Intel's newest Quad-Core Xeon processors have reclaimed Intel's reign as the king of server-class CPUs. The current Xeon chips significantly outperform AMD's fastest Opteron processors, which means that if you are looking for the absolute fastest, highest performing quad-core PC DAW system, this is THE way to go.
The Dual Xeon Premium system can handle extremely complex projects with very high track counts in Nuendo, SONAR, ProTools HD, Sequoia / Samplitude, or Cubase SX, all while streaming hundreds of samples, using tons of plug-ins, and all with as little latency as possible with a host-based processing system. This system is also great for video editing and rendering (please call us if you want a system for video editing or rendering, as video card options for professional rendering applications in particular are much different than for audio) and CAD / 3D design.
Our Dual Xeon Premium systems feature the Intel 5000X server-class chipset and TONS of I/O capability - USB 2.0, Firewire, Ethernet, dual-head graphics (triple-head optional), and much more.
As with all of our systems, our Dual Xeon systems are built to run silently for easy integration into any studio environment. They are compatible with all major audio software platforms and all currently available audio interfaces (PCI, PCI-E and Firewire).
