BOXX Technologies has announced that the 3DBOXX 8550 XTREME, the fastest workstation in the world, and renderPRO, the personal desk side rendering option, have been selected by Intel for demonstrations this week at both the Autodesk One Team Conference (OTC) in Las Vegas, NV and the Game Developer's Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, CA. In related news, Boston Limited will demonstrate the 3DBOXX 8550 XTREME at CeBIT 2011 in Hanover, Germany.

"The fact that BOXX has been selected as the demonstration platform at three uniquely separate events illustrates the universal appeal of this record-setting solution," said Shoaib Mohammad, Director of Marketing and Business Development at BOXX. "With XTREME, artists, designers, and engineers are able to design, test, and visualize their ideas faster than ever before and that is what makes this the ultimate professional workstation."

Capable of reaching 4.3 GHz, 8550 XTREME features up to 12 cores of high-powered, multitasking performance for 3D design, animation, rendering, visualization, VFX compositing, video editing, and digital intermediate. Designed to accommodate multi-threading, multiple applications, and complex production pipelines, it offers six Intel Xeon Processor 5600 Series options and four NVIDIA Quadro FX, GeForce, or Tesla GPU's (with support for seven in all).

"Attendees who experience these demos will quickly realize that XTREME's performance will enable them to create detailed designs in less time thanks to faster performance, superior image quality, and a fully integrated and optimized workflow across all professional applications," said Mohammad.

Held February 26 - March 4 at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, Autodesk OTC is the most important sales and leadership event for Autodesk employees and partners, offering unique networking, informational, and business opportunities. At this event, Intel will employ the 8550 XTREME and renderPRO for satellite rendering demonstrations featuring Autodesk 3ds Max and Showcase.
