We look back at our records for 2025 to highlight specific brands and models of workstation computer components that we found to be exceptionally reliable.
Does 2 DIMM per Channel RAM Impact Content Creation Performance?
4 DIMM configurations on consumer CPUs increase memory capacity but reduce RAM speed. How does that impact content creation and professional workflows?
AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D Content Creation Review
We put AMD’s new Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor to the test in professional content creation applications including Premiere Pro, Unreal Engine, and Blender.
2025 Professional GPU Engineering Roundup
With RTX PRO Blackwell cards now available, we tested workstation GPUs from AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA to see how they perform in engineering applications.
2025 Professional GPU Content Creation Roundup
Now that all RTX PRO Blackwell cards are available, we tested workstation GPUs from AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA to see how they perform in content creation.
A Quick Look at Rendering Performance in Windows vs Linux
Do Windows and Linux perform differently when it comes to rendering? We tested Blender and V-Ray on Windows and Ubuntu to see how performance stacks up.
Rendering Benchmarks vs Reality
Rendering benchmarks are great for comparisons, but do they accurately predict render times? We tested real projects across Blender and V-Ray to find out.
Exploring PIX4Dmatic Hardware Performance
We explored the impact of different CPUs and GPUs on PIX4Dmatic performance, as well as comparing a few laptops and an older desktop against modern PCs.
How Disk Cache Impacts After Effects Preview Playback
We put Preview from Disk Cache to the test! This new feature from After Effects 25.2 shifts the focus from RAM capacity to drive speed for smooth playback.
Intel Xeon 6: P-cores vs E-cores for CPU Rendering
Intel’s Xeon 6 server processors come in P-core and E-core variants, so we test two similarly priced models to see which is better for a CPU rendering node.
