CyberPowerPC and Syber Gaming out new desktops that are literally super-cool

It seems like every other CES 2017 announcement involves a new gaming system or accessory. If anyone ever thought that PC gaming was dead and that only mobile devices and consoles matter, this year’s selection of new PC gaming products should put those fears to rest.

The latest company to announce their upcoming gaming systems is CyberPower, which along with its Syber Gaming division is introducing a number of new and updated gaming PCs.

CyberPowerPC is selling a gaming PC with the first discrete Intel graphics card
Intel Iris Xe DG1 graphics card.

CyberPowerPC, a well-known computer manufacturer, has surprised gaming enthusiasts with a new prebuilt desktop that can now be found in Best Buy. On the surface, it's a budget gaming PC like any other, but looking deeper into the hardware reveals an unprecedented choice. The system comes with a discrete Intel Iris Xe DG1 graphics card -- a GPU that most people have never even heard of. This raises some questions and might make people wonder: Are there now three, and not two, contenders in the graphics card arena?

The question can be put to rest almost as soon as it's raised -- Intel is not currently in a great place to compete with AMD or Nvidia. However, despite the fact that Intel's Iris Xe was never meant to end up inside a gaming system, CyberPowerPC still found some use for it. The resulting desktop is being sold at Best Buy for the low price of $750. Aside from the surprising choice of GPU, the other components are what you'd typically find in a budget gaming desktop. CyberPowerPC's aptly named Gamer Xtreme Gaming Desktop comes with an Intel Core i5-11400F processor, a 500GB SSD, 8GB of memory, and a set of gaming peripherals.
