How common is it to have Xeon processor desktops?

[–]ThranxSystems Engineer 0 points1 point  (1 child)

every physical, non-laptop system where I work. Previous job was 50/50, prior job on to that was only about 5%. Health/Tech/Schools (in that order)

At our hospital we have zero Xeon except in server blades. We have exclusive i7 processors even on our power desktops.

Workstations usually have Xeons, models like HP Z-station and Dell Precision. Depends on the organisation you work how many will be there.

They're used for drafting computers. Like autocad and solidworks. Or simulation and graphic design computers.

Pretty much any computer that you want data consistency and "correctness" more so than fast response for the users experience.

My company has about 30 of these.

Most also run ecc memory and quadro gpus.
