The first mini-PC filled with dual-core Atom arrive

Shuttle, father of the mini-PC, introduced a new tower to garnish equipped for the first time a dual-core Atom.


After helping to fever Miniports low-cost, lo, the Intel Atom pass the "desktop side of force". Between the Eee Box, EeeTop and MSI Wind Box, engine sizes vary depending on the needs, suffering the same general price and space.
The extra space is the credo of Shuttle, this manufacturer was the inventor of PC-to-the compact barebones - it seems only natural that turns today to systems driven by an Atom.

Failing to have been the first on this platform, Shuttle will be the first to propose an Atom 330. What is the difference with a normal processor? Take two Atom N230, compress them into a single chip and Tadaaaa, "you're in the presence of a wonderful N330 Atom processor is a wonderful low double heart. Quadrithread heart and double meaning in French, that manages hyperthreading chip and can therefore run four applications at once. Do not wrap too, however, performance will not explode on the floor is not quite at 25 fps decoding HD 1080p-but it is made of it.


Apart from a bit processor innovation, X27D Shuttle is not original, retaining a minitower, just 7 cm thick. The tower is intended for users with little more than hackers interested in solutions Asus, it is proposed without operating system and if there's bays for hard drives and optical drives ... load you put them there. Last "originality" of the machine, the X27D includes a VGA port and DVI port to double screen. No surprise, it is an Intel GMA 950 behind the whole thing: nothing to do multimedia madness ...


It will be console with the passive external power supply to this mini-complete silence: at least he had it to satisfy buyers who will leave 250 euros to buy. Without RAM, no hard drive and optical drive, adding salt is sacred, we must therefore consider the use before flowing on this tour.
