I read that article and quite frankly was startled. Xeon 44 core? At least 64 GB RAM? Nvidia Quadro M-series? Whoaa... isn't all this a bit steep? Can anyone explain why I should spend thousands of euro's on a machine running Revit?
From my point of view, having a processor with lots of cores is pretty useless for Revit - most work Revit does is single-threaded. A high clock speed is more beneficial in that case. Ok, maybe if you have 44 applications open at the same time one could benefit of all those cores. Then the amount of RAM. The average Revit project hardly uses 16 GB of RAM. I would settle for 32 GB.
And last, the video card. As far as I know Revit doesn't use any advanced features of video cards. Rendering pictures is done in the cloud anyway.
This is my opinion - I wonder what yours is regarding the article?
