What is a workstation – and who is it for?
A workstation is a particularly powerful desktop computer designed for professional and compute-intensive applications. Compared to standard PCs, workstations offer:
- Multi-processor systems or high-end CPUs
- ECC memory (Error-Correcting Code) for maximum data security
- Certified graphics cards (e.g., NVIDIA Quadro, AMD Radeon Pro)
- Expansion options such as extra drives or PCIe cards
- Optimized cooling and power delivery
These features make workstations ideal for engineers, designers, architects, researchers, and developers.
