Austin, Texas October 17, 2007 BOXX Technologies Inc., an innovator in high-performance computing systems for visual effects (VFX) professionals, today announced test results conducted by BOXX Labs regarding the speed in which the companys 3DBOXX 7500 and RTX 7500 VFX workstations perform using the new AMD Quad-Core Opteron.
The tests determined that BOXXs 3DBOXX 7500 and RTX 7500 VFX workstations running 3rd generation AMD Quad-Core Opteron processors render in half the time as the same workstations running on 2nd generation Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors of the same speed.
We knew that the new Quad-Core Opteron would significantly cut rendering time, but we wanted to run independent tests to prove it so that we could provide measurable results for our VFX customers, said Francois Wolf, Director of Marketing for BOXX Technologies.
The Quad-Core Opteron brings to the table more floating point power, which is critical because ray tracing, the heart of rendering, is a floating point intensive computation.
BOXXs APEXX 8 Super Workstation is now available with 3rd generation Quad-Core Opteron processors. With its 8 processors running a single OS, APEXX 8 now features the power of 32 cores to smoothly tackle the most complex challenges in color correction, or to easily simulate complex naturalistic effects involving water, cloth or hair.
