A Chorley-based technology company has smashed a world performance record, putting British engineering firmly on the global stage.
Sytronix, founded by engineer and entrepreneur James Walsh, has officially taken the #1 spot on the Blender CPU benchmark leaderboard, one of the most recognised measures of computing power in industries such as CGI, animation and visual effects.
Using a system powered by two AMD EPYC 9965 processors, Sytronix achieved a score of 9688.91, outperforming the previous top result by an astonishing 142%. This leap in performance is not just a benchmark win: it is a bold statement of what true UK manufacturing can achieve.
“Our systems are designed to scale, engineered to lead, and built for records,” said James Walsh, Founder of Sytronix. “From day one our goal was to prove that Britain can still manufacture cutting-edge technology, and this result shows we’re not just keeping up, we’re leading.”
What sets Sytronix apart is its philosophy of efficiency and sustainability. Unlike many rivals, the company does not rely on overclocking, which pushes hardware beyond safe power limits. Instead, Sytronix achieves record-breaking results through intelligent tuning and engineering design, keeping energy consumption steady, or even reducing it, while delivering world-class performance. The focus is on performance per Watt, not brute force, meaning customers get both speed and sustainability.
While most competitors import components from Asia and simply assemble, Sytronix is one of the very few firms to manufacture servers in-house in the UK. Everything from chassis to circuit boards is produced under one roof, applying lean engineering principles to reduce costs and improve quality. This makes Sytronix a true outlier in a market dominated by global giants.
The achievement means customers in fields such as AI, high-performance computing, biomedical research, rendering and CGI can rely on systems that are not only the fastest in the world, but also greener, more cost-efficient and future-proof. Many clients are already replacing entire racks of workstations, render servers and NAS machines with a single Sytronix system cutting both hardware bills and energy consumption by up to 50%.
Sytronix is already working towards becoming the first company in the world to hit a 10,000+ score on Blender’s benchmark. With partnerships established with AMD, NVIDIA and ASUS, and a pipeline of new designs including modular and scalable platforms, the company is expanding into software IP and infrastructure builds to create a fully integrated ecosystem positioning itself as a British alternative to Dell or Supermicro.
