The Tomahawk could easily be mistaken as a GPU enclosure at first glance, like the Razer Core X. However, this isn’t actually the case as the Tomahawk is the entire CPU unit – motherboard, processor, GPU, hard drive, RAM, and PSU.
It is said to have a company Intel-specific unit with up to an Intel Core i9 CPU and up to an Nvidia RTX 2080 GPU. Along with this, it is said to come with up to 64GB and SSD storage.
The Intel piece is part of the company’s Next Unit of Computing platform called the NUC 9 Extreme Compute Element.

If you’re into building it yourself, the Tomahawk N1 is for you. It is the standalone chassis.
Both the Tomahawk and the Tomahawk N1 are expected to be available in the first half of 2020. Pricing is yet to be announced as well but we’re expecting it to be on the higher end of the budget spectrum. Even the N1 alone is to be pretty pricey. A premium chassis already hits beyond the USD 100 mark thus we can expect it to be higher up there.
Ram found his love and appreciation for writing in 2015 having started in the gaming and esports sphere for GG Network. He would then transition to focus more on the world of tech which has also began his journey into learning more about this world. That said though, he still has the mentality of "as long as it works" for his personal gadgets.
