Tianbo GOD88 Mini PC Listed in China, Sports Ryzen 7 8845HS APU & "Cyberpunk" Livery
Tianbo has prepared a very an intriguing Cyberpunk 2077-themed Mini PC for the Chinese gaming hardware market—the JD.com listing (as reported by VideoCardz) showcases black and white enclosures with a sci-fi aesthetic and plenty of RGB lighting courtesy of the slimline internal cooling solution's illuminated 9 cm fan. It is not immediately clear whether CD Projekt and R. Talsorian Games have jointly approved the GOD88 Mini PC's prominent usage of their Cyberpunk title/logo/font. The specification sheet and accompanying imagery place emphasis on the Cyber GOD88's APU of choice: an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS mobile processor—this sits at second place within Team Red's recently launched 8040 "Hawk Point" series, their Ryzen 9 8945HS chip takes principal position here.
The GOD88's Ryzen 7 8845HS APU is no slouch when compared to the Ryzen 9 sibling—it runs the same 8-core/16-thread configuration, with a 5.1 GHz max boost (only trailing behind by 100 MHz). The spec sheet mentions a configurable TDP of 35 - 54 W. Tianbo's Mini PC is sold as a barebones system, according to the JD.com product page—customers are expected to plug in their own choice of RAM and storage. Dual-channel DDR5-5600 memory is supported, while the cramped interior can accommodate a single full-sized M.2 2280 PCIe 4×4 SSD. The Tianbo GOD88 "High Performance" Cyberpunk Mini PC will be open to pre-orders (via JD.com) on February 5—barebones pricing is set at 2688 RMB (~$378.50).
VideoCardz kindly scrubbed the JD.com listing (it requires membership to view), and extracted a good bunch of GOD88 Mini PC pictures, and a screenshot of Cinebench R23 test results:

Here is the trademark notice from cyberpunk.net:
The trademark for "Cyberpunk" only applies in the styling below or ones very similar:
On the other hand, the bar to news editor seems to be quite a lot lower so maybe I do qualify for that.
'cause otherwise, it's a pretty cool lookin mini-me box with good specs and decent price....too bad it's only made for over there :D
As to the legal questions above, since when do Chinese companies concern themselves with legalities/copyrights etc ?
We're in the 21st century and China simply doesn't respect or even believe in foreign copyright instead opting for the view that copyrights can only be enforced within the country they were emmited in. This is all well documented.
