GoBOXX 2725 released - 12 Xeon Cores In One Laptop

With 12 cores (24 threads) the GoBOXX 2725 is perfect for rendering, design visualization and simulation

The latest high-end workstation from BOXX was released this week. Only this workstation isn't a "workstation" per se, it's a laptop a that features a true workstation Xeon processor with up to twelve cores. The new GoBOXX 2725 is equipped to tackle the most demanding professional applications in your office, or anywhere one the road.

BOXX at Autodesk University booth 2122

If you are attending Autodesk University in Las Vegas next week, be sure to visit BOXX at booth 2122. We'll have an assortment of guest demo experts showing off the latest software advancements on our fleet our high-end workstations and render servers fine tuned to maximize your productivity.

Oldest BOXX Contest Winner Announced

Congrats to the winner of the oldest BOXX contest! Take a look at the "You've Been BOXXed" video below.

BOXX's John Vondrak and cartoonist/animator M. Wartella put one over on Andrew Pingle (the winner of the oldest BOXX workstation) and surprised him with the news that he's won a new 3DBOXX 4150 XTREME. Stay for the end--it's worth it!

GPU Rendering Ready For Prime Time?

GPU rendering has been slowly advancing since arriving on the scene several years ago. While the technology can significantly redude render times, the widespread use of GPU-accelerated engines for final frame production rendering has yet to materialize. In this article, we'll take a look at how the landscape is set to change with Chaos Group's V-Ray 3.0 beta. We'll also talk about the recent launch of BOXX's unique GPU Edition workstations that can get you rendering faster than you’ve ever imagined.

Don't Be A Bottleneck Villain

BOXX exists to serve very specific markets just like yours. Over the past 15 years, we have become experts in addressing the pain points of our customers. Complicated workflows are the norm when it comes to digital content creation, architectural design, engineering, simulation, and product visualization. A "one size fits all" approach to IT, and particularly the hardware chosen to run these applications, will more than likely lead to lost productivity and ultimately, a negative impact on your bottom line.

High Frequency and Redundant Cores

In computing, common sense says that the more CPUs you have at your disposal, the faster your machine will complete its tasks and the more productive you will be. In reality, the ability of a software application to take advantage of multiple CPU cores is dictated by whether the application is single threaded or multi-threaded. Most of you are familiar with this concept, but we think it’s worth digging a little deeper into how this affects CAD applications.

More Cores. New Chassis.

This week Intel launched their new Ivy Bridge E processors. This update opens up a wide variety of configuration options for users of multi-threaded applications. BOXX is now offering single CPU systems with up to 12 cores and dual CPU workstations and render nodes with up to 24 cores.
