#629 pues si siguen sin dar soporte a multi thread terminará siendo reemplazado por otros programas. Si solo vas a usar ese programa pone un i7 que es lo que recomiendan (lol) pero no va a ser una buena inversión a largo plazo
Given the age and the "maturity" of Solidworks, the lack of support for multi-core CPU's means that in a very real sense, this program is firm stuck in the previous century. Now that 32 physical core workstation chips can be had for a nominal sum this glaring omission has become down right criminal. Consequently, from a management perspective the monetary cost associated with the time lost to waiting on the program is now a major factor limiting ROI. Not to mention the constraints such limitations and constraints it this lack of support places on the design process itself. IMHO of course.
What fascinates me is the fact that Solidworks is hardly the only software imposing this burden on users. Software, any software that cannot support and leverage multi-core (>8 physical cores) has essentially become a deadman walking. Again IMHO.
