This white paper describes multi-core, multi-processor computing and the performance advantages of multi-core, multi-processor workstations. Dual-processor equipped xw6400 and xw8400 workstations provide better performance in typical Digital Content Creation (DCC) environments than the single-processor xw4400. For typical DCC application scenarios, tests have shown performance gains of up to 65%.Digital content creators in animation, video game development, and post-production know well the challenge of delivering cutting-edge, lifelike graphics, and special effects to increasingly sophisticated audiences. Under pressure to deliver ever more astonishing results, artists and designers look to technology to improve their productivity and the quality of their work.
