The Intel Atom Thread

It's coming soon https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/search.html?_charset_=UTF-8&q=Gemini+Lake Honestly, Gemini Lake is excellent, with impressive single thread performance. A refresh is fine. The main problem is availability.

The mini gaming rig market is a niche but it's a vibrant community and it's growing fast. Check out https://thor-zone.com/mini-itx/ , https://www.dan-cases.com/dana4.php , https://www.circlestudio.co/ and many more... Paired with decent graphics cards, low-power 10nm TGL chips will probably do...

From what I understand, the Phantom Canyon NUC is still a work in progress, very fluid situation with multiple concepts / form factors floating around. The Ghost Canyon NUC is pretty much finalized and is the next big release (it's going to rock the SFF world).

The Intel Atom Thread

Skyhawk Lake will have to wait because Gemini Lake Refresh is not canceled. Six new processors will launch in November : The 10W (desktop) Pentium J5040, Celeron J4125, Celeron J4025 and the 6W (mobile) Pentium N5030, Celeron N4120, Celeron N4020.

Any link to these roadmaps? Things are moving fast at Intel nowadays.

Mini PC from ali express

Do yourself a favor and buy trusted hardware from a trusted brand and a trusted seller. Especially if reliability matters. Many options from ASUS, ASRock, GIGABYTE, Shuttle and more are available.

Fanless desktop options

Open-air really helps with large fanless CPU coolers indeed. Thermaltake's Core P series is a nice compromise.

Fanless desktop options

A fanless desktop is actually easier than ever, thanks to Intel and AMD dropping 35W chips left and right :) On the Intel side, a 35W i3/i5, a Thin Mini-ITX and Akasa's Euler heat sink case, and you're good to go! On the AMD side, get the Athlon 200GE (or Ryzen 3 2200GE / Ryzen 5 2400GE if you...

Ice Lake should be true to its name and bring TDP down. Hoping for 20W desktop chips. Pentium and i3 should not exceed 35W.

The Intel Atom Thread

Thanks guys! Yes, most exciting release since the out-of-order Bay Trail 4 years ago. The "Atom" is doing better than ever. Intel is also giving tips to its partners regarding passive cooling, which is music to my ears :)

Is Intel i7-6700T worth $50 more than i5-7400?

Too often, the 35W T-series gets no love, when it's silicon at its finest! Perfect for passive cooling too.

Absolutely. Gemini Lake features Gen 9 graphics / Gen 10 display. Forgot about eMMC 5.1 support too.

Thanks mikk! Braswell was all about graphics, Gemini Lake is all about CPU performance. Internal slides mention similar 3D performance as Braswell (Intel is being very conservative, it's refreshing) but a 31% increase CPU-wise!
