The motherboards use the AMD V1000 series of APUs which could possibly offer performance comparable to those of the desktop series of AMD APUs

Many years ago, in the ATI 960pro AIW times, I had a sapphire gpu and the color reproduction was nothing I had ever seen.  Maybe it was saturation but the colors were rich! I haven't seen a difference from one card to another since then

Also, very excited about Mini-STX.  I have a G-4560 sitting in my basement just waiting for a sff machine to go in my home theater.  I re-purposed my last HTPC as my moms desktop and I gave my xbox one (aka media box) to my mom as well.  But I would still love to have an STX machine because it's epic.  Just the frustration of having a spare ATX psu sitting here that keeps me from doing it.  #randomuselessthoughts #hooraydrunken4thofjuly

Yeah just think of the new possibilities with sff builds. Now instead of having to get a mini-itx motherboard which is slightly bigger, now we can get the same performance in a smaller form! I can't help but think about car pcs and super small Photoshop rigs!

Absolutely great news. Looks like my new Car PC. Either this or a Mac Mini.

Can you actually add some info to the post itself?
The point of making threads here is to put info regarding the news, not just 2 tiny lines and then 3 links to websites.

The first link isn't even working.

 

On topic, shame for the green PCB.

TBH, I really doubt this matters. These builds will be in a really cramped tiny, mostly closed off cases with just some mesh or holes on the sides so you wont be able to see the PCB anyway.
