Xeon vs Ryzen for engineering

Based on Passmark’s CPU comparisons, the Ryzen 5850u absolutely wallops the Xeon 1535m. In general, the only real advantage of a Xeon system is the ability to support ECC memory, which most people don’t need, and potentially working with a couple more instruction sets than contemporary hardware, whi

Thinkpad p50 battery life

A Xeon-equipped workstation that draws 100W under load will never get good battery life, especially if factoring in battery degradation that's inevitable on a eight-year-old system. Read the contemporary notebookcheck review for some pretty accurate data on what to expect. Be aware that the machine
