Professional workstations

Workstations built around your workflow

From CAD and 3D to video, simulation and AI, we configure every Utopia workstation around the software you use and the work you need to get done.

Meet Sonox

Six workstations. One principle. Build the right machine for the work.

Compact to heavily expandable, for CAD, design, content and simulation.

When the work is the GPU rather than the desktop around it.

Built around your software

A workstation for SolidWorks shouldn't be configured like one for Blender. Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Revit and local AI all place very different demands on the hardware.

We look at the software you use, the size of your projects and where your current system slows you down before we recommend the specification.

The fastest component isn't always the fastest workstation.

Common software

CAD workstations live or die on responsive modelling and viewport performance, which usually comes down to the balance of processor speed, memory and professional graphics rather than any one headline figure. More cores don't automatically make CAD feel faster, and the packages don't all behave the same way.

Common software

A 3D rendering workstation can look completely different depending on whether the job is modelling, animation, CPU rendering or GPU rendering. Where the render actually happens is what decides whether GPU performance and VRAM become the limit, or whether the processor does.

Sonox G2

Dual GPU capability makes this the natural starting point where GPU rendering becomes a major part of the workflow.

Common software

Editing, grading and motion graphics depend on how the processor, graphics, memory and storage work together, and on the codecs you actually deliver in. A machine that flies through one format can struggle with another, which is why the timeline matters more than the benchmark.

Sonox

The standard Sonox is the sensible starting point. Heavier production workflows may need more, and we'll say so.

Common software

  • CUDA workloads
  • Local AI
  • Machine learning
  • Model development

On an AI workstation, GPU performance and VRAM tend to decide which models and datasets are practical to run locally at all. The biggest GPU isn't always the right upgrade - it depends what you're running, and how much of it has to fit in memory at once.
