AMD launched its next-generation Radeon Fury series of video cards today, showing off Project Quantum, through which the vendor managed to squeeze an enthusiast PC with two fully unlocked Fiji XT GPUs that deliver 17 TFlops of performance and 8GB video memory.

AMD was shy on the details, but what we do know is that the components will be liquid-cooled and housed at the bottom of the SFF (small form factor) case, with the liquid cooling solution occupying the top half. The two sections are connected through a pipe of sorts. The exact figures of the GPUs were also not shared, with AMD only stating that Project Quantum will be able to handle any 4K game at 40fps with ease. The case will feature a 64-bit AMD CPU, and will run Windows 10 out of the box.

At this stage, Project Quantum is still a prototype, although AMD is working with partners in launching a solution with a custom-designed motherboard (AMD was using an standard mini-ITX board during the demo) to consumers in the near future.
It looks pretty cool. I'm looking forward to seeing it on the market. What do you think about it?
 
It looks cool, but it does not look very upgradeable. When there are more 5K and above games, you probably have a hard time upgrading the parts without spending more money than buying parts for an average sized tower desktop PC.

I think a full size Gaming Tower PC is still best for Gaming since you can install and upgrade any size of video cards into them. This mini PC definitely won't fit bigger video cards like the Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 Ti, or Titan Z into it.

I also feel mini PCs are more for doing office work, watching video, and pictures, and doing other low power tasks where upgrading mini PC are not necessary even after many years because they won't be used much for doing intensive tasks like Gaming.
