BOXX Debuts World's Fastest Intel(R) Xeon(R) Dual Processor Workstation at SIGGRAPH

AUSTIN, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Jul 27, 2010 -- BOXX Technologies, the leading authority on dedicated rendering and innovator in high-performance computing systems for visual effects, post production, animation, design, and visualization, today announced that the 3DBOXX 8550 XXtreme workstation, a new, performance-enhanced addition to their heralded 3DBOXX 8500 Series, will be demonstrated at SIGGRAPH 2010, the annual computer graphics conference held in Los Angeles, July 25-29. Featuring dual, overclocked Intel Xeon 5600 Series processors and available with four NVIDIA® GPU's, 8550 XXtreme (at 4.2 GHz) is the fastest workstation in the world.

"XXtreme is the next generation of 3DBOXX 8500," said industry analyst Jon Peddie, President, Jon Peddie Research. "This overclocked, high performance workstation is a universally powerful, one-size-fits-all machine that can even accelerate single-threaded or poorly-threaded legacy apps which can't take advantage of the multicores. The performance of the XXtreme is so outstanding that its appeal will easily extend from digital artists to anyone, in any field, who is looking for the ultimate in workstation performance."

Capable of reaching 4.2 GHz, 8550 XXtreme features up to 12 cores of high-powered, multitasking performance for 3D design, animation, rendering, visualization, VFX compositing, video editing, and digital intermediate. Designed to accommodate multi-threading, multiple applications, and complex production pipelines, it offers six Intel Xeon Processor 5600 Series options and four NVIDIA® Quadro® FX, GeForce®, or Tesla™ GPU's (with support for seven in all). The result is faster performance, superior image quality, and a fully integrated and optimized workflow across all professional applications, enabling digital artists to create detailed designs in less time.

"We are enthusiastic about the 3BOXX 8500 Series and its use of the newest Intel Xeon Processor 5600 Series solution. With 12 cores, twenty-four threads, larger caches and faster frequencies, we think artists, designers, and engineers will be able to design, test, and visualize their ideas faster than ever before," said Tony Neal-Graves, general manager of Intel's Professional Workstation Group.

At SIGGRAPH 2010, 3DBOXX 8500 Series workstations will be demonstrating Bunkspeed® at NVIDIA booth #725, running V-Ray® at Chaos Group booth #612, and featured in a Luxology® software rendering demonstration (with BOXX renderPRO 12) at Intel Booth #512.
