Asus Reveals New Mini-PC Packing an Intel Meteor Lake CPU
Lilliputin Details shared The upcoming new Asus Mini-PCs will feature Intel’s upcoming 14th Generation Meteor Lake CPUs. This system is known as his PN65 and has a very compact 120 x 130 x 58 mm form factor. Additionally, with a new architecture, the system is equipped with the latest generation connectivity standards, including 2.5G Internet, Wi-Fi 6E wireless connectivity, and support for DDR5 SO-DIMM memory.
According to Asus’ spec sheet, this mini PC will optionally feature one or more of Intel’s upcoming 28W mobile Meteor Lake processors with Intel Iris Xe graphics. Meteor Lake is Intel’s next-generation CPU architecture with some key enhancements over Raptor Lake, such as the integration of Intel’s denser and more efficient Intel 4 node and a new packaging strategy known as tiles. is. Meteor Lake is coming soon and we’re already starting to see some prototypes of Meteor Lake products on Computex.
The Asus Mini-PC has a textured matte black finish and sports I/O on the front and rear of the chassis. On the front, there are two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and one Type-C port with the same specifications. The front also includes a single mic headphone jack combo and a single RGB indicator.
The rear I/O is much more expanded, with a total of 4 USB ports, 2 of which are 3.2 Gen 2 ports, another 2 of the older 2.0 version, and finally another with DisplayPort 1.4 connectivity. 3.2 Gen 2 port integrated into Type-A. C connection. For even more display outputs, there are two standard HDMI outputs and one Intel RJ45 Ethernet jack with 2.5G connectivity for networking. According to Asus’ spec sheet, a single “configurable port” can be repurposed as an HDMI port, DisplayPort, COM, VGA, or another 2.5G LAN port.
Like traditional mini PCs, the system also supports VESA mounting, mimicking an all-in-one system that keeps your PC out of sight. The system has plenty of storage configurations, with an optional choice of two HE M.2 2280 SSDs and an additional HE 2.5-inch slot for a laptop HDD or 7mm SSD. With all three drive slots populated, you can have up to 6 TB of storage capacity with this system while taking advantage of the maximum storage capacity of each slot.
I don’t know the PC’s performance figures, release date, or price. Still, if Meteor Lake’s rumored performance claims are valid, we can expect this system to be a great solution for professionals and businesses with a lot of power in a small package.
