Modder recreates AMD Project Quantum system

When AMD announced the Radeon R9 Fury GPUs in 2015, it also showcased an interesting-looking desktop system named Project Quantum. A quick look at it shows it's not your average PC, featuring a unique two-segment chassis powered by Radeon graphics and an Intel 4th Gen chip. Unfortunately, AMD never released the product, but one modder has managed to recreate the system. 

YouTuber ‘stand_up_g4m3r' (via VideoCardz) rebuilt AMD's Project Quantum system using an ASRock DeskMini X300W PC, a 3D printer, plenty of filament, and various tools (screwdrivers, tweezers, a soldering kit, pliers, etc.).

As a side note, the ASRock DeskMini X300W PC packs an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G APU and 32GB of memory. These specs were untouched, and it's exactly what will be powering the fan-made Project Quantum.

You can see the modding process in the video, from printing and preparing the parts to painting and installing them. He even built an AIO liquid cooler for the CPU, just like the original Project Quantum.

It has been seven years since the announcement of the original Project Quantum, and we've barely heard anything about it. We know AMD developed some internal prototypes and submitted a patent for a similar system in 2020. However, nothing has been publicly announced or shown since 2015.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
