It is well specified optimized processor and optimized component for me it remains telling:
Hello, where I work we use DELL machines with Intel Xeon Processor W-2225 (4C 4.1GHz). They are good but now DELL doesn't offer them anymore... DELL is replacing them with an Intel Xeon W5-2545 (30 MB cache, 12 cores, 24 threads, 3.5 GHz) which for me has no interest.
On the other hand, I could see that AMD offers basic high frequency procs but I have never tested... In short, I still have to investigate.
I'm intervening on this discussion not to tell you about my config problems, but to share my opinion on FRA SYS machines. They are really better, we gain 30% efficiency in SW. Benchmarks were carried out comparing the best DELL config to the best FRA SYS config. If your company has the means, don't hesitate.

What does this mean in terms of prices?
5150e with 5 years warranty for the most efficient configuration.
Thanks for the info.
Are there big differences with the low-performance configurations?
Yes. Is the ultra the 5150€ one?
Hi @Cyril.f .
I thought I saw that the new i5s handled ECC error-correcting memory (while there were only Xeons that did it at the time).
I think that explains it.

The difference in optimizations depends in my opinion more on the software than on the hardware.
The choice of components influences the working power, less so its stability. Except in cases where it's a lack of power badly managed by SW that destabilizes him.
The adjustment and use of the components, on the other hand, can greatly affect its stability if they are bad. And the default settings are far from being systematically the best suited.
Even when a machine speeds up SolidWorks, it is SolidWorks that slows down the machine.

SW will always be the program that makes the machine slow down.
What we ask of it can only solicit the machine, much more than open pdfs or text documents, it's like comparing the power used by an F1 car to a 2CV.
This is why some people start on CAD optimized PCs.
And I don't quite agree, it's often when a PC is limited in power that the software crashes, whether it's for a game or SW for example. (limit in RAM or CPU maybe or even both)
And yes SW could certainly improve this point but if PC badly configured or power limit = accentuated crash
