Today on Tech Check, Intel’s powerhouse new processors, a dock for three 4K displays, and how to capture lighting in a Boxx.
Intel has launched the latest in its top-of-the-line Xeon family of workstation processors. Codenamed Sapphire Rapids, the Xeon W-3400 and Xeon W-2400 series of chips include what Intel calls a breakthrough new compute architecture that will provide massive performance for users such as engineers and data scientists.
The kingpin of the new launch is the Xeon w9-3495X, which offers up to 56 cores in a single socket and up to 105 megabytes of L3 cache. Intel says that adds up to improvements of 28 percent for single-thread and 120 percent for multithread performance compared to the previous generation.
The new Xeon processors are currently available for pre-order ranging from $359 to nearly $6,000.
VisionTek has launched a new 14-port docking station that supports not one, not two, but three 4K monitors. The VT7400 is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Chrome laptops and connects to the host via a single USB-C cable.
In addition to DisplayPorts and HDMI Ports, the VT7400 includes several USB-A and USB-C ports with up to 100W of power delivery for the host system. There’s also an Ethernet port, 3.5mm audio jack, and Kensington lock slot.
The VT7400 comes with a power adapter and USB-C host cable, and it’s available from VisionTek for $349.
Texas-based workstation maker Boxx has announced the latest update to its entry-level Apexx E3 desktop workstation. It now offers the latest 13th generation of Intel Core processors.
One of the best features of the new Core chips is their clock speed, which maxes out at a lighting-fast 5.8GHz. Faster chips mean better performance for lightly-threaded applications like CAD, and Boxx says the Apexx E3 is purpose-built for users of Solidworks, Revit and more.
The Boxx Apexx E3 offers a variety of configurations and is available now for $2,400 and up.
