BOXX has introduced its new RAXX rackmount workstations, engineered for enterprise businesses and high-performance applications like VDI, multi-display, and broadcast. These systems feature Intel Xeon and AMD Threadripper Pro processors, alongside NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell GPUs, designed to accelerate tasks such as AI and GPU rendering. The RAXX line supports various configurations to optimize computational and creative workflows.
The transition to hardware-centric AI integration is shifting from experimentation to an engineering requirement for streaming operators. By bringing 96-core processing and Blackwell-generation GPU power into a 3U rackmount, BOXX addresses the immediate demand for localized AI training and high-fidelity broadcast graphics. This localized hardware approach counters the industry's previous reliance on cloud-only workflows, providing the lower latency required for real-time AI auto-cropping and server-side ad insertion. Watch for enterprise adoption rates of on-prem Blackwell hardware as providers seek to offset escalating cloud ingress and egress costs.
BOXX was among the first workstation manufacturers to ship systems with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition GPUs, announcing availability on March 18, 2025 across its APEXX deskside and RAXX rackmount form factors. BOXX stated it would offer the new Blackwell GPUs inside multiple workstation configurations as a supplier of NVIDIA-Certified Systems, with the RTX PRO 6000 delivering 125 TFLOPS of single-precision performance and up to 1.4x higher FP32 throughput over the previous generation. Bob Pette, NVIDIA's Vice President of Enterprise Platforms, noted that BOXX workstations accelerated by RTX PRO Blackwell GPUs enable professionals to run applications at peak performance without sacrificing reliability.
NVIDIA has positioned the RTX PRO Blackwell series as a foundation for its Media2 initiative, which targets real-time AI in live media and streaming pipelines. NVIDIA announced at GTC that RTX PRO Blackwell GPUs bring ninth-generation NVENC with 4:2:2 encoding support and sixth-generation NVDEC with doubled H.264 decoding throughput, capabilities directly relevant to broadcast facilities running live production, real-time augmented reality, and AI-driven video analytics. The Media2 initiative combines NVIDIA NIM microservices, AI Blueprints, and accelerated computing platforms to transform content creation, streaming, and live media workflows.
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition itself carries 96 GB of GDDR7 memory with ECC, 24,064 CUDA cores, 752 Tensor Cores, and 4,000 AI TOPS, making it the most powerful desktop GPU NVIDIA has produced. NVIDIA's product page highlights support for 4:2:2 chroma subsampling and enhanced AV1 and H.265 codec engines aimed at livestreaming, real-time editing, and live media workflows. BOXX also offers a Max-Q variant of the RTX PRO 6000 that reduces power consumption from 600W to 300W, enabling denser multi-GPU configurations in rackmount deployments where thermal and power budgets constrain full-size cards.
