Rave Computer has released the
Rave Ignition, a new line of high-performance engineering workstations
specifically tuned for compute-intensive 3-D CAD/CAM/CAE applications.
Featuring the latest Intel technologies and graphics options from
NVIDIA and
ATI, the
Rave Ignition series also
addresses energy concerns via the incorporation of an 85 percent-efficient
power supply that assists in reducing power consumption while maintaining
performance. The series is also equipped with custom thermally controlled
cooling systems to ensure optimal airflow and to help preserve component life,
Rave officials said.
The Standard edition of the workstation line is positioned for
entry-level 3-D CAD applications, featuring Intel's 800-Series Core i7
processors delivering quad processor cores along with Intel's Turbo Boost and
HyperThreading capabilities to achieve high performance. The Ignition Premium
model, aimed at engineering users requiring a bit more robust capabilities for
processing and graphics, touts the Intel 900 series Core i7 processor. It supports
the fastest quad and six-core processors on the market, with the ability to
process up to 12 threads per clock cycle, Rave officials said. Users requiring
an added boost for graphic-intensive 3-D modeling and simulation tasks can
equip the system with multiple, connected graphics cards to achieve faster
rendering times.
The top-of-the-line model in the series is the Ignition Elite, designed
for power users running complex, multithreaded applications such as simulation
or rendering or who require the ability to perform heavy multi-tasking without
any degradation to performance. This class of Ignition models features the new
Intel Xeon Processor 5600 Series and dual server-grade processes with up to 12
cores and 24 processor threads for state-of-the-art workstation performance.
