Hello,
Assuming that there is no budget limit, what would be the best configuration for a CFD workstation to run CFX (and possibly OpenFOAM) ? Lets say, cooling is a limitation. I mean that the workstation should be able to keep itself cool in a room at ambient temperature of 25°C. I would like to hear the debate - i7 vs Xeon AMD vs Intel etc... Thanks in advance. Rishi |

Thanks
That looks interesting. -------- I had one more question- If it were a single core world (what I really mean is a single CFX licence) what would be the best thing out there ? i7 or Xeon or something from AMD ? |

I like the looks of Cray's CX1-iWS, especially given the limitation you have on cooling. It uses Xeon processors..

As of now I might be settling for a Dell T7500 with Intel Xeon X5680 (almost similar to i7-980x). Price ranges from €5000 to €10,000 depending on what one puts in the box.
