We put Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 5 250K Plus to the test against prior-gen and AMD’s Ryzen 9000 in CAD and photogrammetry applications.


We put Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 5 250K Plus to the test against prior-gen and AMD’s Ryzen 9000 in CAD and photogrammetry applications.

With RTX PRO Blackwell cards now available, we tested workstation GPUs from AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA to see how they perform in engineering applications.

We explore how the latest AMD Ryzen and Intel Core Ultra desktop CPUs perform in SOLIDWORKS, Inventor, and Revit.

How does Intel’s new entry-level professional Arc Pro B50 GPU compare to the NVIDIA RTX A1000 in professional media editing, AI, and CAD/BIM applications?

AMD’s Ryzen 5000 Series processors have shown stellar performance across a wide range of applications so far, and now we have the opportunity to test them head-to-head against Intel’s Core series in SOLIDWORKS 2020.

A short article covering some of the best computer system configurations for design in SOLIDWORKS.

Intel recently updated their mainstream Core processor series, and since we had tested SOLIDWORKS 2020 SP1 pretty recently we thought it would be good to run these new CPUs through the same testing to see how they compare with other Intel and AMD models.

With the recent release of SOLIDWORKS 2020’s first service pack, as well as multiple new CPU launches from Intel and AMD in the past few months, we thought it would be a good time to do a roundup of processor performance in modeling, rendering, and simulations within SOLIDWORKS.

With the recent release of SOLIDWORKS 2020’s first service pack, we thought it would be a good time to do a roundup of NVIDIA Quadro video card performance with regards to modeling in SOLIDWORKS.

AMD recently launched an updated generation of their mainstream Ryzen processors, with increases to both core count and clock speed / per-core performance. We’ve already tested these chips on a wide range of applications, and now it is time to look at how they handle a professional engineering program: SOLIDWORKS.
