Desktop v. Workstation - NEW VIDEO

Its a question many creative professionals have asked: Do I really need a workstation, as opposed to a high-end desktop? If you are a creative professional—and you are probably are since you are reading this article—then the answer is a resounding yes.
I am not even being biased; I am being honest. Did you know the difference in price between a similarly configured high-end desktop and an entry-level workstation is less than $100 today? Did you know the user experience you get on a workstation is dramatically different from that of a high-end desktop? The difference is so powerful you need to see the difference. It is true a picture, or in this case a video capture, is worth a thousand words.
So what makes a workstation so much faster than a high-end desktop? As you have read before, workstations are purpose-built to do a job. They are tested and optimized so that creative applications from Autodesk, Bentley, Dassault CATIA, PTC, Siemens PLM NX, Dassault SolidWorks and others run faster. They are not optimized to run games, they are optimized to create. So is the $100 worth it? I think so.

this video proves nothing ithout specs for the so called high end pc and the workstation. Would a i7-3960X with 16 gb of 1333 ddr and a gtx 580 + a OCZ RevoDrive 3 be considered a workstation or a highend pc ?

is true

Yes they are doing the same test at the same time, but you clearly see workstation goes all fast

[budsmoker9211]

it depends what are your needs. you just can't use workstation for your desktop needs.

I think they both have their own place!
