Mac Mini's, Small Form Factor PC's and content/game development

<< < (3/3)

kat:
Bit of a necrobump but was looking into this recently again, ultra small form factor PC's. It seems in the four years since last discussing this Intel created the NUC platform (Next Unit Computing) that Gigabyte have really run with for their BRIX devices, the latter in particular makes use of full powered Desktop versions of Intel CPU's rather than the throttled versions (mobile versions with reduced Cores) used by Intel in the NUC units. Unfortunately in all instances heat is a really big issue for all of them (aside from price), BRIX in particular which have some aggressive hardware throttling going on which can hit FPS and 3D performance quite hard (as much as 50%). For gaming, game/content development or CPU/GPU heavy activities it still looks like a desktop case (Shuttle being a popular option) is the way to go for temperature control.
