Shuttle presents first XPC cube for the 8th generation of Intel Core processors
Elmshorn, Germany, 2018-07-12 – the XPC cubes are the first models in the Shuttle range to benefit from the generation leap forward to Intel's latest processor models with a 14nm architecture (Coffee Lake). The SH370R6, which is designed for home/office/workstation use, features the latest technology and offers faster working along with reduced energy consumption. There was a conscious decision to rely on the proven R6 chassis design once more.
- Triple-display-compatible (4K @ 60 Hz) via HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort
- 4x USB 3.1 (10 Gbit/s)
- Up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM
The XPC Barebone SH370R6 features four slots for DDR4 memory modules which can accommodate an overall capacity of up to 64 GB (4x 16 GB). DDR4-2666 memory can be used here for the first time - ideal for resource-hungry applications. The choice of processors comprises Intel Celeron, Pentium, Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7-CPUs of the 8000 range for socket LGA1151v2 with up to 95 Watt of TDP.
"We are delighted that we can now also offer our first Barebone for Intel Coffee Lake processors in Europe," announces Tom Seiffert, Head of Marketing & PR at Shuttle Computer Handels GmbH. "The XPC cube format still wows people even 17 years on from its introduction."
The black aluminium chassis, which measures 33.2 x 21.6 x 19.8 cm (DWH), offers space for four SATA drives, including an optical 5.25" drive. Furthermore, one PCI Express x16 3.0 slot and one being PCI Express x4 3.0 are available for expansion cards. Two M.2 slots can also be fitted with a WLAN module (M.2-2230) and an NVMe SSD (M.2-2280), for example.
2x DisplayPort 1.2 and 1x HDMI 2.0 connect the PC to monitors. All three outputs are capable of 4K resolution at 60 Hz. Four red USB 3.1 ports with 10 Gbit/s are immediately striking. In addition, you will also find audio, four more USB ports (2x USB 3.0 and 2x USB 2.0), as well as Intel Gigabit Ethernet at the back panel.
An efficient 300 Watt power supply unit is enough to drive most of the full configurations (processor, memory, drives) that are possible with the SH370R6. For particularly high-end configurations with powerful graphics cards, the SH370R6 Plus with a 500 Watt power supply unit will be available shortly.
Optionally available accessories are a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module (WLN-M), an RS-232 port (H-RS232), an installation frame 1x 3.5" to 2x 2.5" (PHD3) and the 500 Watt power supply unit (PC63J).
The recommended retail price from Shuttle for the XPC Barebone SH370R6 is EUR 261.00 (ex VAT). This pricing includes the mainboard, power supply unit and the cooling system, all pre-installed in a compact aluminium chassis. The model listed is available from specialist retailers Europe-wide upon publication of this press release.
