Super Pi is used by a huge audience, particularly to check stability when overclocking processors. If a system is able to calculate PI to the 2 millionth place after the decimal without mistake, it is considered to be stable in regards to RAM and CPU.
We used Super Pi's '32M' benchmark setting.
Super Pi's 32M benchmark completed in just under 11 minutes which is a very respectable score for a laptop processor, let alone one from the ultra-low voltage class. 10 minutes 43 seconds is about 2 minutes off the 32M time set by a stock-clocked Core i5 3570K.
That is a spectacular looking little system, love it.
Its like their version of the Mac Mini, but more powerful and better priced. very impressive. Only thing is its a shame they didn’t ship with slightly more powerful graphics, but nothing much they can do about that in the space I suppose.
Ideal for a media centre or office machine. bit expensive though by the time you factor in the SSD etc.
Like the Sapphire EDGE, but a more practical shape for behind a TV or something.
Worth a look in the new year, when I finally get my new TV. Dont want to use my desktop with the tv to watch my MKVS!
@Ben: The Mac mini is a generation old at least, and it’s cheaper. The i5 version @ 2.5ghz dual core is comparable to the Brix ( albeit likely faster. ) If you decide to compare Apple’s i7 instead of the i5, you’d be comparing a quad core chip at a significantly higher clockspeed. For about $80 more, the Mac Mini would outperform the Brix, whether it’s multi core or single core.
The Mac Mini is right on par with the expected specs of a micro build, except it’s just a bit better for the price … maybe. The Mini is reaching its end of life, where the components in the Mini are not entirely satisfactory ( see: the slow HDD included. )
Not sure what makes you think otherwise.
is this a latest upgrade…mc.mini gigabyte…..sooo cool…can i have this 1….^_^
