With 11th Gen Intel Core and AMD Ryzen 5000, competition in workstation CPUs has never been so strong. Greg Corke explores the best CPUs for design-centric workflows from CAD and BIM to reality modelling and rendering O ne of the questions we get asked most often at...
The 11th Gen Intel Core processor might be a step back in some departments, but in single threaded workflows like CAD and BIM it remains king. Furthermore, coupled wth the right components — as it is in this new tower from Derby-based Workstation Specialists — it can...
The hype-cycle for Virtual Reality is over; it’s now time for practical applications to benefit the way we work. What would happen if an architect could design a VR system to solve some of today’s design and collaboration problems? You no longer need to ask that...
Dell’s UltraSharp monitors are well regarded in the design and engineering industry. Al Dean takes a look at the latest product, which targets the home worker who needs that little bit extra when it comes to screen real estate The way we look at our computing hardware...
Nvidia’s deep learning technology, embedded in Enscape 3.1, delivers ‘higher-quality renderings’ and ‘improved real-time performance’ Last week we got a taste of what was coming in Enscape 3.1, with the news that Nvidia Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) would be...
Design visualisation technology has seen huge leaps and bounds in the last five years, from real-time ray tracing to the availability of low-cost VR headsets. So, what happened to AR in AEC? It seems to have got lost on the way to the party. Martyn Day searches for...
