AMD unveils Project Quantum SFF PC

Based on dual-Fiji GPUs for 60FPS at 4K/UHD

In addition to a full line of Fiji based Fury series graphics cards unveiled during the special E3 2015 show, AMD has unveiled yet another device, the Project Quantum SFF PC based on dual-Fiji graphics card, completely liquid cooled and capable of providing 60FPS at 4K/UHD resolution in probably any game.

Although just a prototype that AMD will offer and be sold by AMD's partners, the Project Quantum is packed in a rather impressive looking small form-factor (SFF) case and is completely liquid cooled, which means that it has a custom liquid-cooling loop that cools both the graphics card and the CPU. While all the hardware is placed in the bottom part of the case the liquid cooling system is in the top part.

While it is still not clear who will actually handle the manufacturing, it is possible that AMD will have Project Quantum as a barebone, leaving to its partners to choose the configuration, but it surely looks impressive.

“All of the processing technology is in the bottom, in the top we have got all the cooling solutions,” said Chris Hook, director of marketing at AMD. “It is whisper quiet; it is engineered and tooled out of beautiful materials, aluminium and magnesium.”

As noted, the Project Quantum will be based on a dual-GPU Fiji board but it is possible that we see SKUs with both Fury X, Fury and even Radeon R9 Nano. Unfortunately, we still do not know the exact CPU that was used but it is a good thing that AMD had it up and running at E3 2015 press conference.

Since it is capable of providing 60FPS at 4K/UHD resolution in about any game, AMD will certainly market the Project Quantum as the perfect system for virtual reality (VR) since you will be getting ultimate experience in a small form-factor system, something that Fiji GPU made possible.

Since we won't see the dual-Fiji GPU R9 Fury X2 before fall of this year, it is possible that the Project Quantum SFF PC will come in that timeframe as well.
