ASRock Industrial Computer has announced its new ultra-compact form-factor (UCFF) desktops powered by AMDās Ryzen 4000U-series processors.Ā
The new 4X4 Box-4000 series systems are designed primarily for offices and enterprises, but given the capabilities of AMDās latest APUs, these systems can be used as a small home theater PCs (HTPCs) too.Ā
ASRockās 4X4 Box-4000 series UCFF PCs come in a miniature Intel NUC-like chassis and are based on AMDās Ryzen 7 4800U, Ryzen 5 4500U, or Ryzen 3 4300U with eight, six, or four cores, respectively, as well as Radeon RX Vega graphics.
Oh and it comes with a VESA mount which allows it to be securely attached to a monitor, transforming it into an 8-core Apple iMac rival.
