Zotac this week launched two new compact desktops, each packing variations of NVIDIA’s higher-end GeForce RTX 4070-series graphics processors. The Zbox Magnus One is an upgradable, desktop-style SFF machine with an 8.3-liter chassis and features a desktop GeForce RTX 4070 card inside. In the meantime the Zbox Magnus is a tiny machine that is near a NUC in dimension and development, and features a soldered-down GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop computer GPU.
Zbox Magnus One: Not So Small, However Highly effective
Zotac has been providing its Zbox Magnus One small form-factor desktops for a while (and we even reviewed one in all them), however the fashions ERP74070C and ERP74070W pack Intel’s newest Core i7-13700 processor paired with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card with 12 GB of GDDR6X reminiscence (AD104, 5888 CUDA cores, 29 FP32 TFLOPS). The machine helps as much as 64 GB of DDR5-5600 reminiscence utilizing two SO-DIMM modules, two M.2-2280 SSDs with a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, and even one 2.5-inch drive with a SATA interface.
As well as, the brand new Zbox Magnus One ERP74070 boasts with a wealthy connectivity division that features a Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5.2 adapter, a 2.5 GbE Killer-enabled port, a daily GbE port, one Thunderbolt 4 on the again, seven USB 3.0/3.1 connectors (one USB Sort-C on the entrance), an SD card slot with UHS-II assist, 5 show outputs (three DP 1.4a and one HDMI 2.1 on the graphics card and one HDMI on the motherboard) and a TRRS audio connector for headsets.
The unit measures 265.5 mm (10.45 inches) × 126 mm (4.96 inches) × 249mm (9.8 inches) and isn’t that small, reality to be advised. However it has an indeniable benefit over different SFF desktops as it may be upgraded with a extra highly effective 65W CPU and a extra highly effective graphics card so long as its 500W 80+ Platinum-badged can deal with it.
Historically, Zotac will provide its Zbox Magnus One as barebones and as fully-configured machines with Home windows pre-installed.
Zbox Magnus: Tiny But Mighty
As for the Zbox Magnus EN3740C, it’s based mostly upon Intel’s Core i7-13700HX CPU in addition to NVIDIA’s NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop computer GPU (AD106, 4608 CUDA cores at as much as 2175 MHz, 20 FP32 TFLOPS) with 8 GB of GDDR6. Using a laptop-spec GPU signifies that it isn’t as highly effective as its desktop counterpart, however it comes at a significantly decrease thermal envelope. The machine might be geared up with 64 GB of DDR5-4800 reminiscence utilizing two modules and a few M.2-22110 SSDs with a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface.
Connectivity-wise, the small PC isn’t far behind its larger brother because it has a Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5.2 adapter, one 2.5 GbE Killer-enabled port, one GbE connector, one Thunderbolt 4 port, 5 USB 3.1 ports, three show outputs (two DisplayPorts, one HDMI), an SD card reader with UHS-II assist, and a TRRS audio connector for headsets.
For the reason that PC makes use of soldered-down cellular elements, it can’t be upgraded (at the least not by the top consumer), however on the brilliant facet, it measures 210 mm × 203 mm × 62.2 mm (8.27 in × 7.99 in × 2.45 in) and it gives rather a lot already from such a compact package deal.
Similar to in case of all Zotac’s PCs, Zbox Magnus EN3740C will likely be out there as barebones in addition to an entire system with reminiscence, SSD, and Home windows put in.
