Optimized Workstation - which is better?
Optimized Workstation - which is better?
(OP)
My organization is currently deciding between 2 workstations to be a dedicated Abaqus solver machine, for a small group of several engineers that will work in CAE on their laptop and solve on this workstation.
The two options are:
Xeon Six Core 3.06 GHz processor
2 Xeon QuadCore 2.67 MHz processors
Both would have 24Gb RAM.
My question is - is it more advantageous to have 6 more powerful cores, or 8 less powerful?
Thank you for your help,
Drew

RE: Optimized Workstation - which is better?
Actually given the fairly meaty spec I would have thought you could set up a demo, or ask ABAQUS.
Or buy some of each and work to their strengths.
