AMD Mini ITX Builds

[DrDerp]

Just wanted to discuss the exciting possibilities of the new AMD APU chips in a Mini ITX Form Factor. Think of how small you can have a case whilst still having decent graphics now! When PC part pricing goes down (primarily RAM and SSDs since you don't really need a graphics card) it will also be a great price performance. I honestly would want to build one but NAND is in short supply at the moment. What do you guys think?

just wait till 2048 when we all have flashdrives featuring the power of 4 gtx 1080s and the most expensive CPU you can think of, plus 240gb DDR9,000 ram and 8 petabytes of storage; all for the low low price of 800$!

I shall think on this!

Also DDR9000? Seems a little, uh, high?

 

Also isn’t the AI Takeover beginning in 2029? /S

From what I could gather, it looks like the APUs will have up to 12CUs, which would put it between the RX 550 and 560. I mean, it'll be better than what Intel can offer sans Kaby Lake G, but I'm not expecting anything more than being able to push eSports games past 100 FPS on the lowest settings.

I don't know, kaby lake G looks pretty good.

 

I still felt disappointed in the AMD slideshows because of the settings in small writing.

Maybe next time, I guess?

Well here I am with a 5 giggawiggles 8700k and OCed GTX 1080 Ti in a mini ITX case. Seems to be about the most power you can fit in one.

I have a Ryzen based ITX machine (specs in signature), but I think you mean something like this but with decent graphics:

Im hoping for a Intel nuc style pc from AMD or its partners. Having the option to go AMD instead of intel would be nice and may encourage compitition in that market as a lot of people dont need a full size dektop and the small Nuc`s are quite neat in a lot of enviroments. i dont know how AMD would go about cooling the cpu, but im expecting a single fan heatsink with a smal slot for a ramstick or two and a m.2 slot. would expect the heatsink to take up as much room as possible.

The ryzen 5 2400G at around 3 ghz would go quite nicely and i dont think it will overwhelm a good heatsink.

Zotac is already on it. Pricing will most likely be high though.

If AMD does something int eh style of the limited edition Vega 64. That brushed aluminum with the Vega logo looks lovely. Will be nice to see what other vendors come up with
