- HP White Paper: Dual-Processor Workstation Productivity in MCAD/AEC Environments
- This white paper describes multi-core, multi-processor computing and the performance advantages of dual-processor, Xeon-based workstations. Dual-processor equipped xw6400 and xw8400 workstations provide better performance in typical MCAD/AEC environments than the single-processor xw4400. Tests have shown performance gains of up to 17% for typical MCAD/AEC application scenarios. Nowadays compute-intensive environments demand...
