Out of the blue, Aorus has revealed its idea for a next-generation gaming PC, Venture Cielo. It actually seems totally different, with its triangular stacking construction, and it’s claimed to be modular too. However is it actually “the way forward for gaming”?
As an idea PC, one can forgive Gigabyte / Aorus for being slightly mild on the main points. There are actually no tech specs to share. On first impression, I believed the three separate modular segments of the idea design could also be; CPU, GPU, and energy/storage – one thing like that. Nevertheless, Aorus’ imaginative and prescient and modular design is not like that in any respect; the idea as proven consists of “the principle system, the battery pack, and the Bluetooth speaker”. Trying extra carefully on the photos, these module descriptions apply from prime to backside. On prime, on the principle PC system unit, additionally, you will see the angel cake-like wings of the 5G antenna.
It looks as if Aorus reckons 5G is very vital to the way forward for gaming PCs. “In comparison with the normal wired or 4G wi-fi networks, 5G makes PC gaming on the go attainable by providing better bandwidth, ultra-low latency and near-instant entry to cloud gaming,” it explains, in a press launch about Venture Cielo. So, will PC gaming rely extra on nice connectivity sooner or later somewhat than having distinctive processing energy within the chassis – that appears to be the Aorus angle, which is a bit odd for the PC gaming wing of Gigabyte to advertise. Why not use an simply luggable 5G pill for such moveable high-jinks as an alternative, with a giant bonus – it has a display.
Within the product description, Aorus reveals a good looser tie to present gaming PC ideas, “Customers can mix any of the 2 elements and fulfil their wants for gaming, leisure or different cell functions.” So this idea PC would not even want the bit that’s the PC…
This is perhaps one of many first idea modular PCs of current years that I’ve no hope for or enthusiasm about. It is going to due to this fact most likely be one of many first to make it previous idea into retail, however fingers crossed for a no-show at CES 2022.
