Xeon W-11955M and i9-11950H both have same level of performance. Xeon one has ECC RAM support, while i9 doesn't support ECC RAM. If you don't want ECC RAM, you should select i9 instead of Xeon for saving money. If you want error correction, select Xeon one, and then you can ECC memory on laptop
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong group...  I am seeking advice on a new purchase.  My workflow:  I am a photographer by trade. I require speedy throughput, I copy and move up to 4000 images weekly.   I process large 40gb+ image files using mostly Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. Currently very little video or 3D rendering. I use multiple internal SSDs and variety of external SSDs, and I run 2 external monitors.  Sales initially recommended XPS-17 9710.  But this setup just throttles the machine config'd with i9 and NVIDAI GeForce RTX 3050 Ti., below: the current XPS which has stability connectivity issues and limitations, both with and without the dock (WD19DCS).  Sales now recommends this 7760 17" mobile workstation with XEON processor, (retail pricing $11k)  Dell Mobile Precision Workstation 7760 CTO 210-AYYC Intel Xeon Processor W-11955M (8 Core, 24MB Cache, 2.60GHz to 5.00GHz, 45W, vPro) 379-BELS Thermal For Graphics 490-BGQS NVIDIA RTX A5000 w/16 GB GDDR6 490-BGRC17.3" IPS UHD, 3840x2160, 120Hz, Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, 100% Adobe,500 Nits, HDR400, IR Cam/Mic,WLAN391-BFZQ64 GB, 2 x 32 GB, DDR4, 3200MHz, Non-ECC, SODIMM 370-AFXT M.2 2280 1 TB, Gen 4 PCIe x4 NVMe, Solid State Drive  My questions:1. Is the XEON processor or CORE i9 better to support my workflow?2. With XEON processor, is ECC memory required to suypport error correction?3. this the i9 processor a good alternative, or is this less powerful machine: 11th Gen Intel Core Processor i9-11950H (8 Core, 24MB Cache, 2.60GHz to 5.00GHz, (45W), vPro) with 64 GB, 4 x 16 GB, DDR, 3466MHz SuperSpeed, Non-ECC, SODIMM  Anoyone have any advice would be much appreciated... Any photographers out there??
