Intel’s silicon Design engineers need significant increases in computing capacity to deliver each new generation of silicon chips. To meet those requirements, Intel IT conducts ongoing throughput performance tests using real-world Intel silicon Design workloads. These tests measure Electronic Design Automation (EDA) workload throughput and help us analyze the performance improvements—and in turn, business benefit offered by newer generations of Intel processors.
