Intel's BTX Form Factor Launched Today

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'm-losing-track-of-all-these-form-factors dept.

Hack Jandy writes "It's been almost three years in the making, but Intel's BTX form factor finally has some retail products to show for itself. Anandtech has some extremely thorough benchmarks of the new technology and proves that BTX definitely shows an improvement over ATX for the same sized chassis. Anand claims BTX as a design win, "It's obvious why Intel waited for Monday morning to lift their BTX platform - they have a winner on their hands.""

    I'm not gonna start off by bashing the whole Intel community, and gloating about Apple, but really, would it have been so hard to incorporate those wires into a single connector?
    That kind of goat-thinking is responsible for the medicricy of today's machines when compared to Apple hardware.
