A new Mac clone maker? Uh, sorta

Here's how the company describes the US$1,899 EFI-X: "With EFI-X, the first and only BPU (Boot Processing Unit) you will be able to enter a new computing dimension. It's a new concept, a new world. And you are welcome to explore it! EFI-X is not for everyone. It is not for who wants to save money, at all. It is for enthusiasts that put expandability and extreme performances before anything else in their computing needs."


It's touted as being compatible with Mac OS X 10.5, Windows XP/Vista and Linux. The EFi-X system will reportedly deliver "85-90%" of the performance of a top-end Mac Pro for less than half the price. Buyers can also potentially custom-order systems themselves, notes AppleInsider.

Even faster models based on Xeon hardware, nicknamed the Millennium 8, 16 and 24 for their uses of two, four, and six quad-core processors, are due in the near future. The EFI-X is made in Europe. It's purportedly EMI and RFI compliant wit powero management functions and an interactive graphical boot selector.
