Intel initiated its Next Unit Computing (NUC) Line of mini PCs in 2012, with a vision of making PC systems that are small enough to fit into the palm of your hand, yet powerful enough to handle day-to-day desktop computing. Although several NUC models are still best-sellers in the market, Intel chose to step away from the business.

As disappointing as Intel's exit from the market is, it's comforting to know that GEEKOM, a multinational consumer electronics company, promises to keep Intel's vision of compact computing alive. In fact, GEEKOM's Mini IT series mini PCs have long been considered as the best alternatives to the Intel NUC Pros.

Team Pandory has tested the gaming potential of an Intel Alder-Lake-N SoC—not many outlets have bothered to give the N100 much coverage in this aspect, since the chip's makeup is E-core only and it only offers single-channel memory support. Team Blue has emphasized power efficiency rather than raw performance with its super low budget 2022 successor to old Pentium and Celeron processor product lines. The utilization of modern Gracemount CPU cores does it some favors—notably granting L3 cache support, but the chip has been designed with entry-level productivity in mind.

Naturally, in-game testing focuses attention on the N100's integrated GPU, based on Team Blue's Xe-LP architecture—it features 24 execution units (EUs), support for AV1 decode capabilities, and 8K 60 FPS video playback. Arc Alchemist offers roughly double the performance when compared to the Xe-LP iGPU, so we are not expecting a big "wow factor" to be delivered by the plucky Alder-Lake-N SoC (6 W TDP). Team Pandory benchmarked a laptop sporting a single stick of 8 GB DDR5 RAM and the N100 quad E-core CPU (capable of 3.4 GHz turbo boosting), with 6 MB of L3 cache. The ultra portable device was able to hit 60 FPS in a couple of older games, but the majority of tested titles ran at 20 to 30 20 FPS (on average). Graphics settings were universally set to minimum, with a resolution of 1280 x 720 (720p) across ten games: CS:GO, Dota 2, Forza Horizon 4, Genshin Impact, GTA V, Grid Autosport, Minecraft, Resident Evil 5, Skyrim, and Sleeping Dogs.

"Whether it's used in a harsh environment or for a silent desktop experience, we saw an opportunity to create a fanless mini PC using the latest Intel 13th Gen Processors," said Charles Abdouch, Simply NUC CTO, "With the addition of Arena Canyon Porcoolpine, we can now offer customers a rugged mini PC to meet any of their rugged application needs with the latest Intel technology."

Zotac has displayed a couple of interesting mini PCs at the Computex 2023 show, including the ZBOX Pico PIA430AJ, the world's first solid-state active cooled mini PC, as well as a new Magnus One, packing an NVIDIA RTX 4070 graphics card, and a small Edge mini PCs with AMD's Ryzen 7 7840U APU.

While the new Magnus One ERP74070C looks quite impressive packing a 16-core Intel Core i7-13700 CPU and DLSS 3-capable GeForce RTX 4070 12 GB graphics card, all in 8.33 liters chassis, the star of the show was definitely the small ZBOX Pico. The new ZBOX Pico PI430AJ features the Frore Systems AirJet solid-state active cooling technology. Based on an Intel Core i3-N300 8-core chip, it is cooled by two of these solid-state coolers, allowing Zotac to make the ZBOX Pico even thinner and quieter. The new ZBOX Pico packs 8 GB of LPDDR5 on-board memory, has a single M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4 slot, three USB 3.2 Type-C ports, and all the usual connectivity, like the WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, Gigabit LAN, and HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 outputs. Zotac also showcased the new ZBOX Edge MA762 mini PC, which is based on AMD's Phoenix Ryzen 7 7840U 8-core APU with AMD Radeon 780M graphics, all packed in a 0.64 liters chassis. As far as we know, the Ryzen 7 7840U should also feature the XDNA AI Accelerator (Ryzen AI) as well, and it is the fastest Ryzen Phoenix U-series APU with 15-30 W TDP.

Today, ZOTAC Technology launched the ZOTAC ZBOX PI430AJ with AirJet, the first Mini-PC to feature AirJet the world's first solid-state active cooling chip. The ZBOX PI430AJ with AirJet, at a mere 115 mm x 76 mm x 22 mm, now boasts twice the performance thanks to AirJet, making it the most powerful device in its class. AirJet cools devices with breakthrough technology that meets the ever-increasing demands of today's consumers. AirJet's compact size and unique capabilities enable faster, thinner, lighter, silent, and dustproof devices.

Heat is the single biggest problem facing the electronics industry, and until now, manufacturers have used antiquated thermal solutions like mechanical fans or bulky ineffective heat sinks to remove heat. These inadequate thermal solutions cause devices to rapidly overheat, forcing manufacturers to reduce device performance after only a few seconds of operation. This means consumers never really get the full processor performance they pay for.

ZOTAC returns to COMPUTEX 2023 to showcase new innovations, from the world's first Mini-PC to feature Frore Systems' AirJet solid-state active-cooling chip, to various B2B solutions aimed at AI edge computing.

Event Highlights:

• ZBOX PI430AJ with AirJet, the world's first solid-state active-cooled Mini-PC
• ZBOX MAGNUS ONE and MAGNUS EN, with GeForce RTX 40 series and additional refreshed hardware
• ZBOX C-Series Mini PC with an Intel Alder-Lake N processor
• A full-range of B2B solutions, including NVIDIA JETSON systems, ZOTAC ZBOX PRO line-up, and NVIDIA Embedded GPU products
• A showcase of ZOTAC's partnership with Sony Animation's SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE, including a movie-inspired booth, graphics cards and custom PC casemods
