Gigabyte Unveils BRIX with Iris Pro 5200 Graphics
At IDF, Gigabyte unveiled its latest BRIX mini-PC variants, running Core i7-4770R and Core i5-4570R processors. The two chips embed Intel's Iris Pro 5200 integrated graphics, which features 40 execution units, L4 eDRAM cache, and more than double the integrated graphics performance of a regular Core i7-4770. Sadly, to accommodate these chips, BRIX needed to stretch out, and is almost double the thickness of 2nd generation BRIX, running regular variants of Core "Haswell" processors. Gigabyte didn't use the added thickness to add more ports, either. You get room for a single 2.5-inch SATA 6 Gb/s drive, and two mini-PCIe gen 2.0 slots, one of which holds the WiFi+Bluetooth card. The BRIX with Iris Pro lineup is expected to start at $500.

i should also say that is the pricing for the mobile series. intel does not seem to have pricing info for the desktop models....
the price isn't resonable considering performance and cost.
intel maybe insane, but i'm awake.
HOWEVER Your both right $700 (including other parts) for something a AMD APU will fill for half the price :banghead:
I can't "game" with it, and it might be overkill for a HTPC, and any "normal" consumer would never touch it's potential.
