CPU Evaluation for CAD

CPU Evaluation for CAD

CPU Evaluation for CAD

(OP)
Is there an easy way to compare CPU performance when applied to CAD applications?  I've been looking at cpubenchmark.net but their Passmark score is generated by tests that run multi-thread applications that can take full advantage of multi-core processors.  As we all know, most CAD applications are single thread and can only make limited use of multi-core CPUs so I'm concerned that the Passmark score is not truly relevant for CAD use.

I'm looking for a high end 64bit machine to run ProE, Catia UG.

Thanks.
 

RE: CPU Evaluation for CAD

This site has Pro/E benchmark results as well as the files to run your own benchmark.
http://www.proesite.com/
It gives results for various things like CPU, graphics, disk IO and a few others.
From my experience with NX and Pro/E, good numbers for the benchmark are usually good on NX, too.
There is a SPEC benchmark that does NX and Pro/E, but I don't have the link anymore.
