 Intel Core Workstation Computers
Strictly speaking Core i7 CPUs from Intel are not aimed mainly at professional users. These are better thought of as “prosumer” CPUs. They cost much less than their Xeon counterparts,generally have fewer cores and don’t have many of the specific server and workstation features that make Xeons such a popular choice. However, there are many professional workloads for which the i7 is the best choice. Video editors and other creative professionals such as those doing GPU-centric rendering will find that the i7 range provides great performance and some of the best per-core performance you’ll find in the entire Intel range. Thanks to features like hyperthreading the i7 CPUs perform significantly better in threaded operations such as video encoding compared to i5 CPUs with the same physical core count and clock speed.
Unless you have a very specific professional application or workload that needs a Xeon or Opteron, the i7 series represents the best performing option for the vast majority of users. Here you will find bold styling audacious colours and custom components. All while still adhering to our rigorous testing and lifetime labor and support policy.
