14 DAY TRIAL // Back in early January, even before CES 2011 started, we've caught word about Sapphire rolling out its own mini-ITX board based on the Fusion platform from AMD, and now, it seems that the aforementioned component has already gone on sale, at least across Europe.
So, as Fudzilla reports, Sapphire's Pure Fusion Mini E350 board has already gone on sale at several online shops across Europe, the pricing for such a hardware item being set at around 130 Euro, which is not that bad, given the fact that, after all, we're talking about a latest-gen product.
As some of you will certainly remember from our previous report on this topic, the board is built around the Hudson-M1 chipset and also comes equipped with two DDR3-1066 SO-DIMM slots, for adding enough memory in order to make this thing run at very good speeds.
Plus, Sapphire has also added a PCI Express x16 slot to the mix, should the user decided to add an extra graphics card, as well as plenty of connectors, including here five SATA 6.0 Gbps interfaces, a D-SUB port, and, naturally, DVI and HDMI ports as well, enabling users to output video to just about any type of display they see fit.
Last, but certainly not least, it's also important to point out that the Sapphire Pure Fusion Mini E350s board sports Gigabit Ethernet networking, a debug LED, Bluetooth 2.1, 7.1 channel audio, eSATA connectivity (one port) and two USB 3.0 ports, for ultra-fast data transfer rates.
Of course, it remains to be seen just how many end-users will opt to build an entire desktop system around the new platform from AMD, but we'll refrain from passing judgment on such a solution until we get to enjoy some hands-on time with AMD's Fusion offering, hopefully at some point in the near future.
