CPU intensity on UMP 4.6k uncompressed, 4:1 and 3:1 Raw

To get realtime playback in resolve 14 in all these formats with luts applied, is it possible on a laptop? Does anyone know for all raw types? I know you can cache and optimize but I sometimes cant. I am looking at anything from a clevo to MacBook pro with egpu. The main unknown is what 4.6k raw does to modern mobile CPUs. Will it always bottleneck here?

Generate optimized media from those raw files. It will use close to every available CPU cycle but get the job done and then your editing will be much smoother and hopefully problem free.

Yeah I want to avoid this if possible.... Sometimes I just don't have the time.

Actually the CPU has not much to do, when it comes to BM raw material.

Most of the cores are bored to death while editing.
I caught them playing poker, or watching p o r n, while the GPU and I/O system does the heavy lifting.

If you have the budget, get a Clevo with 2 GPUs and your material on Thunderbolt Raid 0 or a internal SSD.

If this is true couldnt I get a smaller form factor laptop with egpu instead?

In theory yes, though you'll still need a lot of disk bandwidth.

I'm using a Razer Blade Stealth (Kaby Lake version) with an nVidia Geforce 1080Ti in a Razer Core and it's doing pretty well, as long as the disks can keep up.

I'm getting pretty good results with this combination, though with effects and color grades it does struggle a bit with 8K footage. Black Magic raw is less GPU/CPU intensive than Redcode, but more disk intensive. Such is the trade off.
