AMD is showing off a prototype
build of its ridiculously thin, Mullins APU equipped Nano PC at this year's CES. The tiny
PC, designed to sit atop your TV, is about as thin as a Galaxy Note 3 and
capable of running Windows 8.1.
Along with Windows capability, it currently
houses a camera, Bluetooth, WiFi and DockPort connectivity as well as a 256GB
SSD. Reports say that it is handling Windows 8.1 fairly seamlessly and is
capable of running EA's FIFA 14 in 1080p. It will also come with a mini
breakout box (seen above) that provides USB and HDMI connections in order to
beam the PC's output to your TV, among many other things. Basically, a PC the
size of a smartphone with a sizeable SSD that can run Windows and AAA games in
full HD.
As others have pointed out, the super thin PC is
quite an impressive piece of technology to say the least. Unfortunately, it is
just that -- a technology -- AMD likely won't be selling these things but
rather using the prototype to entice other manufacturers to adopt its slick new
HTPC design.
