The editorial manager of Mynavi News is a serious review! What is the appeal of Epson Direct "Pro9050a"?

Aiming at the high-end desktop market!

The power of AMD Ryzen processors has been covered in many articles so far, but in the high-end desktop market, which was originally dominated by Intel, another option It has great value just by adding . AMD has been a little avoided for corporate use, but the Ryzen series is attracting a lot of attention, and the number of cases where it is adopted is increasing. Many of them are active in a wide range of fields, from business use such as development, analysis, and design to academic calculations at universities, taking advantage of their high processing power. Even in the consumer sector, it has gained support from many users, such as being adopted as a platform for gaming PCs.

The Epson Direct new model “Pro9050a” introduced this time is equipped with the AMD Ryzen 5000 series and is a model that demonstrates monster-class performance in combination with high-end graphics.

Simple design with eye-catching red lines

Kasahara check!

The first thing I thought when I saw the "Pro9050a" was the exterior design. With only a white base, it gives the impression of being for corporations, but the red color gives it an elegant image. It's kind of exciting to be able to imagine a mobile suit that appears in a certain mobile suit series for generations (laughs). I also like that it has a carrying handle. If you use it like a workstation, it's convenient because you have to move around quite a lot.

For professionals, it is also a good impression that the necessary front 5-inch bay is properly prepared. It seems that it is easy to use because the front terminals are also equipped with necessary and sufficient items.

In terms of the case, most of the parts are screwdriverless, so maintenance and expansion of parts are easy. It is a specification that conveys sturdiness, such as a stay for a solid graphics board.

Epson's new Pro series has evolved into a structure that prevents malfunction due to terminal distortion and poor contact due to load. You can also change the size if you want to change the size or the position of the power connector by replacing the graphics board.

The "Pro9050a" is a product with built-in high specs in a tower-type housing. This AMD model has a white-based design with red accents (Intel models are blue). In addition to the parts that Mr. Kasahara touched, the point is that you can directly access the storage by pulling out the lower part of the front panel, making maintenance and replacement easy. The size of the case is about 216.8 x 498.7 x 470.8mm (including carrying handle).

What specs are you interested in?

The evaluation machine is a combination of AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, so in the sense of AMD's high-end desktop PC, it is a steel plate specification I think. I think that the NVIDIA Quadro series is also necessary for professional use, but it is safe because it can be selected with BTO.

Because it is a B550 chipset, PCIe-x16 and M.2 2280 are Gen4 compatible and highly expandable, and memory can be expanded up to 4 slots. I think that it is a specification that there is no more than this, such as being able to expand up to 128GB with. 16 cores and 32 threads are powerful.

The power supply unit has a sufficient capacity of 1000W, so you can rest assured. Since the motherboard is full size, there is room in the layout, and expansion to PCI Express is easy. Overall, if you take full advantage of the specs, you can get performance that can be used as an AMD platform workstation, so it seems to be used for various purposes.

With "Pro9050a", AMD Ryzen 5000 series for CPU, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 or more board for graphics can be selected. For other detailed specifications, please refer to the separate table, but the feature of these parts is that they are checked in advance for quality and compatibility. Epson Direct is also attractive because it is a combination of products that have already cleared compatibility issues that are difficult to deal with by making your own, so you can expect stable operation.

Uses are endless!? Utilizing the strengths of BTO

Check Kasahara!

Even in work such as design and development, there will be times when expensive workstations cannot be introduced in startups or SOHO due to budget constraints. . Even in such a case, with the "Pro9050a", you can get high performance while keeping costs down, partly because it is based on AMD.

It's a great replacement for the workstation you're already using, and more and more software is optimized for AMD platforms. So it should be the best option for those who want to have an AMD machine in their company. Also, the specifications of the evaluation machine are close to the current high-end gaming PC models. It's a balance with the cost, but I think it will be a very rewarding model even if gamers and freelance creators choose it, so I'd like those people to see it.

At Epson Direct, the target of "Pro9050a" is video production / editing / distribution companies, 3DCG production, game development creators such as product design and BIM / CIM etc. by combining with NVIDIA Quadro series. A wide range of use cases are assumed, including modeling simulation of

BTO can be used to optimize the CPU and graphics used, so it is possible to build a machine with highly cost-effective specifications, so it is also a point that can not be overlooked that it can cover a wide range of industries. It can be a machine that can be used sufficiently for personal use, so it would be good to fully understand the merits of Epson Direct and decide the specifications.

The attractive support that only Epson can provide

Check Kasahara!

What really surprises me is "up to 6 years maintenance". If you are not very confident in the product, you cannot provide such long-term support. In the first place, it is a product that needs to be considered even for long-term operation with 100% resource usage, so I am very grateful for this support.

In addition, "2-day shipping" and "1-day repair" are perfect for people in industries where work cannot be stopped. hey. In both cases, we take advantage of the advantages of domestic production, but when it comes to SOHO and freelance creators, there are times when it is difficult to prepare a spare machine. I think one of the strengths of Epson Direct is the ability to provide Japan-quality support.

Epson Direct's desktop PCs can receive maintenance for a standard period of 1 year, and up to 6 years including a paid period. For the first year, the repair fee, shipping fee, and parts fee are free. From the second year, the repair fee and delivery fee will be charged, but the parts fee will remain free (charged from the fourth year onwards).

In addition, there is also a "flat-rate maintenance service" that provides a long-term warranty of up to 6 years. It is a more generous support than a normal warranty, and in addition to holding repairs at the repair center, you can also receive on-site repair services. The fee varies depending on the contract year, but if it is a corporation, there is a great advantage that the maintenance fee can be budgeted in advance. Since it is a high-end class machine, maintenance is a very important point. You can check the details of Epson Direct's generous maintenance service on the web, so it would be a good idea to check it out in advance.
