4x4 AMD Quad FX!
AMD® is countering the Intel® Quad-Core with a dual processor capable motherboard ASUS® L1N64, sporting 4 PCIe at 16x for the ultimate SLI performance and un-buffered DDR2 800MHz RAM among other goodies. The new FX-70, FX72 and FX-74 come at 2.6, 2.8 & 3GHz clock speed with a performance above the Opteron™ 2220 at basically almost half the price. Even though preliminary benchmarks still show the Intel holding the absolute performance crown, this AMD solution has few advantages of its own. Among them are a competitive price for the low-end clock and scalability to a second dual core CPU at a later time, while the multithread software is catching up. At the FX-72 level, with 2 CPU installed, the amount of power/heat to dissipate is quite substantial and the price advantage is a bit diminished by the extra cooling required. We teamed up with Thermaltake™ with a Dual Channel Air Guide case, the Armor™ Extreme, to keep both processors cool and assure future scalability to higher speed and 8 cores in 2007. In Stock Now!

@Xi® The Fastest Workstation!
We do not have to change the title, dejavu again and again. While our competitors tried to follow with the same configuration (Intel® based) of the previous review, we gave them a new lesson in the art of system integration. Our Xi® MTower^TM 64SLI, with the Athlon^TM FX55 (2.6GHz) and NVIDIA®  NForce^TM 4 SLI chipset motherboard,  Quadro^TM FX4400 PCIe got the fastest result on CADalyst June 2005 Workstations Roundup review. CADalyst give us the fastest record-breaking score with our  Xi® MTower 2P64 Workstation  dual processor Opteron based. Quite an impressive result, a dual CPU system is finally outperforming the fastest single processors. Well, of course @Xi Computer is the workstation leader! Any doubts?  OK, PC-WORLD gives us the #1 spot with the MTower AGE-SLI, still same FX55 and same chipset, with an NVIDA FX6800 Ultra, over 10% faster than the second best... we are good! More confirmations? CATIA community just did it's annual workstation roundup. Guess who got 5 stars and the fastest system performance? You can read it here, requires a free registration.

 FX57, Dual Core Athlon^TM & Opteron^TM
AMD® announced today the availability of its fastest to date processor the Athlon FX57, clocked at 2.8GHz, consolidating his position with the most powerful single core CPU. That's just the beginning, we are just shipping the first Dual Core 4400, 4800 Athlon^TM and the 270, 275 and 875 Opteron^TM. Confusing? A Dual Core is a single chip containing two CPU with it's own independent cache sharing the memory controller that interfaces with the outer world. The 4400 and 4800 allows dual CPU power on a single processor motherboard, a new level of affordability for a workstation. The 270 and 275, being utilized on a dual processor board, give you 4 (four) CPUs total.  If  you have a multithread application that will take advantage, or multiple applications competing for power, this it the answer. Ultimately the 875 is a Dual Core CPU that installed in our quad motherboard allows you 8 CPU total. Never such power has been so affordable, dense and reliable.  The NVIDIA® GeForce 7800GTX and the Intel® Pentium® D, Dual Core are among the other new offerings.  They are all shipping now!

PCI-Express™ SLI™!

After careful testing we have validated PCI-Express™ based systems both single and dual processor based on the Intel® Pentium™ 4 and XEON™ processors. Intel has been the promoter of this new graphic interface that is initially capable of twice the bandwidth of the AGP 8X "old" interface to 4Gbyte/sec. In addition to a higher bandwidth, the PCI-Express interface allows easy scalability with 2 PCI-E interfaces on the same motherboard. The advantages are multiples: Better graphic performance, balanced 3D performance with 4 screens configuration and the ability to use Multiple Graphics Units (GPU) for a single screen presentation. Nvidia® is the leader in this concept with the introduction of the SLI™ (Scalable Link Interface) concept offering unsurpassed performance, by using multiple Graphic Processors resident on multiple graphics cards. At present we offer a XEON™ based Xi® MTower™ DPX with SLI™ dual PCI-Express™ technology with dual Nvidia® Quadro™ FX 1300 and 3400. Single processor PCI-E technology is coupled with DDR2 533MHz (over-clock-able to 600MHz) in our Xi® 3600 MTower™ SP Pentium™ 4 3.6GHz. May it be next fastest workstation?

4000+ & FX55 Athlon™!

While Nvidia® and VIA® are both working to deliver a new PCI-E graphic interface for the AMD Athlon™ and Opteron™ platforms, AMD is busy upping the raw CPU performance speed.

" Xi's MTower SP targets hard-core gamers with double-barreled, 3D performance. For you power-crazed players... this speed demon is " the bomb." The 1.1-GHz MTower turned a whopping 118 frames per second (fps) in our Quake III benchmark; to help put this number into context, Quake III runs fine at 60 fps." ---Review CNET

Next generation AMD Athlon™ “Thunderbird” to 1GHz!

Performance is the #1 priority here at Xi, and we deliver it big time with our new Xi K1000 MTower SP! 

We are currently delivering from stock, the new AMD Athlon, featuring advanced Socket A, “Thunderbird” technology for CPU speeds above 750MHz up to 1GHz! 

These new AMD Athlon CPU’s are using the latest 256KB “Enhanced Cache Technology”, on the die at full speed, as opposed to the “old” 512KB external L2 cache CPUs. 

The new "T-Bird" achieves an extraordinary performance increase of up to 30%, over the same clock speed of the external 512KB L2 cache of the Athlon “Classic” .  We offer  these new Socket A  CPUs  with the newest class of VIA based chipset motherboards featuring 133MHz SDRAM expandability to 1.5GB.  Less heat, and noise (one only CPU fan is required), are among other improved qualities of the new T-Bird based Xi systems.
