The guys at fxguide have gotten theri hands on one of the new Autodesk HP xw8600 systems, with dual Quad Core Xeon processors, a Quadro FX5600 and a Lucid 88192 D/A converter.

We’ve got one of the new Autodesk HP xw8600 systems fired up at the fxphd loft in Chicago. The new systems started shipping last month and we got it quickly up and running and paying the bills. But before we shut down our old IBM6217 system, we took the time to run our fxguide suite of benchmarks so we had something to which we could compare the new system. In our results, we’ve also included results from our old school original Onyx 2 system, which was running Inferno version 5.3. The new xw8600 was from 1.1 to over 2 times faster than the 6217 on our benchmark test.

They’ve got their entire test suite & a benchmarking report available on their site.
