MSI has a new Vortex W25 mini-PC workstation which features Intel 8th-gen processors and Nvidia Pascal Quadro graphics.
The Vortex W25 is the workstation version of last year’s Vortex G25 mini-PC. Beyond minor cosmetic changes and the Nvidia Quadro graphics card, there are few differences between the W25 and the G25. Specifically, the W25 comes in three configurations, all of which are equipped with an Intel i7-8700.
The graphics choices on offer are the Quadro P3200, which is based on the GTX 1060 mobile, and the P4200, which has slightly fewer shader units than a GTX 1070 mobile.
The W25 also has Intel’s new 1.73Gb/s-capable 9260 wireless solution with Bluetooth 5.0.
