Celeron, LPDDR4X and Pico-ITX

< p class="p text-width">An Intel Celeron N6211 from the entry-level SoC series Elkhart Lake serves as the basis for the Zotac Zbox PI336 Pico, which measures just 115 x 76 x 20.7 mm (W×D×H). Two processor cores manufactured in 10 nm and based on the Tremont small-core architecture and a CPU clock of 1.2 to 3.0 GHz should be sufficient for running Windows 11. The CPU with Gen11 graphics unit is supported by LPDDR4X type RAM with 4 gigabytes and 3,200 MT/s.

In the Zotac portfolio, the Pico series, previously represented by the Zbox PI335 Pico, has the smallest footprint and is below the “nano” -Series settled. While the price for the Zbox PI336 Pico is not yet available, the predecessor with Intel Gemini Lake currently costs around 230 euros.
