Acer pairs Ryzen 7 8700F with Radeon RX 9070 XT in new Nitro 30
Acer has released a new Nitro 30 gaming desktop in Japan. The system combines AMD’s Ryzen 7 8700F processor with a Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB graphics card inside a compact 28-liter chassis. I would argue with the choice of the processor though.
The Japanese N30-100-F73Z97X configuration uses the 8-core and 16-thread Ryzen 7 8700F alongside 32GB of DDR5-5600 memory and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. Acer pairs this hardware with an 850W 80 PLUS Gold power supply.

The desktop uses Acer’s Nitro Radeon RX 9070 XT rather than a card from another board partner. Acer lists the GPU with 16GB of GDDR6 memory, 304W total board power and a clock of up to 2970 MHz. The card uses three FrostBlade 4.0 fans.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Gigabit Ethernet, one USB Type-C port and eight USB Type-A ports. Display connectivity from the GPU includes three DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI.

Acer is selling this configuration in Japan for ¥588,000 including tax. At current exchange rates, that converts to approximately $3,702 or €3,166. I think that’s a crazy price for a system that has an 8700F inside, an APU that doesn’t even have full PCIe 5.0×16 specs (the APU is limited to 4.0×8).
