Computational Fluid Dynamics
CFD, FEA and mesh computation
Sized by memory speed and your solver licence.

Most important first
What this work needs
1
Bandwidth per core, and cores matched to your licence
Match cores to your licence, and give every core memory bandwidth.
2
Eight memory channels, all populated
Empty memory channels are the commonest way a CFD machine runs at half speed.
3
Professional card memory for the GPU-native solvers
GPU solvers need the whole case to fit in the card's memory.
Where money gets wasted
The highest core count. Past your licence, extra cores sit unused.
