Building on what was good about the M-Cube WS we reviewed recently, YOYOTech has tried to fit even more processing power into an unfeasibly small package with the M-Cube WS2. Where the M-Cube WS opted for a frequency-enhanced Core i5, the M-Cube WS2 takes a more traditional workstation approach, using an Intel Xeon processor. The Xeon in question is an eight-core E5-2660, for humongous rendering potential.

The M-Cube WS2 has a more conventional workstation specification in other respects, too. There's a solid state disk for operating system and apps, alongside a conventional hard disk for data. The graphics come in the form of the same AMD FirePro W7000 as the MS-Cube WS, and all this is still packed inside a dinky Aerocool Dead Silence DS Cube Case … belying the power of the contents.
