What does /g/ think of this?

For what purpose?
>>54923600
mobile workstation maybe
That's kinda neat.... I guess? What the fuck is up with the i/o port locations though? Seems to be for some very specific case, a steambox type thingy I assume.

I don't think so Tim. This'll be for a NUC of some description
>>54923600
It's not a laptop mobo. Lots of mitx boards take sodimms to accommodate really small form factor cases.

Are those people retarded? That's obviously a board for an all-in-one or a custom thin PC, not an ATX board. It never had any PCI slots in the first place.
>>54923626
Up until skylake most laptops were socketed retard

I haven't had a socketed laptop since like 2008.
>>54923677

>throw away the gpu
Fixed.
Over the past 15 years I've seen maybe two dead GPUs for dozens of dead motherboards. Plus, motherboards are generally cheaper.
here's a hint, look at the I/O placement
>>54923673
No they weren't.
>>54923698
>>54924139
Google laptop motherboards, you will see they are socketed.
>>54923723
GPU's are hot pieces of shit sitting on a BGA.
Holy shit you're dumb if you think GPU's last longer then montherboards on full use.
>>54923590
Useless for me.
>>54924202
>GPU's are hot pieces of shit sitting on a BGA.
So are chipsets, especially older ones. And manufacturers also tend to skimp on heatsinks for those, so they may run hotter than GPUs under full load.
And anyway, like 75% of busted motherboards I've seen failed due to caps, not BGA chips.
>Holy shit you're dumb if you think GPU's last longer then montherboards on full use.
Only if you limit the scope to high-end gaymen GPUs maybe.
Hell, at work I've had like 80 shit cards from Rage 128 Pro to Radeon HD4000-something, all passive-cooled so you could cook eggs on them even in 2D mode, and not a single one of them failed in more than a decade those computers were in use.
>>54924334
Limit them to high-end GPU's in general not gayming. Quadro ain't gayming.
Also, chipsets are way cooler, even with those tiny headsinks a southbridge never runs over 60C.
We only have one chip on boards since a long time, because the northbridge is integrated into the CPU.
Don't forget, GPU's have caps too. That was not the point, you can replace caps easily on both.
>>54923662
They clearly mean it takes up the space usually taken by PCIe slots, don't be so autistically specific.
>>54924189
that's only if they use a full voltage CPU, none of this ultrabook bullshit
as ULV CPUs are mostly all BGA as are ultra portables like the X2xx thinkpads.
>>54924378
In all-in-one motherboards, this space *isn't* usually taken by PCIe slots.
>>54924189
Non-ULV chips are typically socketed, ULV chips are always soldered past Core 2 era.
I have an ASUS N56VZ laptop.
The CPU is in socket, and the GPU is soldered.
Found this pic to show.
>>54924555
Say that to my i5 laptop
>>54924614
>ulv
>>54923590
It's probably more expensive than just buying an adequate mainboard + 1070 without the option to upgrade ever, hurray.
>>54924614
If it's socketed, either it's not an ULV i5 or you're mistaken.
now that ATI is finished, why bother allowing customer choice ?
>>54924681
It's not like you have a choice if you want an all-in-one PC with a high-end GPU.
WHY would you want an all-in-one like that is another question entirely, but look at all the faggots buying 10-pound gaming "laptops" that can't function without a mains socket...
>>54924624
>>54924687
Are you saying i5 is ULV? Atom is ULV.
>>54924699
All jokes aside, that what Nvidia would do being the only one on the market.
>>54924818
i5-xxxxU is ULV.
i5-xxxxM, i5-xxxxHM is full voltage.
>>54923590
would love to see thermi working on a laptop literally an arsonsist dream
It's supposed to be meant for VR backpacks. Think about it.
>>54924911
you do realize laptops with non-M versions of nvidia chips exist, right
>>54924938
>backpack
>200-watt GPU
am I supposed to also haul a truck battery or what
>>54925011
Hey man I didn't say it wasn't a retarded idea I'm just saying that's the intent.
>>54924818
do you know what ulv means you dumb sack of shit?
>>54925011
Going somewhere. And then plug it in the wall.
Wall sockets are common in houses.
>>54924378
Don't be a mouthbreathing illiterate. It never had PCI slots. It's a completely custom board. The person who wrote that article should be shot.
>>54924941
oh i know but maxwell was never so hot to begin with..
>>54923626
There are plenty of socketed laptops. It's only recently with ultramemes that they removed that feature
>>54923600
>'pc games console'
>>54926125
I think it is sad that they always design these SteamBoxes or whatever, too small.
That way they all overheat because they have poor cooling.
>>54926398
size is there only selling point
>>54926530
I know. But when they cant perform at all. Nobody will buy them.
> not realizing that the rx 480 is going to be a godsend for valve
> not seeing the obvious potential for substantially cheaper steamboxes
do you even economics?
>>54923673
lolno
>>54924818
Holy shit just leave
