Leaked marketing material indicates that ASRock is readying a new branch of Mini PCs, that will exist alongside already launched DeskMeet, DeskMini, and Jupiter ranges. Yesterday afternoon, a specification sheet was shared online—by well known hardware sleuth momomo_us. The Taiwanese manufacturer seems to have an Intel-flavored DeskSlim B760 model prepared for imminent release. This system is centered on Team Blue's familiar LGA 1700 platform, covering 12 to 14th generations of Core processors. Fittingly, an Intel B760 chipset controls proceedings. Alternatively, customers can choose X600 variants—AMD hardware is housed in the same DeskSlim enclosure; a compact sub-5 liter prospect.
According to the leaked ASRock specification sheet, their Team Red variant—based on an X600 chipset, utilizing the AM5 platform—can accommodate Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series CPUs. Early analysis posits that the Intel and AMD systems will be sold as barebones products. Users can add their own appropriately-sized graphics cards—maximum would be a dual-slot low profile design, 200 mm in length. A standard 240 W external power adaptor is listed as a bundled-in item, but the spec sheet mentions a more potent 330 W optional unit. VideoCardz believes that ASRock will reveal official details next week; with brand new DeskSlim products actively listed across web presences.
