Box 3296, Northbrook, IL 60065-3296. More than 21 percent of respondents either don't know the difference between a consumer-level and a workstation-level CPU, or say it doesn't matter. Of the 69 per- cent who have an opinion, only 32 percent felt a workstation needed what is consid- ered a workstation-class CPU, such as an AMD Ryzen or Intel Xeon. Respondents largely discount the impor- tance of ISV certification, considered an essential element of a professional worksta- tion. Only about half of those surveyed think that certification is critical or even useful to have, while a surprising 30 percent say it isn't needed. Fiy-five percent of respondents do not identify ECC as an essential differentiator be- tween a PC and a professional workstation. Extra reliability designed into workstations and the rigorous testing during the R&D process do make a difference to workstation users, but most non-workstation users think a commercial-grade system is good enough to be considered a workstation. As a result of this confusion, several workstations suppliers break the first of the workstation laws and substitute a consumer- grade CPU for the workstation- class version. That denies the user the protection of error-correcting memory, security features, and sometimes applica- tion certification. And, those unofficial workstations get counted in the total of workstation shipments. The laws of workstations will continue to be broken as users try to cut costs by making changes to their machines. It's ironic, and telling. If you have a mission-crucial project, do you try to save maybe $1,000 on hardware and put the project at risk? Or, do you just want the status of saying you have a workstation and what you're doing isn't really that important or critical? One of the major reasons for the existence of a workstation is their "24/7 almost never fail capability." That's like the old days, as seat belts were being mandated and people would say, "I don't need seat belts, I'm a safe driver." A lot of safe drivers have been in car crashes and damn glad they had seat belts. The workstation market is, and has been, growing for a reason — safety of a project. n Dr. Jon Peddie(jon@jonpeddie.com) is a recog- nized pioneer in the graphics industry, president of Jon Peddie Research, a Tiburon, CA-based consul- tancy specializing in graphics and multimedia that also publishes JPR's "TechWatch," and named one of the most influential analysts in the world. "Top-quality components and professional video cards, such as Nvidia Quadro, are still a must-have to qualify as a good workstation." Robert Bragaglia Marketing director at @Xi Computer furthering virtual production through ad- vancements in Unreal Engine for creators across all media. The company has dedicated resources and support for the development of Unreal Engine outside of traditional game applications, and a major area of focus has been on VFX and animation for film and TV. In MovieLabs' 2019 whitepaper on the evolution of media creation, industry ex- perts present a vision for production in the year 2030 where workflows are designed around real-time iteration and feedback. The use of real-time game engines across entire production chains is making this possible for early adopters today. As we make the push for widespread adoption of virtual production techniques across the film and television production industry worldwide, we will continue to evolve Unreal Engine to enable artists and filmmakers to fulfill their wildest creative visions. n Marc Petit is the general manager of Unreal Engine at Epic Games.
