New CPU Increases Engineering Workstation Performance

Engineers frustrated with the computational limitations of their CAD workstations will appreciate the performance improvement offered by the recently released Intel Xeon E processor. This processor is the latest in a family of CPUs targeting the workstation market and is the successor to the workhorse E3 processor.
Users working on entry-level workstations will see significant performance improvements when they upgrade to workstations with the Xeon E processor. This processor targets the entry-level workstation market for applications such as CAD, schematic entry and basic modeling where computational requirements are limited. This “entry-level” processor still provides significant performance improvement over previous entry-level workstation processors.
