In a move that's sure to excite mini PC enthusiasts, ASRock has unveiled the X600TM-ITX, the first Thin Mini-ITX motherboard compatible with AMD's powerful Ryzen 9000 series processors. This innovative board packs a punch despite its diminutive size, boasting several noteworthy features:
Key Highlights:
- AM5 Socket: Full support for the latest AMD Ryzen 9000 series CPUs.
- Thin Mini-ITX Form Factor: A slimmed-down design with a 25mm I/O shield height (compared to 44mm on standard Mini-ITX boards), allowing for more compact builds.
- Onboard Power Supply Support: Eliminates the need for a bulky ATX power supply, simplifying mini PC assembly.
- SODIMM Memory: Utilizes laptop-style RAM for a smaller footprint.
Aimed at HTPC Enthusiasts:
ASRock is positioning the X600TM-ITX as an ideal choice for building Home Theater PCs (HTPCs). While the board lacks dedicated PCIe slots for discrete GPUs, the integrated graphics in higher-end Ryzen 9000 series processors should provide adequate performance for casual gaming and media consumption.
