Corsair launches its mini PC ONE i300 with a Core i9 12900K and up to an RTX 3080 Ti

Corsair announced its latest line of ONE i300 compact desktops at CES 2022. Systems include the latest 12th generation processors and DDR5 memory, among other specs you wouldn’t expect in a pre-built machine from a capacity of only 12 liters.

The i300 features a Core i9 12900K and up to 64GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory. Add to that an RTX 3080 or an RTX 3080 Ti and it is clear that this is no run-of-the-mill PC. It’s a serious gaming machine. The i300 is equipped with Thunderbolt 4 and it can drive four 4K displays simultaneously, so it’s not just useful for gaming.

If you’ve been dreaming of a gaming mini PC with a growl like this, it might be time to wake up. The ONE i300 model with 12900K, RTX 3080, 32GB of DDR5-4800, and a 2TB SSD will cost $ 5,000 on Corsair’s website, so a 3080 Ti version with 64GB will cost a few cents more. Start saving!

If five thousand dollars is a bit too much to bear, you can configure the One i300 with cheaper options, starting with an 11th gen i7 11700K and an RTX 3080. AMD 5900X and 5950X options are also available. We reviewed the Corsair ONE A200 and found it surprisingly quiet although it ran a little hot with its 5900X and RTX 3080 inside. But, considering the size of the chassis, you’d expect it to be a bit warmer and nowhere near like a leaf blower at full speed.

Mini ITX fans are definitely avid, and compact PCs will always find interest among the contested office real estate. If you’re happy to pay the price, you’ll be assured that a PC of this specification will give you top-notch gaming performance, with little or nothing better to tempt you until the end of the year, when in demand. new generations of CPU and GPU are expected. to throw.
