I can confirm - I have a Precision 7670 in pretty much the top spec(i7-12850HX, 128GB ram, 3080Ti) and it's an absolute beast. It blows my previous HP Z5 workstation desktop out of the water, it improved my compilation times by half. Really made my work more productive thanks to the crazy spec.

Replace the thermal paste, or use liquid metal if your heatsink allows
