For most of the last decade, the high-core workstation conversation has been largely led by AMD. Threadripper PRO pushed core counts, cache, and PCIe lanes past what Intel’s Xeon-W line could offer; the prior Xeon-W flagship topped out at 60 cores, while AMD kept climbing. Intel’s Xeon 600 series, launched in February of this year,
The Radeon RX 9070 GRE is not a new GPU. AMD introduced it last year as a China-only part, and at Computex 2026, the company gave it a global release. It slots into the upper-mainstream space below the RX 9070, focused on 1440p performance, modern display support, and the hardware behind newer features such as
There are two stories in the Dell Pro Max 16 Plus, and they pull in opposite directions. One is a top-tier mobile workstation: Intel’s 24-core Core Ultra 9 285HX, up to 256GB of CAMM2 memory, three M.2 slots, NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell graphics up to the 5000-series with 24GB of GDDR7, MIL-STD-810H build, and a
The DGX Spark platform is familiar territory for us at this point. We’ve reviewed the Dell, ASUS, Acer, and Gigabyte takes on NVIDIA’s GB10 Grace Blackwell reference design, and the core ingredients are consistent across all of them: 1,000 TOPS of FP4 compute, 128GB of unified LPDDR5x memory, and dual 200GbE networking in a 150mm
AMD is once again pushing the boundaries of the high-performance desktop market with the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition, which launches at an MSRP of $899. When we reviewed the Ryzen 9 9950X3D in March 2025, it made a compelling case as the first 16-core X3D processor, with thermal and TDP constraints no longer forcing
Following our most recent review of the Dell Precision 7875 tower workstation, which explored its 96-core AMD Threadripper PRO foundation, expansive memory and storage support, and dual professional GPUs, this updated review focuses on the latest iteration of the platform. This version takes full advantage of NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Workstation GPUs and
Lenovo engineered the ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 for professionals who demand workstation-class reliability in a highly mobile form factor. Consequently, this device bridges the gap between a traditional laptop and a heavy-duty desk-bound machine. Powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra “Series 2” H-series processors, the laptop integrates a dedicated NPU capable of up to
The ThinkPad P16v Gen 3 is positioned as a versatile, mid-tier powerhouse in Lenovo’s workstation lineup, bridging the gap between the ultra-portable P1 and the desktop-replacement P16. Built for engineers, data scientists, and power users who prioritize sustained performance and hardware longevity, this “AI Ready” machine leverages Intel’s latest Core Ultra “Series 2” architecture. Our
Lenovo’s ThinkPad P16 Gen 3 is a high-end mobile workstation built around Intel’s Core Ultra 9 275HX and NVIDIA’s RTX PRO 5000, paired with a 16-inch 3200 x 2000 Tandem OLED touchscreen. It is a 5.6-pound workstation-replacement system built for users who rely on GPU acceleration, high-core-count CPUs, large memory pools, and PCIe Gen5 storage,
Lenovo designed the ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 for engineers, educators, and creative professionals who need to handle heavy workloads while staying highly portable. Equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 7 265H, this mobile workstation features a dedicated NPU (Neural Processing Unit) with Intel AI Boost, delivering up to 13 TOPS of efficient AI-accelerated performance. Additionally,
