Since the advent of the PC, Moore's Law's rule of thumb has continuously verified the progress of semiconductor technology. The CPU chip manufacturing process has also experienced 10 micron, 6 micron, 3 micron... until the current 32 sodium, 22 sodium evolution, and At present, the mainstream 14 sodium, compared to the chip-level CPU evolution, the level of hardware development is not so obvious, the shape of the PCB board is still not much changed, from ATX to Micro ATX, then to Mini itx, motherboard There is no big change in the geometry of the size. This does not mean that the major motherboard manufacturers do not try to change, perhaps it has developed into a bottleneck stage. In recent years, the development of PC has faced a near-saturated market. Due to advances in technology, the quality of products has been fairly guaranteed, and changes in generations cannot attract the influence of users' awareness of new generations. As estimated by global technology shipments released by information technology research and analysis company Gartner in the next few years, global PC shipments will decline by 3% year-on-year in 2016 and 0.75% year-on-year in last year's report. Even so, there are still some bright spots in the PC market in 2016. For example, in February, Huawei took the Matebook into the PC industry and the other was Xiaomi’s launch of the Xiaomi notebook Air in July. These manufacturers’ “taken” entered, not to act as The savior, but has a deeper consideration.

From the market point of view, there is still a considerable stock market in the Mini PC market, that is, there are still a considerable number of users using very old PCs, which means that the market still has potential replacement requirements for PCs. After all, users still need to use it to complete the office. , learning, games, calculations and other tasks. For new market demands, such as wearable products, PC applications such as embedded are still in the early stages. Internet of Things and smart cities are all in the bud, and the potential demand for PCs is limitless. Of course, How to further meet people's requirements for PC in terms of intelligence, interactivity, thinness, etc. is precisely the challenge of future innovation of PC products, but also an opportunity. Perhaps seeing the potential demand for Mini PC development, Intel, as the CPU core of the PC core, also the big cake of the PC motherboard market, launched the concept of NUC, integrated the CPU on the motherboard, and brought it to the market in a quasi-system manner. NUC means the next generation computer, English name: Next Unit Computing, from the name can be seen Intel's positioning of the future desktop computer, it can also be seen that Intel's ambition to lay out the future PC market, it has a general sense The mini-computer, with Intel's strong guidance, Gigabyte also launched its own Brix series, the size is basically the same, because the motherboard is Intel only added a small chassis.

Even so, the mini desktop computer has won the attention of the market. With the demonstration of the chip maker and the leader of the motherboard, the mini-computer industry has slowly entered the public eye from a small product, and the computer is based on 10 Years of experience in the field of Mini ITX, keenly aware of the vast space for the development of mini-computers in the future, and with its own advantages in chassis design, in-depth cooperation with Intel to develop its own R1 series mini desktop computer, the series uses All-aluminum integrated forming process, the top cover adopts piano paint process, and utilizes the existing chassis design experience, adopts optimized air duct design, aluminum material is excellent heat conductive material, adopts passive heat dissipation mode to maximize heat dissipation effect, and at the same time Thanks to the fanless design, the mute effect is better, and applied for a patent for its own appearance.
