BOXX has launched the APEXX P4i workstation, featuring AMD EPYC 9005-Series processors and up to four NVIDIA RTX PRO GPUs. This system is designed for professional 3D content creation, rendering, and simulation workflows, including those important for effects and animation in streaming production.
The APEXX P4i addresses the escalating hardware requirements of high-end streaming production, where 8K mastering and AI-assisted effects are becoming standard. By using server-grade EPYC processors in a workstation, BOXX provides the massive core density required for CPU-based rendering while maintaining the PCIe lane richness needed for modern GPU clusters. This hybrid approach allows studios to consolidate heavy production workloads into fewer, more powerful nodes rather than sprawling render farms. For the broader industry, this launch signals a shift toward local high-performance computing as a necessary hedge against fluctuating cloud costs. Watch for increased adoption in virtual production environments where real-time engine stability depends on high-frequency host processors and multi-GPU peer-to-peer communication.
BOXX has been steadily expanding its professional workstation portfolio around AMD's latest silicon. At NAB Show 2025 in April, BOXX unveiled the APEXX T4 PRO featuring AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 WX-Series processors and NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Edition GPUs, positioning it as a purpose-built system for VFX, animation, compositing, and virtual production workflows. The APEXX P4i extends that strategy by moving up to server-grade EPYC 9005 processors, offering nearly double the core count of the Threadripper-based T4 PRO while maintaining the same liquid-cooled, multi-GPU chassis philosophy that BOXX has refined across its A-class and P-class product lines.
The APEXX P4i's use of AMD EPYC 9005 "Turin" processors places it in direct competition with dual-socket server workstations from Dell, HPE, and Lenovo that traditionally serve render farm and simulation roles. The Zen 5 architecture underlying these chips introduces a wider 512-bit data path for AVX-512 instructions, which accelerates the floating-point operations central to physics simulation and ray-traced rendering tasks common in streaming content production.
BOXX's broader product strategy reflects a deliberate push into on-premise high-performance computing for media and entertainment studios. In August 2024, BOXX announced that its APEXX, RAXX, and FLEXX workstation lines would adopt AMD Ryzen 9000 Series processors, becoming one of the first workstation vendors to ship the new architecture. The company's FLEXX data center workstation platform, designed for on-premise or remote installations, complements the P4i by offering a rack-optimized path for studios that need to scale beyond individual artist workstations while keeping compute local rather than relying entirely on cloud rendering services.
