<span style="line-height: 21px; font-size: 14px; -webkit-text-stroke-color: transparent;">One of the things on my watch-list for Computex this year was to try and find Kabini desktop parts. Where it sits in AMD’s product stack puts in square in line for various desktop</span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; -webkit-text-stroke-color: transparent;"> applications, and its SoC/BGA nature means that it will be integrated on motherboards for an all-in-one experience. Yesterday we certainly found a few, but not all of them were in the main motherboard channels – some of them are/were designed for IPC segmentation.</span></p>
<p>
<strong>ECS</strong></p>
<p>
The first model that caught my eye was on the ECS booth:</p>

<p>
This model will be released to the market, and is a single model offering the A6-5200 SOC with singular PCIe 2.0 x16 support as well as up to 16 GB DDR3.</p>
<p>
<strong>ASUS</strong></p>
<p>
We almost missed the ASUS Kabini motherboard when turning a corner into their ROG segment:</p>

<p>
The ASUS model looks more akin to a thin mini-ITX spec, featuring SO-DIMM and different power augmentation to standard desktop platforms.</p>
<p>
<strong>ASRock</strong></p>
<p>
The ASRock Kabini was specifically in the IPC section of their booth, suggesting that it might not see end-user etailers.</p>

<p>
The IMB-A180 is a base model for three different Kabini SKUs, with dual core and quad core Jaguar parts. This is more of a combination of the two models above, with ATX power but a PCIe 2.0 x4 and SO-DIMM.</p>
<p>
<strong>Other Kabini Spotted</strong></p>
<p>
We mentioned on Monday regarding the Kabini variants of the Gigabyte BRIX (Intel NUC variant), which might offer a more complete system barebones, and the MSI booth is due up today: I will be looking out for more.</p>
<p>
<strong>Update:</strong></p>
<p>
Touring the MSI booth at Computex yielded one Kabini model on display, which is expected to be launched in 4-6 weeks.</p>
