Performance
Save up to 27 minutes for every hour of productivity on the fastest workstation processors on the market. When you need to get the job done, moving the deadline isn’t an option. Artists, architects, and engineers require a highly expandable desktop or workstation platform that can deliver unmatched, reliable full spectrum performance with enterprise class security features, and manageability.
Ideal Processors for 3D Modeling & Design
3D modeling and design tasks are lightly threaded, meaning that they typically make use of just a few cores. A processor with a higher frequency can have a significant impact on performance and productivity if this is the primary task in your workflow. Another consideration is the amount of memory your workstation can address when dealing with large datasets.
If you wish to accommodate secondary multi-threaded tasks in your workflow, like rendering or reality capture, find the best balance of high core count and high clock speed.
Ideal Processors for Rendering
Many architects and engineers rely on CPU based rendering engines to generate ultra-photorealistic renderings in order to win project bids and convey design intent to potential clients. If your primary workflow task involves frequent CPU rendering, you should procure a workstation with the most CPU cores that your budget allows.
Ideal Processors for Reality Capture
Laser scanners are an excellent tool to capture the existing condition of a building or site which can be used as a starting point for a BIM project. Manipulating and registering billions of data points across dozens of scans is a computationally intensive multithreaded process that can be accelerated on workstations with many CPU cores.
