[SOLVED] What is the equivalent of the NVIDIA ION? (for year 2020)

[BLITZ009]

Taito Type X Zero is an arcade hardware system that utilizes the NVIDIA ION platform.

https://www.arcade-projects.com/forums/index.php?thread/7158-type-x-zero/


It essentially contains an Intel Atom N230 processor and a built-in Nvidia Geforce 9400M processor......all mated to a Zotac Mini-ITX board that is paired with a Jamma Video System I/O board.

However, most of these components are out-of-production.

So the question is:
What components can be used for a similar low-power, cost effective arcade hardware system?

P.S.
Personally, I'm thinking of:
-Intel Pentium Gold G5600T processor
-Either one or two sticks of DDR4 2400Mhz RAM (one stick = 4 GB)
-Solid State Drive (of at least 500 GB or more)

I think the power consumption of those components should be relatively low...........to make it work with a 90 Watt external power supply (e.g. power brick)

What do you guys think?

Neat. Never heard of these before.

The hardware you're thinking of sounds just like a USFF pc. These are tiny but basically have the specs you mentioned.

Thanks for the reply. Tbh, since I'm new to the Tom's Hardware forum, I wondered if I posted my question in the right board.

Anyways

Yup......since it's intended to be low-cost, low-power, they kept it that way to minimize space consumption.

However, I'm not familiar with device power consumption of the Intel Pentium Gold.

All I'm seeing are TDP ratings of 25-35 Watts but I am not sure.....

They are tiny systems. Check out this thread that shows pictures of them:

SOLD: HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini PCs

Today I have a few HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini PCs for sale. These were rebuilt from barebones I purchased at auction. These are a slightly different configuration than I normally sell, but they make great general-purpose PCs. Perfect for you work-from-home types given the current events. These...

Oh that's interesting.

And upon looking at the spec sheets for those, it got me thinking.

If all those components (including a 65W TDP CPU) can be handled by a 90 Watt external power brick, then what more will a less power-hungry 35W TDP CPU.........

Exactly.
