The functions and performances of these softwares are very powerful, but the requirements for hardware are also very high and special. They need high-end processors and graphics cards, large-capacity memory and high-speed hard disks to run smoothly and improve work efficiency, and they also need professional graphics card drivers.
Intel has introduced a special Xeon processor, which is available on both desktop and mobile, with stronger specifications and performance, and is very common in high-end workstations.
Graphics cards include NVIDIA Quadro series and AMD fire Pro/ Radium Pro series, which are similar in hardware to GeForce and Radium Pro used by players, but will support some advanced professional features. ECC error checking can ensure long-term high-load operation without errors. At the same time, NVIDIA and AMD will provide professional drivers with better stability and stronger professional functions, which can maximize hardware performance.
Take the famous Lenovo thinkpad P70 as an example. Its top version is equipped with professional graphics card and Xeon processor, and the configuration is the same as that of desktop workstation. In order to pursue stability, the motherboard chipset has also been redesigned, and the memory is the same as that of the server supporting ECC technology. The screen is basically to support 99% AdobeRGB color gamut. Even the system is a professional version. The price of these accessories is much higher than ordinary ones. Coupled with the pursuit of stable design, high prices are normal.
Of course, the price of workstations is much higher than that of ordinary PCs.
In addition, the workstation does not deliberately pursue the design, but is simple. After all, it is for work, and the connotation is the first.
