IBM Leads Support of Dual-Core
IBM today announced strong support for Dual-Core AMD Opteron(TM) processors in the IBM eServer and IntelliStation product lines with the introduction of a more robust, powerful workstation, the IntelliStation A Pro 6217.
IBM also announced today that the IBM eServer 326 high-performance 1U server line will be expanded to include the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors. In 2003, IBM was the first tier one OEM to introduce AMD Opteron support with their server and workstation line.
One of the first workstations on the market to feature AMD’s new Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor Model 275, the A Pro 6217 was designed with many of the reliable, innovative features of the IBM eServer xSeries.
IBM customers are using the IntelliStation series in diverse fields like engineering and digital content creation to facilitate tasks such as product design, movie production, chemical and petroleum, and chip manufacturing. One such customer is Santa Monica-based Luminetik Animation Studios, a 3D Animation and Visual Effects House.
Luminetik conducted extensive tests and found that the IBM IntelliStation A Pro delivered the highest quality image and solved every complex production issue the company faced, freeing up valuable time for its artists. In fact, IntelliStation allowed Luminetik to increase rendering speeds up to 1400 percent for very large projects.
