ASRock announces Jupiter 600 mini PCs with desktop-grade 65 W Intel Alder Lake and Raptor Lake CPUs
ASRock is introducing the Jupiter 600 lineup of mini PCs with LGA1700 socket that supports desktop-grade Intel Alder Lake and Raptor Lake processors. For this reason, the new Jupiter H610 and B660 models are considerably larger than the palm-sized 4X4 mini PCs. However, the chassis remains very compact with a 34 mm profile and 1 liter volume, so it can easily be oriented vertically.
Both models support desktop CPUs up to 65 W TDP, which can be complemented by up to 64 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM and a storage combo comprising an M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0, another M.2 NVMe limited at PCIe 3.0 speeds plus a 2.5-inch SATA SSD / HDD.
Port selection includes 2x USB-C 3.2 Gen connectors, 7x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (H610 comes with 5x USB-A 3.2 and 2x USB 2.0), 2x DP + HDMI video outs, a COM port and net plus audio jacks. The wireless solution is not included (optional on the H610), but an additional M.2 slot is provided and the back side supports two antennas. On top of these specs, the B660 model comes with a TPM 2.0 IC and a LAN card with DASH support for increased security.
Pricing and availability information is yet to be revealed.
