GIGABYTE BRIX Pro: A First Look at the Intel i7-4770R with Iris Pro HD 5200
by Ganesh T S on January 7, 2014 8:00 PM ESTThe BRIX Pro was evaluated using our standard test suite for low power desktops / industrial PCs. Note that some of the benchmarks are pretty recent (such as x264 v5.0 and 3D Mark 2013). Loaner samples haven't been tested with these new benchmarks. Therefore, the list of PCs in each graph are not the same. In the Windows Experience Index, the BRIX Pro scored 6.9, and was primarily held back by the graphics subsystem.

These benchmark numbers are downright impressive for a system in this form factor.

Will the Brix be able to run beyond 1600Mhz RAM speeds?ryrynz - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - link
Seen on Gigabtyes website the G.skill F3-1866C10D-8GRSL is supported to run at 1866Mhz hope you guys manage to chuck something that speed or 2133Mhz in for testing.dwade123 - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - link
Yeah... I rather get a PS4 for less the price.ryrynz - Monday, January 27, 2014 - link
Please test the AMD based GB-BXA8G-8890 as well.luukp - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - link
What I'm interested in is the difference in performance and noise between the 4570r and the 4770r. I notice that they have the same TDP, but the 4570R has lower clock speed, less features (no hyperthreading) and a higher maximum operating temperature. Based on that, in my mind the 4570r should be able to run much quieter and also be much less likely to throttle. Does that make sense, or am I missing something?ibex333 - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - link
ummm... lol? For this much money I can build a computer that is only slightly larger and heavier but which will completely obliterate these boxes in gaming performance. Do you want to pay several hundred more just for smaller size and less weight or do you want to have MUCH more performance instead? Is that even a hard decision?DriesV - Wednesday, January 29, 2014 - link
I'm interested in CPU performance only.I need another quad core render node, but my office is cluttered as it is. I don't like to put systems on the floor and I don't have a spare 'server room'.
Then the Brix Pro is an extremely compelling solution. I'd happily pay (I already did actually...) for the much smaller desk real estate required.

There's always a market for everything. :-)Andresen - Friday, January 31, 2014 - link
