AUSTIN, TEXAS, January 15, 2009-BOXX Technologies, an innovator in high-performance computing systems for visual effects (VFX), design professionals, and advanced visualization, today announced the release of the 3DBOXX 4850 Extreme Workstation, the most powerful single processor workstation ever designed. The 4850 Extreme outperforms the fastest dual Intel(r) Xeon(tm) processor workstations from Apple(r), Dell(r) and HP(r) when running professional compositing applications, and rivals their speed for professional 3D applications.

Powered by new Intel Core(tm) i7 technology running at 4GHz, the 3DBOXX4850 Extreme has been carefully engineered and equipped with features like liquid cooling in order to withstand the rigors of intense digital content creation workflows. "For memory-intensive, CPU-heavy tasks such as 2D compositing, image processing and particle/fluid simulation, this machine absolutely dominates virtually all other single or dual CPU workstations we've tested to date-at ANY price point," said Shoaib Mohammad, Director of Marketing and Business Development at BOXX.

BOXXLabs, the research and development arm of BOXX Technologies, posted benchmarks which reveal that for professional applications like Autodesk(r) 3ds Max(r) with V-Ray(r) and Autodesk Maya(r) with mental ray(r), 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 which 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(r), Adobe(r) After Effects(r) and Photoshop(r).

Added to the performance benchmarks, the 3DBOXX 4850 Extreme sets a new standard for providing high performance solutions to budget conscious creative professionals and studios. Though it clearly equals and outperforms the Intel Xeon dual processor systems from Apple, Dell, and HP, 4850 Extreme is priced thousands of dollars below those systems. "At BOXX, we provide solutions for our customers. In these economically challenging times, we chose to provide a workstation so powerful that it outperforms the competition, yet still fits into the budget of digital artists and studios," said BOXX Sales Director, John Civatte. With system integrated design backed by BOXX Technical Support, the new 3DBOXX 4850 Extreme features the Microsoft(r) Vista(r) 64 operating system and offers digital artists and studios the benefit of true desktop rendering and multitasking with several creative software applications.
