Explanation
CAD (Computer-Aided Drafting) and CAM (Computer-Aided Modeling) are extremely CPU- and memory-bandwidth-intensive workloads. The Socket 1366 CPU (E) was Intel's high-end desktop platform (LGA 1366, Core i7 Extreme series) designed for performance workstations, supporting triple-channel memory. Triple-channel memory (A) provides significantly more memory bandwidth than dual-channel, which directly benefits rendering and 3D modeling. Onboard graphics (D) is inadequate for CAD/CAM - a dedicated GPU is needed. A MIDI sound card (B) is irrelevant to drafting/modeling. Socket 1156 (C) only supported dual-channel memory and was a mid-range platform, less suited for this workload.
