Sharpen your production and reduce downtime with the NextComputing Edge XTA Workstation Computer. Equipped with high-end components designed for editing and live streaming, the Edge XTA delivers extreme performance suitable for advanced creative users across the production industry.
Leveraging the power of the 64-core AMD Threadripper Pro 5995WX processor, you can experience enhanced performance with minimum and maximum operating frequencies of 2.7 and 4.5 GHz, respectively. Experience enhanced multitasking and render times with 128GB of 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM. For storage, you get two M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 storage drives consisting of one 500GB and one 1TB, giving you plenty of storage for graphics, b-roll, and other essential assets. Video capabilities are enhanced with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics, delivering extra power suitable for running powerful video editing applications. You can connect a variety of peripherals such as the included wireless mouse and keyboard, storage drives, and more with USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and Type-A ports. A single USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port is available for resource-demanding devices such as large storage arrays or media controllers. Bluetooth 5.1 technology also provides you with wireless device support for a true cable-free experience. Connect to your wireless networks with Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) or use the dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for a secure and reliable network connection.
Leverage the power of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, allowing you to experience enhanced power suitable for editing, designing, and even playing games. You get access to 2nd Generation Ray Tracing Cores, 3rd Generation Tensor Cores, and NVIDIA's Ampere architecture to drive your system's performance. A suite of artificial intelligence platforms assists in your production with NVIDIA Broadcast, DLSS, Reflex, Studio Drivers, and more. Additionally, you get access to 7th Generation NVIDIA Encoder and 5th Generation Decoder, enhancing render times.
Support resource-demanding devices such as video and audio arrays, storage drives, and more with one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and eight Type-A ports, giving you up to 10 Gb/s data transfer speeds for quick file management. A single USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port gives you 20 Gb/s data transfer speeds for even faster performance.
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) offers enhanced networking speeds with dual-band connectivity. If you prefer a secure and reliable connection, dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports are available backed by Intel's X550-AT2 controller, allowing you to use teaming functionality to upload and download data for server-grade connectivity with low-latency.
After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.
Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills.
Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.
After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.
For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.
Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.
Additional Windows 10 Pro Features
The Pro version of Windows 10 includes all of the features of Windows 10 Home plus many designed specifically for business users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access. Devices will also be able to join domains and the Azure Active Directory, and they can even access a specialized version of the Windows Store featuring custom, company-specific applications.
