The ideal money-is-no-object configuration would be a dual socket system with many cores and high-performance cooling to keep single-thread performance as high as possible. This means that you can both a high core-count AND high clock speed. NX also makes a strong case for a dual socket computer where the thermal load is spread between two separate CPU dies. Of course another strategy is to use better cooling on high core-count CPUs to allow for more thermal leeway. This usually means Xeons with 12 or 8 cores. It is therefore worth looking for a processor that has a small difference between its turbo speed and nominal minimum. If all cores are fully loaded they may drop down by nearly half as much in terms of frequency. So a Xeon processor with a 3.5Ghz turbo frequency will only achieve those speeds if you are only using a fraction of its cores.

The problem is that the more cores you have on a single die the lower the available thermal limit is for each active core. It is appetite for threads is not unlimited however, so single threaded performance still matters a lot. Unlike AutoCAD which will run on very modest machines and is for the most part single threaded, NX is a well-threaded application. What really matters to NX is not your OS, but the hardware you give it to work with.
UG NX SOFTWARE MAC
NX will run on Mac OS, Unix-like systems and any Windows version from XP onwards.

UG NX SOFTWARE SOFTWARE
As soon as a piece of software needs to accurately simulate real-world physics we move into the realm of high-performance computing and therefore choosing the right machine to run NX is a very important consideration if you want to complete job in a timely fashion. This means that NX is more than just a design package, but also a system for engineering simulation and manufacturing. Siemens NX brings these highly specialised, high-end CAD, CAM,CAE and PLM functions to desktop workstations. While software like AutoCAD serves the vast majority of design needs for large sections of the design and engineering industry, there is still a lot of scope for truly high-end design applications.
