Frequently Asked Questions
SOLIDWORKS is designed to take advantage of modern multicore CPU architectures, including AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ and Ryzen™ AI PRO mobile processors. These processors support the parallel workloads used in modeling, simulation, and rendering tasks within SOLIDWORKS.
Yes. AMD Ryzen™ processors offer high clock speeds and multiple cores, which align well with SOLIDWORKS workflows such as part modeling, feature rebuilds, and design validation. This helps deliver responsive performance for day-to-day CAD tasks.
Yes. AMD Ryzen™ AI PRO and AMD Radeon™ Pro GPU graphics solutions are certified by SOLIDWORKS.
SOLIDWORKS uses multithreading for specific tasks such as simulation, rendering, and drawing generation. AMD processors are built to support these multithreaded workloads efficiently, helping users reduce compute time for supported operations.
Yes. SOLIDWORKS is commonly deployed on professional workstations (both desktop and mobile) built on AMD platforms that support high memory bandwidth, PCIe connectivity, and modern I/O. These platform capabilities help support large assemblies, fast storage, and expansion needs. Certain AMD graphic solutions are certified by SOLIDWORKS.
AMD processors are well suited for SOLIDWORKS Simulation workloads that scale across multiple CPU cores. This makes them a strong option for users running finite element analysis, motion studies, or computationally intensive design validation tasks.
Consider your primary workload. High-frequency AMD Ryzen™ processors are often a good fit for interactive modeling. Memory capacity and system configuration are also important factors. In laptop format, an APU is fully supported using shared memory.
Refer to the system requirements and workstation guidance provided on this page and by SOLIDWORKS. These resources help ensure compatibility with supported operating systems, drivers, and hardware configurations using AMD processors.
A little known fact, AMD worked with SOLIDWORKS to develop the first 64 Bit mid-range modeler with SOLIDWORKS.
