Intel Xeon And AMD High-End Processors

Posted 3DwombatPosted in Computer Hardware

Intel Xeon Processors Xeons processors are the corporate-class of CPU from Intel.  Those generally appear as more expensive CPU, when compared to mainstream versions with the same clock speeds.  This is because they offer other advantages that are more business-oriented. Although, we do not recommend them for home users, it is worth noting how they compare to regular processors.  Here are a few advantages of the Xeon class or CPU: They permit a longer product […]

Laptops vs Desktops, Mac vs PC computers

Posted 3DwombatPosted in Computer Hardware

Choosing the Right Type of Computer Laptop Computers for 3D graphics Laptop computers are not a very good form factor when trying to make 3D, because of the screen size, battery life and the inadequate ventilation for long term heat dissipation during 3D renderings.  Additionally, the form factor will make it much more expensive in the performance-to-price ratio because of the miniaturization, and you may find it difficult to upgrade it later on. You may […]
