It's amazing they can keep that cool enough in the small form factor case.
The Vega 24 GPU they're using has 1,536 shaders. It's faster then an Nvidia GTX 960 or AMD Radeon 560.

AnandTech and PCPerspective have reviews of it:

I read a review of these earlier and they are impressive. I only with they were cheaper. The review I read's sample came in at $1,600. The opted for Optane, and SSD, and 16GB RAM. I don't think you'd need Optane if you're just gaming. However, a mid to high range gaming PC in this form factor is extremely appealing. If I could get one complete with a 512 SSD and 16 GB of ram for less $1,000, I'd jump on it.

You'd think Microsoft would make the X-Box X compatible with PC gaming. They need to stop pushing the Windows store and try to get Valve on board ( I know this would take a Dickens' Miracle). Imagine having a console that could run your steam library, have M+KB support, and play 4K Blu-Ray with HDR support.
