workstation

High-performance desktop computer with strong graphics capabilities, traditionally used for engineering (CAD and CAM), scientific research, and desktop publishing. From 1985 to 1995 workstations were frequently based on fast RISC (reduced instruction-set computer) chips running the Unix operating system. However, the market is under attack from ‘Wintel’ PCs with Intel Pentium processors running Microsoft Windows NT, which are cheaper and run PC software as well as workstation programs.
