The Great Equalizer: KFC Unveils KFConsole Powered by Intel x ASUS, Cooler Master, Seagate (Featuring Chicken Chamber)

The dankest of memes has come out of the digital underworld to spread fear through all chickens out there in the world. KFC has announced the KFConsole, a development made in partnership with Intel, ASUS, Cooler Master, and Seagate, do deliver a console that "runs better than any other console" - which means bugs relating to chicken movement have been ironed out before release. The chassis is a KFC chicken bucket-shaped one, and is based on Intel's NUC 9 Extreme compute element paired with an unspecified ASUS graphics card - that supports ray tracing.

According to Cooler Master, the console supports 4K gaming, ray tracing, and supports up to 240 Hz displays. A 1 TB NVMe SSD is also inside, obviously. And KFC has found an ingenious, marvelous way to reuse all that wasted TDP that manifests in the form of heat with a purpose-built compartment - the Chicken Chamber), where users can download their chicken wings in the middle of a gaming session to heat them up via the power of the integrated hardware choices. A sure nail in the coffin for the current console wars - Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo must be collectively trying to fly away from this monster (and failing). And I can already hear the collective noise of scalpers rubbing their hands at feeding their pockets, and their mouths as well.

lynx29Do air fryers make food taste good? I read they are horrible... my Dad has been considering getting one though... any tips for us to get good taste out of it?
It taste fine to me, it is a very convenient way to cook fries, nuggets and hotdogs. I don't like my food greasy so it is good to me. I love using the air fryer to heat up food vs a normal oven. Like the other commentator is air fryer is basically a convection oven. They use hot heated air to cook food but unlike an oven, air fryer is a forced convection where they use a fan to blow the hot air on the food.
It maybe a matter of taste here air fryer makes food rather dry and food with oil it would remove quite a number of oil from it when you cook for it. Oiless fries taste ok for me since I dip them in sauces and with it being dry it absorb sauces well, eaten by itself for fries would be a bit bland. Yeah a good tip for it to be dry is to add a little oil into your food, the air fryer would do it thing blowing the access oil out when its cooked.

Hardware GeekThere are also those of us who can't have sugar and have to drink diet if we want a soda.
Sadly, yes. I thought it was implied. My statement still stands, though.

This is marketed as a console. But the question will be what games will this console have? What good is a console with no games? If it is just a regular PC, I am not sure I will want to buy a KFC branded one though. Lol.

I, for once, welcome our new pc master race overlords if they do an app to instantly order fried chicken in the midst of a heated gaming session.

In Spain it's december 28th. Still 6 days away, so it would seem this is really true.

If KFC can do this, why not other fast foods.
Just don't make a pink Taco version please.

Does it come with Angry birds?

You know, there are some things that would tempt me...a console like Bender's head or Firefly or heck even a Gigantor might be tempting... but a bucket of greasy chicken? No thanks if I want to be nauseated I'll just pick up a game with lots of blood and gore ;) .

Disgusting, dry mess.

A standard oven does it better in every way. But yes, you do have to check your times and temps properly, an Airfryer does that for you... but yeah. Its so mindnumblingly boring whatever comes out of it, might as well eat some paper and put sauce on it.

People who are too lazy to even drive to the cafeteria nearby for fries buy this and tell the world how great and 'healthy' it is. Meanwhile, oven fries have been available for many years and still taste better, if frying's too much fat for your taste. Gotta say I like them out of the oven better.

We always cook our fries in the oven, and yeah they are pretty good that way I agree. No bad oils, etc. It's the way to go

Not liking greasy. chicken, or not wanting to be reminded of it everytime one plays a game, is not exclusive to vegans.

due to alcohol, i was really confused why someone with a profile pic of a chicken was anti chicken

then i realised
1. someone with a chicken as their pic likes alive chickens
2. that's a dog

Happy holiday celebrations.
