Foxconn release NT A3500 featuring AMD Fusion

Foxconn, the world leading manufacturer of computer components and systems, today announced incredible performance results for the new NT-A3500 Barebone – with over twice the performance of the NT-330i it replaces, whilst using significantly less power.

Utilising the new AMD Fusion APU with built-in Radeon HD 6310 graphics, the NT-A3500 is capable of delivering DirectX  11 graphics and true 1080p HD playback with real-time image processing, all in the ultra-small form factor of the Foxconn NT-series chassis.

The NT-A3500 Barebone features the AMD E350 Dual Core 1.6GHz APU coupled with the AMD A45 chipset. The specification includes USB 3.0, Wireless-N and support for up to 4GB DDR3 memory.

Foxconn’s own like-for-like testing shows the NT-A3500 to be more than twice as fast as the NT-330i it is replacing whilst consuming almost 6 watts less power:

NT-330i NT-A3500
3DMark06 829 1760
Power consumption during 3DMark06 playback 29.6 Watts 23.9 Watts
Power consumption during HD video playback using Power DVD 10 27.3 Watts 23.2 Watts

Stephen Ling, Managing Director for Foxconn, Western Europe, said, “Using the full capabilities of the AMD APU has allowed Foxconn to build a Nettop with twice the performance of its predecessor, reduce power consumption and keep it all within our extremely popular ultra-small form factor. The advances in technology are allowing people to benefit from using tiny computers in more and more applications.”

The NT-A3500 will be available in Europe from the middle of May, 2011.

  1. Looks very similar to Sapphire’s Edge PC which was reviewed here a while ago. ? nice to see fusion in it though and not atom.

  2. This is an awesome little machine. I think it would be great for use as a media streaming device from my file server in a bedroom or something of that nature 🙂
