Thanks for the feedback! Best Leo

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. My computation need is primarily running circuit simulations (Cadence Virtuoso, Keysight ADS, etc) and electromagnetic simulations (Ansys HFSS, a finite element solver). Both types of simulations are particularly efficient for multi-threading, so single core...

I'd like to build a new system for running scientific computation. My budget is $1000-1200. I'm thinking of getting a 8700k based system. I know the basics of putting together a computer, but I'm not very up to date regarding the various components. I built a few systems before using...

bambiboom and all While I was doing my research on Xeons yesterday, I also ran into several articles on the E5-2679v4 processor, which is obviously expensive but seems to be extremely capable. It has 20 physical cores capable of running at 3.2GHz simultaneously. It's not an official SKU and is...

bambiboom Among the three Options you provided, I like the 2687Wv2 the best for its high clock speed. Do you know its Turbo speed for all cores? It would be nice to add a little more memory also. I also noticed that the 2667v2 and 2687Wv2 have almost identical specs, with the 2687Wv2's base...

I'm looking at building a dual-Xeon system for mainly integrated circuit simulation using Cadence Virtuoso, Ansys HFSS, and Keysight ADS. My budget is $7000-8000. Both Virtuoso and HFSS can utilize many cores. My lab also has more than one people that need to access the system so it's a good...
