A Chuwi spokesperson said <em>TechRadar Pro<\/em> Aerobox uses the motherboard of the console and described the A9-9820 as a &quot;new seventh generation chip&quot; running on Windows 10.<\/p>\n<p>With eight cores, eight threads, and a maximum frequency of 2.35 GHz, the AeroBox published robust numbers on leak-based benchmarks in March 2020 (and in Chuwi&#39;s own internal tests). Along with a Radeon R7 350 (GCN 3.0) GPU that runs at up to 985 MHz, it promises to offer solid graphics performance as well.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-it-exactly\">What exactly?<\/h2>\n<p>The A9-9820 processors are likely to be remaining parts, based on the Jaguar microarchitecture, which were built for the Xbox One S, which supports DDR3 memory and has a similar spec list (albeit at a higher clock rate). The GPU has likely been disabled and replaced by a discrete GPU.<\/p>\n<p>We also notice some anomalies in the specification. For example, the motherboard has four memory slots, which is extremely rare for what looks like a microATX board. The device uses a SATA SSD, but the image in the marketing literature shows an HP SSD EX900 M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe. Oh, and HP doesn&#39;t make 256GB SSDs, only 250GB versions.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, there are two PS2 connectors on the back: popular legacy ports at the beginning of the millennium but one that USB stopped using. These, together with the presence of a DVI port, make this product an interesting rarity.<\/p>\n<p>Chuwi has yet to announce a price for the AeroBox and has confirmed that it will not be available outside of Japan at launch, but be on the lookout for more information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/pre>\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this year, the prolific Chinese PC maker Chuwi introduced a product that contains an AMD (Application Processor Unit) APU that has yet to be announced, the A9-9820.
