BOXX Demos Fastest Intel-based SOLIDWORKS Workstation at SOLIDWORKS World

February 11, 2019

AUSTIN, TEXAS, Feb. 11, 2019 — BOXX Technologies, a leading innovator of high-performance workstations, rendering systems, and servers, today announced that APEXX Enigma S3, the world’s fastest workstation, will be demonstrated at BOXX booth #606 at SOLIDWORKS World 2019, through Feb.13, at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, Texas. A Dassault Systèmes Corporate Partner, designated SOLIDWORKS Solution Partner, and leading manufacturer of CATIA and SOLIDWORKS-certified workstations, BOXX will also showcase APEXX T3, an AMD Ryzen Threadripper workstation, as well as GoBOXX mobile workstations, and the APEXX W8R server. BOXX will once again offer the SOLIDWORKS Test Drive, which allows attendees to test systems by bringing along their own assemblies.

“BOXX engineers are SOLIDWORKS users,” said BOXX VP of Marketing Bill Leasure. “That experience ensures a clear understanding of engineering and product design workflows, as well as which configurations provide optimal application performance. Our new APEXX Enigma S3 is the embodiment of that expertise.”

The latest addition to the APEXX S-class line (which includes the best-selling APEXX S3), APEXX Enigma S3 features the latest Intel Core i7 or 19 processor overclocked to 5.1GHz. The liquid-cooled system sustains that frequency across all eight cores—even in the most demanding situations. 9th generation Intel processors offer a significant performance increase over previous Intel technology and BOXX is the only workstation manufacturer providing the new micro architecture professionally overclocked and backed by a three-year warranty. Offering all the features of the flagship APEXX S3, Enigma accelerates professional CAD and 3D, but as an added bonus, also delivers optimal support for multi-GPU tasks. Supporting a wider range of GPUs and backed by a 1000 watt power supply, Enigma is configurable with two full-size GPUs (like the new NVIDIA® Quadro RTX™) and equipped with a motherboard that offers full bandwidth dual x16 PCIe lanes (twice as many as S3) accelerating GPU performance and functionality.

Along with the Enigma S3, attendees will have an opportunity to see the APEXX T3 workstation demonstrate SOLIDWORKS 2019, supported by a 32-core Ryzen Threadripper processor. The BOXX booth will also be home to a SOLIDWORKS demonstration featuring the new GoBOXX MXL mobile workstation. Designed for users on-the-go, GoBOXX MXL features a true desktop-class, eight-core, 9th generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor, NVIDIA Quadro graphics, and up to 64GB of RAM. Also on hand will be the ultra-thin GoBOXX SLM. Featuring a six-core, Intel Core i7 processor and professional NVIDIA Quadro graphics on a 15″ full HD (1920×1080)

display, GoBOXX SLM provides ample performance and reliability, enabling engineers and product designers to work from anywhere. Rounding out BOXX products is the APEXX W8R, a rack-mounted system designed for GPU-accelerated rendering. Featuring an Intel Xeon W processor and configurable with up to eight professional, dual-width NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards, W8R will demonstrate SOLIDWORKS Visualize. In addition to a broad range of products and the SOLIDWORKS Test Drive offer, BOXX will also provide information on their SOLIDWORKS User Group (SWUG) sponsorships.

“Our booth is a primary destination for SOLIDWORKS World attendees,” said Leasure. “We offer consultation with experts, allow user participation in our demos, and help SOLIDWORKS users determine firsthand which BOXX solutions will enable them to work faster than ever before.”
