The XPG GAIA is a compact 5-liter system designed for gamers and creators who have limited desktop space but don't want to compromise computing power and features.

The device is enclosed in a case with a volume of only about five liters: dimensions are 238 × 96 × 216 mm. Applied eight-core Intel Core i9-9980HK processor with a clock speed of up to 5.0 GHz in turbo mode. The chip functions in tandem with 32GB of DDR4-3200 RAM. Installation of a discrete graphics accelerator up to 202 mm long is allowed. A fast solid-state module XPG SX8200 Pro M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.3 with a capacity of 2 TB is used as a drive. A slot for an SDXC memory card is provided. A two-port gigabit controller is responsible for the wired connection to the computer network. Wireless capabilities are provided by built-in Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 adapters.

With a compact 5-liter form factor, the XPG GAIA will free up precious space on desktops or tables to keep things tidy. Its size makes it ideal for smaller spaces, such as dorm rooms, studio apartments, and small offices. The small form factor also makes it relatively easy to move around should the need arise, great for bringing to LAN parties or influencers on-the-go. Its clean and minimalist exterior design with side mesh panels fit perfectly in just about any space. Beyond just form, the side mesh panels also provide effective optimal thermal control and cooling superior to that of notebook PCs.

The XPG GAIA comes with 32 GB (2x16GB) 3200 MHz sorted DRAM, which provides ultimate stability and breathtaking speeds while also supporting Intel XMP 2.0 for hassle-free and stable overclocking. Meanwhile, an award-winning XPG SX8200 Pro solid state drive offers sequential read/write speeds of up to 3500/3000 per second. Also, it has a powerful yet highly efficient Flex ATX power supply with a 500 W 80 Plus Platinum rating, which can maintain low noise levels of up to 40dB, ensuring minimal distraction.

Beyond its core performance characteristics, the XPG GAIA also comes with a host of essential features that will make gaming and content creation at home more effortless. With Wi-Fi 6 support, the XPG GAIA enables routers to communicate with more devices at once and send data to multiple devices in the same broadcast with a wider transmission range. Moreover, users will also enjoy versatile I/O connectivity with Thunderbolt 3 for hassle-free connectivity with additional monitors and other external devices.

The XPG GAIA is now available in the Americas and Japan.

You see this is where Intel just does so much better than AMD, even though AMD at the moment has the upper hand with CPUs (even more so shortly if the rumours are correct) Intel just has the connections and the impetus to do projects like this, plus they get the marketing teams well behind projects and get them very visible, AMD really needs to look closely at how it approaches its market and gets its products out there, no doubt Intel loses on these or breaks even, but the product is out there in a sexy looking little package, nobody cares that the equiv AMD processor is better in 95% of situations it just satisfies the inner geek in techno folks who are then consulted about future purchases, this sways them!

If this is housing a 5+ GHz, 8 core cpu and you CAN plug in something like a 3080 or the next AMD GPU with FAST low latency RAM, then that small form factor is awesome.

I hope AMD or another vendor would also develop something like this - uber pocket or backpack gamer PC.

Edit -- I looked up the price... not for us mortals who can build an ATX desktop for about half that price. Nice concept.
