Gigabyte is readying up Brix Mini-PCs featuring AMD Renoir APUs

Gigabyte is refreshing the Brix line of Mini-PCs with AMD Renoir APUs, joining the ranks of the models with Intel Tiger Lake-U processors. These new Brix models haven't been fully detailed yet, but Gigabyte shared some of the specifications this week.

As per ComputerBase, the latest refresh to the Gigabyte Brix Mini-PCs saw new Intel CPUs introduced but the AMD powered model remained the same. That is changing soon with a new AMD Renior APU model, bringing the AMD side closer to the current-gen Intel Brix Mini-PCs.

Some of the features that both the Intel Tiger Lake and AMD Renoir APUs will share include WiFi 6 and PCIe 4.0 support, but the AMD models will also support up to 4x displays with 4K resolution, a 2.5Gb Ethernet interface, built-in Vega graphics and up to 8 cores and 16 threads on the CPU. Additionally, the new Gigabyte Brix models will be available in two sizes: slim and tall.

Gigabyte hasn't shared the pricing and availability details yet. The official product page is already online, but it doesn't show much besides a teaser of the new Brix models.

KitGuru says: Do you use a Mini-PC at work or at home? Are you thinking about upgrading soon to take advantage of newer CPU/APU technology?

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.
