BOXX Technologies (Austin, TX), which offers high-performance computing (HPC) systems for visual effects (VFX), design professionals, and advanced visualization, released the 3DBOXX 4850 Extreme Workstation, which the company claims “is the most powerful single processor workstation ever designed.”

Powered by new Intel Core i7 technology running at 4GHz, the 3DBOXX4850 Extreme has been engineered and equipped with liquid cooling to withstand intense digital content creation (DCC) workflows.

BOXXLabs, the R&D arm of BOXX Technologies, posted benchmarks which reveal that for professional applications like Autodesk 3ds Max with V-Ray and Autodesk Maya with mental ray, the 3DBOXX 4850 Extreme rivals the rendering speed and in-application interactivity of the fastest dual Intel Xeon processor workstations in the industry.

Intel Core i7 architecture with DDR3 provides outstanding memory bandwidth that allows the 4850 Extreme to rival and often outperform the fastest dual Intel Xeon processor workstations for specific 2D compositing and image processing tasks in applications like Autodesk Combustion, Adobe After Effects, and Photoshop.

With system integrated design backed by BOXX Technical Support, the new 3DBOXX 4850 Extreme features the Microsoft Vista 64 OS and offers digital artists and studios the benefit of true desktop rendering and multitasking with several creative software applications.
