Intel has launched their new Xeon Scalable processor series, with very high core counts and multi-CPU configurations. How do they stack up to single-socket workstations using other Intel and AMD processors when rendering in V-Ray?
V-Ray CPU Rendering: Apple iMac Pro and Mac Pro vs PC Workstations
“Mac or PC?” – the age-old question among computer enthusiasts. How fast are Apple and PC workstations when rendering in V-Ray? And which offers a better value?
Cinema 4D: Apple iMac Pro and Mac Pro vs PC Workstations
“Mac or PC?” – the age-old question among computer enthusiasts. How do Apple and PC workstations compare for content creation and rendering in Cinema 4D?
Cinema 4D CPU Comparison: Xeon Scalable vs Core i7 8700K, Core X, and Threadripper
Intel has launched their new Xeon Scalable processor series, with very high core counts when used in dual CPU configurations. How do they stack up to single-socket workstations using other Intel and AMD processors in Cinema 4D?
After Effects CC 2018: iMac Pro & Mac Pro vs PC Workstation
After Effects users are often held back by the performance of their workstation, yet a surprising number of users lock themselves into the Mac ecosystem. In this article we will be looking at just how much faster a PC workstation can be in After Effects compared to the iMac Pro and Mac Pro.
Premiere Pro CC 2018: iMac Pro & Mac Pro vs PC Workstation
Apple may have had a stranglehold on video editing workstations for many years, but with 4K, 6K, and even 8K footage being used more and more, many are starting to jump ship in favor of a PC workstation. Most people know that they can get more out of a PC, but just how much faster is a PC versus a Mac Pro or iMac Pro in Premiere Pro?
DaVinci Resolve 14: iMac Pro & Mac Pro vs PC Workstation
With the rise of 4K, 6K, and even 8K footage, colorists using DaVinci Resolve are quickly discovering that the Mac ecosystem is simply not able to give them the performance they need. Most people know that they can get more out of a PC, but just how much faster is a PC versus a Mac Pro or iMac Pro?
Puget Systems Benchmark Tool for Pix4D
Want to see how your system stacks up to the latest hardware? Download our free, public Pix4D benchmark tool which will walk you through a couple of basic projects and display the calculation times. We’ve also included a video walkthrough, showing how to use this tool, and some comparison results from recent workstations built here at Puget Systems.
Agisoft PhotoScan 1.4.1 – CPU Performance Comparison
PhotoScan makes heavy use of the central processor (CPU) in a computer to run many of the calculations involved in turning still images into a 3D model or map. Different steps in that process utilize the CPU in various ways, though, so we are looking at how several Intel and AMD processors compare in this application.
Microsoft Build 2018 — impressions
I attended the Microsoft Build 2018 developers conference this week and really enjoyed it. I wanted to share my “big picture” feelings about it and some of the things that stood out to me. I’m not going to give you a “reporters” view or repeat press-release items. This is just my personal impression of the conference.
