Intel has a number of different CPU product lines available which are currently primarily using one of two different CPU architectures. In this article we will be looking at how much of a difference the architecture makes to help determine if there is a performance advantage to using one line over another.
If you have a subscription to Solidworks, you have access to a feature called network rendering which allows you to split up a render across multiple machines. In this article we will be examining how effective this is and comparing the performance to a dedicated Dual Xeon workstation that has been optimized for rendering.
A little over a year ago, I wrote an article titled, “What I Wish I Had Known” that included specific feedback customers shared with me shortly after taking delivery of a new Puget Systems computer. Since that time I’ve talked to hundreds, if not thousands of customers, who have passed along more feedback that might be valuable to those who are configuring or considering a new computer.
With that in mind, here are a few more items our customers would change, if they could go back in time:
The batteries in our Puget Traverse Pro are lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.
Throw out everything that you thought you knew about battery charging. Lithium-ion batteries are a completely different animal from how other types of batteries work and are charged, maintained, and stored.
At Puget Systems, we track a lot of data but one of the most important things we track is the failure rates of individual components. Reliability is of our primary values, so this data is invaluable for tracking both individual component, product line, and overall brand failure rates. With 2015 coming to a close, we thought we make public a bit of this data to let you know what hardware we found to be the most reliable in 2015.
Intel is working on an optimized Python! I did a quick test with the preview version and it looks good.
Despite how popular Solidworks is, there is a lot of outdated and simply inaccurate information on the web regarding what video card you should use. In this article we will be looking benchmarking multiple video cards at both 1080p and 4K resolutions to determine whether you should be using a professional grade NVIDIA Quadro GPU in Solidworks.
I’m going to coin this transformation as the “small business singularity.” If you’re a science fiction fan like me, you might already be familiar with the idea of a technology singularity. In a small business, this transformation happens when the founder is no longer the sole source of initiative in the business.
