Supermicro 7047AX-TRF/72RF SuperWorkstation Preview

Maxon Cinebench R11.5 shows the Supermicro in a very favourable light.

The score of 27.78 in rendering is 10 per cent faster than a workstation using version one of the Xeon E5-2687W.

The latter's much higher-end NVIDIA Quadro K5000 graphics also only managed a five per cent boost over the Supermicro's W5000 card, although Cinebench traditionally runs faster on AMD graphics.

With Hyper-Speed enabled, there were sizeable increases to both results.

Either way, if you're a Maxon Cinema 4D user, the Supermicro would make a great basis for a modelling and rendering system.
