apexx 8 now has the power of 32 cores!

Following closely on the heels of APEXX 4, APEXX 8 doubles the number of processors to eight for a total of 32 cores, and doubles the maximum memory to 128GB. 

APEXX 8 leverages the quiet and compact tower format that forms the base for APEXX 4. This means that the power of 32 cores is yours while maintaining a low acoustic signature. That is good news for those who depend on  the power of APEXX 8 for long-term projects.  

With APEXX 8 it is possible to work on very large data sets with ease. Complex programs can be run often in real-time. You can get faster feedback and that saves times on any project and can transform the way you approach your work.

 

 

"The best interactive lighting performance we have seen in SOFTIMAGE|XSI ever. We loaded a scene with Rock Falcon, one of our demo characters, and we can clearly see a significant speed increase with the interactive XSI render region. With a single CPU, it took us 4 minutes and 48 seconds to render the preview. When we switched to eight CPUs the preview took only 36 seconds - that's an average of 94% speed increase per CPU. Preview performance like this will drastically improve a 3D artist's productivity and cut down on coffee breaks."
