worked okay-ish, but everything was maxed out all the time and the fans were always spinning. Battery was being drained even when on the charger. Pycharm would lag for a second or two here and there.

Now switched jobs and was issued a 2018 MBP with only 16GB RAM and the 2.2GHz i7. I have gone to the trouble to run everything locally (A single 200MB Python repo + Spark). I don't see the same power drain but Pycharm lags VERY hard on its indexing and code insight... sometimes 5-10 seconds.

There is a high chance you tried it, but have you adjusted memory heap?

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/increasing-memory-hea...

Using pycharm (although with a couple of the smaller projects and the number of containers) just fine on i5-8265U (1.6 GHz base) and 16 GB of RAM. There are always tons of tabs opened in Firefox at the same time and 3440x1440 monitor. No discrete GPU.

It was painful to use Pycharm with default values.

Yeah, I gave it 8 GB and I watch the memory indicator and it rarely uses a full 2 GB.

Makes it seem like it's not a memory limitation, which I didn't really expect it to be.
