Apple M1 MacBook vs PC Desktop Workstation for Adobe Creative Cloud
Apple has recently launched MacBook Air and Pro models using the new Apple M1 chip based on the Arm instruction set. While we do not usually examine performance for laptops, we wanted to see how these new chips compare to a desktop PC.
GPU Rendering – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series Multi-GPU Scaling
With the initial launches in NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 Series complete, and availability getting better, it is time to look at how well these cards scale in multi-GPU configurations for rendering within Redshift, OctaneRender, and V-Ray.
Quad RTX3090 GPU Wattage Limited “MaxQ” TensorFlow Performance
Can you run 4 RTX3090’s in a system under heavy compute load? Yes, by using nvidia-smi I was able to reduce the power limit on 4 GPUs from 350W to 280W and achieve over 95% of maximum performance. The total power load “at the wall” was reasonable for a single power supply and a modest US residential 110V, 15A power line.
AMD X570 vs B550 vs A520 Chipset Comparison
AMD has three current chipsets for their mainstream Ryzen processors, each targeting a different segment of the market with appropriate features and pricing. What is the difference between each of these chipsets, though? Knowing that can help make sure you get the right motherboard for your next workstation PC.
Messy Memory Speed Standards
Here at Puget Systems, we have tried to be careful about sticking to CPU manufacturer memory specifications – to ensure the best reliability, and to avoid overclocking memory controllers (which could, technically, violate CPU warranties). But increasingly complicated memory speed support schemes on many newer processors, combined with a lack of supply of certain speed modules, has forced us to adopt a new approach to what we offer in our workstations.
What is Virtualization All About
Virtualization is the process of creating a software-based, or virtual, representation of something, such as virtual applications, servers, storage and networks.
