When equipped with a quad core, Hyper-Threaded Intel Core i7-3920XM Extreme Edition processor running at up to 3.8 GHz with 8MB of L3 cache, the Scorpius delivers "class-leading multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance," the company says.
The unit supports the 28nm NVIDIA Quadro workstation class graphics cards, including the Quadro K5000M, K4000M and K3000M cards. It can fit up to three storage drives with the third drive being co-shared with the optical drive.
