Intel Pentium Workstations - Graphics & CAD Workstations

Broadberry Graphics Workstations utilise the Intel® Core™2 Duo, Intel® Core™2 Quad, Intel® Core™2 Extreme core processors, to give the best possible economical performance for high end graphics, DTP, CAD/CAM/CAE & other workstation applications.

Our Customers include BBC, ITV, GMTV, Tesco, Sony, Toshiba, 3D Labs, Creative Labs, Toyota, Walt Disney, Lockhead Martin, US Army, US Navy, US Air Force, British Ministry of Defence, plus many more.

All of our Graphics Workstations incorporate the NVIDIA Quadro FX550, FX560, FX1500, FX3500, FX4500, FX4600, FX5500 or FX5600 graphics cards. The NVIDIA Quadro FX family delivers the fastest application performance and the highest quality workstation graphics. But raw performance and quality are only the beginning. NVIDIA Quadro FX takes the leading computer aided design (CAD) and digital content creation (DCC) applications to a new level of interactivity by enabling unprecedented capabilities in programmability and precision. For the first time, styling and production rendering become integral functions of the design workflow, shortening the production process and enabling faster time to market.

With the power of NVIDIA SLI technology and the latest generation of Intel Dual and Quad Core Processors, you get the ability to connect two NVIDIA SLI-Ready PCI Express graphics cards for one intense Workstation experience. NVIDIA SLI Scalable Link Interface takes advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI Express bus architecture and features intelligent hardware and software that allows two GPUs to efficiently work together to deliver exceptional, scalable performance.

The Intel dual and quad core processor is an evolution in technology. Dual and Quad Core Processors have two or four physical full processing cores each with it’s own set of registers and cache. While both HT Technology and the Intel dual core processor can take advantage of multi-threaded applications, Intel dual core and quad core processing brings more resources to bear on computing tasks making your applications perform like never before. Applications such as Maya, 3DS Max, Lightwave, XSI and more are multi threaded and can take full advantage of dual and quad core processors.

Workstations based on the new Intel Core microarchitecture and its quad-core technology are giving workstation users unprecedented performance in quieter, cooler and potentially smaller packages. Users can iterate and innovate faster and compress the time between the idea and a product.

Performance, reliability and expandability have been integral in the design of our Intel Pentium Graphics Workstations, with a system board that features the latest chipsets, PCI Express graphics, Gigabit Ethernet Networking, USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394a (optional firewire 800 iEEE 1394b) support.

Intel Core2 Duo processor

Designed for entry-level single-processor desk-side, desktop and mobile platforms. It has the power of 2 high-performance computational cores and is based on the energy-efficient Intel Core2 family of processors.

Intel Core2 Quad processor

Designed for single-processor desk-side and desktop workstations with 4 execution cores, the Intel Core2 Quad processor blows through processor-intensive tasks in demanding multitasking and multithreaded environments to deliver affordable single-processor performance.

Intel Core2 Extreme processor

Designed as the best choice for single-processor workstations, including mobile workstations. It delivers the high performance demanded by most engineers, architects, animators and analysts.
