| ZOTAC Publishes Specifications of MEK Mini, MEK Ultra PCs As expected, ZOTAC demonstrated its upcoming MEK Mini and MEK UItra PCs at Computex. In addition, the company published preliminary specifications of these systems. As it appears, the smaller one will be based on Intel’s six-core Coffee Lake processor, whereas the large one will be powered by Intel’s ten-core Core X CPU. ZOTAC’s MEK Mini will be an alternative to the company’s Zbox Magnus SFF computers aimed at people who want to buy systems that work out-of-the-box rather than choosing a barebone or a system with a variable configuration. All MEK Mini PCs will use Intel’s Core i7-8700T CPU (6C/12T, 2.4-4.0 GHz, 12 MB LLC, 35 W) accompanied by 16 GB of DDR4-2666 memory, an M.2 PCIe/NVMe SSD, a 2 TB 2.5-inch HDD, and ZOTAC’s GeForce GTX 1080 Mini graphics card. In addition, MEK Mini will be outfitted with the Killer Wireless AC 1550 and the Killer Ethernet E2500 network controllers to ensure minimal latency during gaming. Although ZOTAC’s MEK Mini motherboard will formally feature an industry-standard Mini-ITX form-factor, the mainboard will be fully-custom and it will be impossible to swap it and upgrade the system. One of the reasons for that is external power supply and an appropriate power connector on the motherboard. By contrast, retail platforms use standard ATX power connectors. Moving on to the bigger MEK Ultra system. This one will be powered by a custom EATX motherboard running Intel’s X299 chipset and equipped with Intel’s Core i7-7900X processor (10C/20T, 3.3-4.5 GHz, 13.75 MB L3, 140 W) and ZOTAC’s factory-overclocked GeForce GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme graphics card. The system will feature 32 GB of DDR4-2666 memory, a 512 GB NVMe SSD, a 4 TB 3.5-inch HDD, and, perhaps, 32 GB Optane Memory caching SSD. As for networking connectivity, the MEK Ultra will support two GbE ports, 802.11ac Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth 5. https://www.anandtech.com/show/12965...-mek-ultra-pcs |
