Gigabyte launches BRIX Extreme mini PC with Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U
The Gigabyte BRIX Extreme mini PC is getting a modest spec bump this year. The new BRIX GB-BER7-8840 is a 139.1 x 134.2 x 43.8mm (5.5" x 5.3" x 1.7") computer with an AMD Ryzen 7 8840U "Hawk Point" processor, 2.5 Gb Ethernet, and support for up to four displays. It's very similar to the BRIX GB-BER7-7840 from 2023. The only real difference is that it has a newer processor, but the only difference between the Ryzen 7 7840U and 8840U chips is that the newer model has a slightly higher-performance NPU that delivers 16 TOPS of AI performance rather than 10 TOPS.
