It offers four sizes ranging from 8 vCPU, 32 GB memory and one GPU to 48 vCPU, 192 GB memory and two GPUs. The Graphics G7 enables higher fidelity and frame rates for demanding professional applications such as CAD/CAM, 3D rendering, scientific visualization, video editing and AI-assisted design workflows. Each GPU features 32 GB GDDR7 memory, supporting larger and more complex 3D scenes and models. Running Windows and supporting bring-your-own-license, the Graphics G7 bundle is available for both WorkSpaces Personal and WorkSpaces Core in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio) and US West (Oregon), with additional regions coming as availability expands.

Why it matters
