Skull Canyon NUC box

Hades got pushed back to end of May, but I think I will bite for the living room, maybe I can decommission my thunderbolt external GPU rig there as the bump in perf over Skull (which was not exactly chopped liver itself!) will be “enough”.

the Core i7-8809G turns in average frame rates and 99th-percentile frame times that fall between those of a desktop GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and a mobile GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB overall. That kind of performance is good for pleasant 1920x1080 gaming at high settings in most of today’s titles, and the Radeon RX Vega M GH’s support for widely-available FreeSync monitors can help smooth out any minor imperfections in frame delivery. Outside of games, the Core i7-8809G’s swift quad-core CPU with Hyper-Threading pulls close with a Core i5-8400 in many workloads. Can’t complain about that.

I had a full fat 1060 GTX in that external GPU enclosure anyways…
