Test: Foxconn MARS

Specifikationer

Vi er stødt på begrebet Quantum Force et par gange, og hvis du sidder og undrer dig over hvad der ligger i det begreb, så kommer der en kort forklaring her.

Performance, without compromise; Foxconn Quantum Force products are engineered to maximize computing power, providing only what you need for break-through performance. If you want to build lean, mean machines with more bang for your buck, come join the force.Designed for extreme overclocking performance with rock-solid reliability, Quantum Force products are enjoyed by enthusiasts, gamers and power users around the world.

More than just a series of products, Quantum Force represents a way of thinking for computer enthusiasts, and a sacred guideline for our engineers and product designers. We call this design process “SWORD”, and every engineer and manager working on Quantum Force products is bound by this philosophy.

Altså en hel design filosofi der skal sikre at du får det ypperste stykke konsumelektronik Foxconn kan frembringe....overhovedet....nogensinde....i verden  :-)  Der er oven i købet lavet flotte logoer og et helt manifest der skal forklare tankegangen bagved.

 
Det lyder jo rigtig fint, men som altid er det jo øvelokalepral indtil vi har hørt orkesteret spille et hit. De fleste med en vesterlandsk baggrund vil nok ryste lidt på hovedet af denne form for produktionsfilosofi, der kan virke en smule overgearet. Men ude i østen elsker man den slags hype, og vi må jo et eller andet sted sige at det lader til at virke. Og kan Foxconn virkelig frembringe nogen fantastiske produkter til min PC, så skal de da ikke høre noget for det, Quantum Force eller ej.

Herunder et par ord fra Foxconns hjemmeside, og en liste over specifikationer for selve bundkortet.
