KFC releases it's own Gaming Console, possibly faster than XBox or Playstation... oh and it warms Chicken

[leadeater]

Well obviously it's an Intel powered console if the purpose is to keep things hot.

I guarantee that its fake. delete the "landing" from the cookies. or try to click on the cooler master logo at the top.

When you delete the "landing" part of the cookies it brings you to cooler masters 404 page. Or when you click on the coolermaster logo it just brings you to the KFC page. Its a joke.

 

EDIT:

 

It says with a 2070 SUPER, and it also claims 240FPS at 4k. IDK about you, but to me, that sounds like a bit of baloney.

It’s not a joke, it’s real and it’s a marketing project. It’s really not that difficult to believe. Budweiser did the same thing a few months ago.

 

You’re also misquoting them. It says it supports 4K displays at 240Hz refresh rates. They’re in no way saying that it will run stuff at those specs.

Considering it's just a NUC with a riser cable to a GPU, you could likely swap out the card for a 3080 if you wanted.

it does say 240FPS.

"240FPS WITH UP TO 240HZ OUTPUT - Enjoy smooth and fluid high-frame-rate gameplay at up to 240fps for ALL games, with support for 240Hz output on 4k displays"

What next, The Burger King gaming rig?

 

No doubt, it'll cost more than the McDonald's version and won't be any better.

I remember KFC making a commercial about this a while back. I thought it was a joke, but I guess Cooler Master decided to make it a real thing.

 

It's not really a console though. It's just a PC designed to somewhat resemble a console.

I cannot explain how glad i am that this exists

Imagine if it was so poorly designed you could literally fry chicken on it's grill?

I don't own it but watch some let's plays. Great game.

[CTR640]

Can't wait for a Sim Chicken game! And it better be in 4K resolution!

Last gen NUC that can only fit a mid-range card? Might as well get a regular PC and a proper oven.

[Spotty]

I will be disappointed if the KFConsole doesn't use the 10900KF CPU.

 

Can't wait to play KFCities: Skylines on this.

No it's using the NUC compute unit so it's gonna be outperformed by Ryzen SFF PCs or laptops in 3 months or so.

[Mooshi]

Can't wait for the spicy version using a stock Intel cooler on a 10900k

My thoughts
This is spicier than KFC's Spicy Chicken sandwich. It's likely going to be a small promotional run and will be probably the price of a regular Intel 9 Extreme NUC ($1400 USD or so), however. Regardless, it definitely sounds extremely well spec'd... the wife is due for an upgrade and it'd be stupidly hilarious to grab this. Would you buy this for a gaming PC and if so, for what price?

I vaguely remember something about this thing and south African shipping insurance or something.

So... They took @Slick's heating a pizza on a PC idea and made something around it? Sus!

That video is 55 seconds of stock footage and 5 seconds of footage of the actual computer

it better come with a free bucket of KFC Tenders or the ability to slide the order taker/cashier an extra $10-$20 to make it a bucket of only breast meat /s

[D13H4RD]

I kinda feel this is gonna be like the Xbox Series X fridge.

[Video Beagle]

KFC literally made a movie as a marketing gimmick that was on a week ago, and people think they wouldn't do something like this that would cost them tons less?

 

 

[leadeater]

Who remembers the 10900KFC rumors?

 

Please Intel, whatever CPU is going in this officially name the CPU SKU in this with the KFC suffix. DO IT!

[Moonzy]

I really hope it's a well built machine priced sanely and not a very limited item

I would totally grab one just for keepsake
