Gigabyte Brix Pro 4770R

[HardOCP News]

The Legit Reviews crew has taken the Gigabyte Brix Pro around the block a few times to see how it performs. What happens when you stuff the power of a Core i7-4770 in a case smaller than three 120mm fans stacked on top of each other? Hit the link to find out.

We first saw the Gigabyte Brix Pro Ultra Compact PC Kit in September 2013 at the Intel Developer Forum and instantly fell in love with the pint-sized system due to the hardware inside. Gigabyte managed to fit the Intel Core i7-4770R 3.9GHz quad-core processor along with Intel’s powerful new Iris Pro 5200 integrated graphics in a form factor that is just 62 x 111.4 x 114.4 mm or 0.79 Liters in size.

I'd like to see someone mount a NoFen passive heatsink on to it.

Finally some decent pics of what is in these little boxes. Too bad this little box is $650 before RAM/SSD.

C'mon AMD, come out with mobile Kaveri already! If a Core i7-4770R works in one of these at 65W, a mobile A10 at 35W should be easy!

That's what I was thinking. Surprised AMD or any of AMD's motherboard manufacturers, have yet to jump on board with something.

Gigabyte has the AMD based BRIX Gaming. It's not Kaveri, but it looks interesting.

The AMD version of the Brix gaming is a whopping $560 with no ram/SSD/OS. I get that the appeal of these are that they are small, but the price/performance ratio is absolutely terrible.
