There's no price or availability date provided for the Quantum PC simply but 1 glance at information technology makes y'all want to own one. The Breakthrough seems like a good only costly contended in the Steam Machines lineup but it is more than that with hardware capable to crunch through 4K Gaming with ease. In that location are ii parts of the Quantum PC. One of the compartment houses the whole liquid cooling assembly while the other houses the hardware that includes the motherboard, processor and the graphics cards. At that place's an additional box that houses the power organisation and used to provide juice to the whole organization.

Every bit far as specifications are concerned, AMD confirmed that the Projection Breakthrough PC houses an Intel Cadre i7 processor. The reason AMD said themselves for using an Intel based processor is that they call back that a Intel Cadre i7 processor is perfect choice for gamers. It could be seen that AMD didn't make whatever significant gains in the CPU department and their Zen core doesn't hits the market until 2022. To brand a small course factor blueprint that goes in harmony with their ultra compact Fiji based cards, the Intel Core i7 processor is the perfect companion for this PC. The graphics side will exist powered by the company's latest Radeon R9 Fury X2 graphics cards but the card tin also incorporate other Republic of the fiji islands based GPUs in unmarried and dual configurations. This makes the PC, a 16 TFlops compute processing juggernaut. There'south no word on retentivity, storage and what motherboard has been used but it could be a mini-ITX lath with upwardly to 32 GB of memory support. The demo video showed an ASRock Z97 ITX motherboard with a Devil's Coulee (Core i7-4790K) processor.

"All of the processing technology is in the bottom, in the meridian nosotros accept got all the cooling solutions," said Chris Hook, managing director of marketing at AMD. "It is whisper quiet; it is engineered and tooled out of cute materials, aluminium and magnesium."

The Qunatum PC will be a fully liquid cooled arrangement with a massive surface area dedicated just to the cooling equipment that is housed inside the acme chamber of the instance/PC. The PC is aimed to deliver the all-time possible VR experiences with AMD LiquidVR technology and 4K Gaming without compromising on the thermals or acoustics. With a full combined power of upwards to 8.9 TFlops in a single carte configuration and up to 17 TFlops in dual card configurations, the Projection Quantum PC will be a really interesting and unique offer in the market if information technology e'er shapes upward to be a consumer offering.
