Processing solutions supplier Quixant will use ICE 2016 in London to launch two new gaming platforms based on the latest AMD Embedded R-Series “Merlin Falcon” APU, following a closed-door preview at G2E Las Vegas in October.
QMax-1 is the first in a new “ultimate performance” tier of product in Quixant’s lineup, offering levels of graphics performance never seen before in an embedded PC environment, according to the company—double that of Quixant’s previous highest-performance platform, the QX-50.
The QXi-6000 is the latest “all-in-one” compact gaming platform from Quixant, which also utilizes the AMD Embedded R-Series “Merlin Falcon” APU to deliver superior graphics performance. By utilizing proprietary thermal management technology, Quixant delivers the platform in a passively cooled package, eliminating the need for fans.
Both products include support for Quixant’s innovative new Q-Port monitor interface technology.
“Our customers require a range of software-compatible products that meet different price, performance and market needs,” said John Malin, sales director of Quixant. “Just having one or two gaming boards in your lineup is no longer sufficient. Typically, our customers end up using several products from our range, depending on their application.
“Despite the range of different products, we also believe it is essential that we have all of these products in stock. This is not a typical industrial market where your customers can accurately predict their demand. Demand in gaming can be very unpredictable, so we believe it is only possible to service customers properly if we carry stock. Combined with offering products with no MOQ, we believe this makes Quixant a more valuable partner to work with.”
Quixant will occupy stand N1-420 at ICE 2016.
