"Cubi 5 12M: The Energy Efficient Mini-PC

The MSI Cubi 5 12M is a small yet powerful mini-desktop with an incredibly compact 0.7L design suitable for commercial office work or use as home-theatre/entertainment PC (supports UHD/4K 60Hz display output & triple-monitor setups).

The Cubi 5 12M i5 1235U BB is a barebone system equipped with an Intel 12th Gen Core i5-1235U processor, but does not include required DDR4 memory, storage, or software. Features Intel Wi-Fi 6E & Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity.

The easy-to-upgrade SFF case can house both M.2 (with auto switch) & 2.5-inch SSD storage, as well as up to 64 GB of system memory (2 x DDR4 3200MHz SO-DIMMs), and is VESA-mountable for a cleaner desktop.

Thanks to its cooling-optimized layout and low-noise fan, the MSI Cubi 5 12M is not only an energy-efficient computing solution but is also very quiet, running at a whisper-level 28 dBA while in idle mode.

Front & rear I/O include dual Intel 2.5Gbps and 1Gbps ethernet LAN, Mic-in, Headphones-out, Thunderbolt 4 and 4 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports."

14-liter cube for server and workstation applications
Like its sister model SH570R8, the Shuttle XPC Barebone SW580R8 supports 10th/11th generation Intel Core processors, four large 3.5" hard disks with Raid function, 128 GB DDR4-3200 RAM and dual-slot graphics cards. In addition, the SW580R8 also accepts Xeon W-series processors featuring ECC and vPro for more system stability and remote management options. It also offers four network ports for the first time (two of them with 2.5 GBit/s), a second M.2 slot for SSD cards and a TPM security chip. Such impressive performance and range of features in an aluminum chassis with a volume of only 14 liters makes SW580R8 the ideal platform for demanding mini-server and workstation PCs with top reliability even under heavy load.
Upgrade to the future
Minimalism meets power

The most recent generation of mainstream BRIX products adopts an all-new chassis design. Computing performance has increased, but the design does not require an increase in the size of the chassis. Its appearance has curved, soft, and twisted lines with a liveliness that makes it very unobtrusive.

By the way it was assembled and layered, and designing oblique angles around the base, a sense of simplicity is created to achieve a lightweight design. This allows users to enjoy ultimate computing performance while also having a stylish and elegant product.

With the latest 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Mobile Processors, Intel has taken its hybrid design to the next level. The new processors boast more powerful Performance-cores (P-cores), allowing for swift and seamless completion of tasks. The improved Efficient-cores (E-cores) enable even better multi-tasking, making it easier to tackle several tasks at once. These advanced processors also deliver stunning graphics and unparalleled connectivity, providing an unparalleled immersive display and lightning-fast wired and wireless connections.

Computing with ultra efficient multi-tasking
Up to 10 cores (2 P-cores, 8 E-cores) and enhanced Intel Thread Director.

Intel Iris Xᵉ Graphics
Render in the background while editing video; enjoy responsive HD gaming while streaming music; or game, stream and record at once.

Amazing End-to-End Connectivity with Wi-Fi 6
Nearly a threefold improvement in throughput speed allows for fast uploads and downloads at low latency. Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) gives you the freedom to work and learn from anywhere—and relax with smooth, high-quality streaming.

Delivering Superior Performance Where You Need It Most
You can save time and enhance the quality of your computing experience by utilizing built-in intelligence. Enjoy features like low noise operation while collaborating and automated text, image, and audio improvements while creating. In addition, enjoy system optimization for bandwidth and video resolution while gaming on the go.
