Gigabyte BRIX

Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. (who uses the name Jìjiā Kējì in Chinese), is a manufacturer and distributor of computer hardware products. Gigabyte makes motherboards, graphics cards, desktop mini-PCs, laptops, peripherals and components. Gigabyte mini-PC brand is BRIX; Gigabyte BRIX computers are sold both as barebones and as fully configured systems.
  • Gigabyte's Web site lists more than 100 models of barebone Brix mini-PCs.
  • Apparently the Taiwanese manufacturer could never decide whether its Englished name should be styled GIGABYTE or GIGA-BYTE Technology Co., Ltd.
About itself, Gigabyte says that
GIGABYTE is always consumer-oriented from the very beginning of product design to the end of value chain. With the focus on consumer needs, the delivery of customer experiences has been transformed into tangible and understood customer cares. Therefore, GIGABYTE has integrated the best quality of components to ensure outstanding stability and reliability and also built up a complete service network with hundreds of customer service centers around the globe. Behind everything we do is a clear focus on what our customers value. GIGABYTE has kept staying one step ahead of consumer desires to create unique connections and pursue your smile of satisfaction.

 Gigabyte Brix GB-BACE-3000 is a black metal box, 56.1 × 107.6 × 114.4mm, featuring:
  • One two-core two-thread Intel Celeron N3000 processor;
  • One 2.5″ SATA bay for a hard disk or SSD, either 7.0 or 9.5 mm thick;
  • One DDR3L 1.35 V SODIMM slot, up to 8 GB;
  • One Intel IEEE 802.11 ac, dual band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 NGFF M.2 card;
  • One built-in Realtek RTL8111H gigabit Ethernet card;
  • Four USB 3.0 ports, one RJ-45 port, one VGA port, one HDMI port, one audio-out and one microphone-in 3.5 mm jack sockets.

The Celeron N3000 is one of Intel's "products formerly Braswell". Introduced in Q1 2015, it's a 64 bit processor; a 14 nm part, it has 2 cores / 2 threads (that is, no hyperthreading), works at 1.04 GHz (with single-core burst up to 2.08 GHz), has a splendid TDP of 4 W, and includes VT-x with Extended Page Tables, hardware AES support, and Intel HD Graphics for Intel Celeron Processor N3000 Series, which, Wikipedia assures me, it's a form of Intel HD Graphics 400.
