Generational Performance Comparison Ratio of Intel Xeon E5-1620/E6850 NVIDIA Quadro 2000/FX1700
Running SPECapc for Creo 2
Xeon E6850/FX1700/8GB System from 2007
Xeon E5-1620/Quadro2000/8GB System from 2012
Both systems retail around $2,200
2012 LENOVO. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 30
If you have a 5 year old system
– For about the same system cost as in 2007
– CPU performance will be 1.5X
– GPU performance will be about 3X
CPU Performance has neglible effect on video performance
– CPU is not bottlenecking video performance
For ultimate Creo 2 performance
– E3-1290V2 CPU
– NVIDIA Quadro 4000 GPU
– Memory
– System memory is dependent on model sizes
– Generally I’d recommend 8 GB 1600 MHz ECC
– HDD
– Again this depends on model sizes
– Generally I’d recommend 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA
Conclusions
2012 LENOVO. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 31
For cost sensitive performance
– E3-1240V2 CPU
– NVIDIA Quadro 2000 GPU
– Memory
– System memory is dependent on model sizes
– Generally I’d recommend 6 GB 1600 MHz ECC
– HDD
– Again this depends on model sizes plus other apps
– Generally I’d recommend 500 GB 7200 RPM SATA
For budget performance
– Good for basic Creo Parametric 2 designer
– Simple models and assemblies
– Not using advanced shading view modes
– E3-1225V2 with Integrated Intel ® HD Graphics P4000
– 4 GB 1600 MHz ECC
– 500 GB 7200 RPM SATA
Conclusions
2012 LENOVO. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 32
Other considerations
– RAID
– Need to move to a system with E5-xxxx CPUs
– E3-12xxV2 CPU systems typically only come with 2 HDD bays
– Software other than Creo Parametric 2
– May perform substantially better with higher core count CPUs
– Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
– Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
– CPU based rendering
– These apps will perform better with E5-xxxx series CPUs
– Ultimate performance obtained with dual socket systems
