The Chinese company Hystou has decided to revive the Intel Hades Canyon platform in its own way, releasing the "nostalgic" F9 mini-PC. The machine is powered by a Kaby Lake-G APU with an 8th Gen Intel Core chip and AMD Radeon Vega M graphics. It even features a stylized skull with LED backlighting.
The dimensions of the Hystou F9 case , made of aluminum with plastic inserts, are 228.8 x 148 x 51.8 mm. The case has a full set of interfaces: 2 HDMI ports, 2 Mini DisplayPort, 2 Gigabit Ethernet, 4 USB 3.0 Type-A ports and 4 more USB 2.0 Type-A, one USB 3.1 Type-C, 3.5 mm audio jack plus built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. For drives, there is a pair of M.2-2280 for NVMe drives (PCIe 3.0), as well as space for one 2.5-inch SATA drive: SSD or HDD.
Hystou F9 provides four versions of Kaby Lake-G central processors, but in all cases these are 4-core chips with different TDPs and clock speeds - from Intel Core i5-8305G (2.8-3.8 GHz) to i7-8809G (3 , 1-4.2 GHz). In terms of graphics, this is a choice between Vega GH with 24 CUs (performance comparable to NVIDIA GTX 1060) and Vega GL with 20 CUs. The basic version of the computer is priced at $ 420.
The mini PC comes as a barebone system. This means that the buyer will have to independently take care of the RAM, storage and OS installation. The manufacturer is also ready to take on the first two questions by offering up to 64 GB of memory (two slats) and a 512 GB SSD. As for the software part, it is worth recalling that support for Kaby Lake-G was first stopped by Intel, and then AMD - in June 2020. Although AMD has finally added platform support to Windows 11 in a recent driver update.
