A, B, C…X!, Y, Z
With the C1 workstation, Xi-Machines has designed an entry-level model for all those who want to rely on a professional work device from the very beginning. The new workstation is supplied with the latest 8th-generation Intel Core processors and is aimed primarily at the fields of 3D animation, visual FX, compositing, video editing and audio production.
So we are going full throttle with 6 cores and 12-thread processors, as well as up to two Nvidia dual-slot graphics cards. As is typical for Xi-Machines, the interior is kept meticulously tidy and clean. The case may look familiar to some people: It was inherited from its big brother, the X1.
Digital Production Tests
In our upcoming issue 18:05 (available to everyone on 27.8.!), we took a close look at precisely this fine piece and tested it thoroughly! So anyone who wants to know exactly what Xi-Machines has conjured up and whether it is worth the price should definitely take a look.
