Affordable NUC: Are AMD Kabini or FT3 Avail?.

[myren]

Any FT3 boards available on retail? I'd love to pick up an embedded line GX-415GA somewhere (ECC, huzzah)! The A6-1450 just got a little brother, an A4-1350 today which should be an affordable quad core.

There are some announced products from June time frame, but I haven't seen any of them about.

Gigabyte had announced a BRIX Kabini NUC back in June too, but it's not even on their site, much less retail. Guess Intel wasn't super happy about a NUC at half the price?

Looking forward to seeing some low-cost very small mini-pc's show up. A very minimal, low cost NUC would be great for Kabini, but AMD for the life of them can't get anyone to build anything but utterly boring laptops.

That faster ECS board with the A6-5200 sounds interesting. All depends on availability and price. Only downers are the two SATA ports and small CPU fan which looks like the noisy type.

Oh yeah, and the integrated Radeon HD 8400? Haha, made me think of the old GeForce 8400 from years back.

That A6 solution looks pretty sweet from ecs... hopefully these will be sub $100 then very popular.
