BOXX has launched the APEXX T4 PRO workstation, priced from $20,888, featuring AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series processors and support for up to four professional GPUs. This high-performance system is designed specifically for demanding media and entertainment applications, including motion media, rendering, and complex simulation, which are critical components of video production workflows.
The transition to local 8K environments and on-device AI model training is forcing a hardware refresh in production houses. By integrating the Zen 5-based Threadripper PRO and NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, BOXX provides a dense compute alternative to multi-socket server racks for vfx and rendering. This shift reflects a broader industry movement toward 'data sovereignty,' where studios reduce operational latency and cloud egress fees by processing complex simulations locally. As AI-augmented workflows become standard, the ability to balance ultra-high core counts with extreme memory bandwidth will separate efficient production pipelines from those bottlenecked by legacy infrastructure. Watch for AMD's expanding 'ROCm' software support on Windows to further bridge the gap between CPU-heavy rendering and GPU-driven AI.
BOXX first introduced the APEXX T4 PRO platform in November 2023 with AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 WX-Series processors, positioning it as the only liquid-cooled Threadripper PRO workstation on the market at launch. The company demonstrated the system at NAB Show 2025 in April, where CEO Kirk Schell described it as delivering "unrivaled, top-tier performance for all facets of post production, live broadcast, and virtual production." The NAB 2025 configuration paired the platform with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs and AMD Threadripper PRO 7000 WX-Series CPUs at up to 5.3GHz boost clock, targeting VFX, animation, compositing, and film editing workflows. The June 2026 refresh upgrades the processor to the Zen 5-based Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series while retaining the same chassis, liquid cooling, and four-GPU topology.
BOXX has expanded the APEXX T4 PRO line into a dedicated AI variant called the APEXX T4 PRO-X, which supports dual or quad NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs with a 2050W power supply and 12-slot PCIe expandability. The company positions the PRO-X specifically for PyTorch, TensorFlow, and NVIDIA Omniverse workloads alongside GPU rendering in DaVinci Resolve, Cinema 4D, and Autodesk VRED. This segmentation allows BOXX to address both traditional media production and local AI model training from a single platform family, with the standard T4 PRO starting at $18,989 for a 24-core configuration and scaling to the 96-core flagship.
The APEXX T4 PRO competes in the same professional workstation segment as systems built around Intel Xeon W-3400 series processors, which max out at 56 cores compared to AMD's 96-core Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series. BOXX claims the platform's 128 PCIe Gen 5.0 lanes and support for up to 2TB of DDR5-6400MHz ECC memory outpace competing dual-socket systems for single-threaded and multi-threaded creative workloads. The WRX90 chipset and sTRX5 socket architecture provide the memory bandwidth and lane count that GPU-intensive rendering and simulation applications require, distinguishing the PRO tier from the standard Threadripper 9000 line that BOXX also offers in its APEXX T4 configuration.
