Zotac is one of the most popular hardware manufacturers in the industry. They produce graphics cards and small form factor laptops with a variety of components. Let's check out the new hardware updates to their Zotac Zbox Mini PC range and discuss what they bring in terms of performance. This is essentially an update to Zotac's Zbox Magnus One PCs, bringing the latest processors and graphics.

Zotac updates the ZBox Magnus One with Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics and 13th generation Intel Raptor Lake processors. Nvidia's Ada Lovelace architecture brings many meaningful improvements, including new RT cores and an optical flow accelerator. This facilitates AI-powered DLSS 3-frame generation for dramatically better in-game FPS.

And Intel's Raptor Lake architecture is more efficient compared to 12th generation Alder Lake processors. The i7-13700 used here is a powerful CPU, with 16 cores and 24 threads. Although not as high clocked as the i7-13700K/KF processor (benchmarks here), it is close in terms of performance.

The onboard GeForce RTX 4070 is a full-fledged desktop graphics card, with 12GB of GDDR6X memory and 5888 CUDA cores. On the back, the GPU has five display outputs (HDMI & DisplayPort). In terms of storage, there are two M.2 (2280 length) SSD slots that support PCIe 4.0 SSD, along with a 2.5-inch SATA SSD slot.
