The Future Of Mini PCs Thanks To AirJet: Zotac Zbox PI430AJ

When we first saw the AirJet technology at CES 2023 we were blown away by its potential to revolutionize cooling. Now we are finally seeing the first Mini PC with solid-state active cooling - the Zotac Zbox PI430AJ. It packs an Intel i3 with 8 efficiency cores, which wasn't possible before in the form factor. In this video Gordon checks out the new design and shows off a couple demos of this Mini PC's cooling capabilities in action. Mangy_Dog: Am I the only one not terribly impressed? I mean sure for low form factor this is great but for simple power to cooling performance. 2.4W and youre still getting thermal soak as clearly shown by the noise appearing later in the graph... 2.4W on a fan is A LOT. Bit disappointed by the performance tbh.

I'm not blaming Gordon for this trend, but E cores are atom cores. This should be selling point calling them atom cores, because those have been trusted to be efficient with power, I've even in some bios settings to call them by Atom cores. Now this Alderlake line has branded Atom chips, x7425E, x7213E, and x7211E so maybe there was a memo I missed passed out not to call them atom cores. But if you look at Ark Intel's site they are all the same spec minus the price point and efficiency per core. Now I'm an enthusiast in the mini PC area and I have 4 Up Boards (4 core Cherry Trail Atoms) in my desktop so I'm definitely a potential consumer, it just confuses me on why the branding for the E while not mentioning the A? Anyway thank you Gordon for this video I'm happy Zotac made this form factor again.

I didn't see the vid on how solid-state cooling works, but when you said there was a membrane I started thinking it is using electromagnetism to warp something rapidly so it can flatulate the heat away from the unit.
Now I will go see how it works and if I'm even close to how it works

Turning the airjet off does not give a comparison to what an actual passive system would do as it would have a larger heatsink or sink to a metal chassis, another sketchy demo.

Over here we have an old CPU with old technology. Over here we have a new CPU with new technology. Isn't our cooler neat?
