KFC's KFConsole Said to Offer 4K, 240 FPS and Hot Wings

KFC, in cooperation with Cooler Master, presented a tasty next-gen game console. The device will offer 4K, 240 fps, ray tracing support and, most importantly, a food warming tray.

KFConsole in a nutshell:
  • Tray for keeping the chicken warm;
  • Intel NUC 9 Extreme Compute Element, including a i7-9750H CPU'
  • Exchangeable Asus GPU;
  • Two Seagate NVMe 1TB SSDs.

Low availability of next-generation consoles can make you look for alternatives. KFC and Cooler Master decided to take advantage of the fact, and a gaming device was created that will also heat up your food. The console is based on a i7-9750H CPU, and will also include interchangeable Asus graphics. This should allow for gaming in 4K and up to 240 fps. The most important feature, however, is the Chicken Chamber, a pull-out tray that prevents our food from getting cold while playing.

KFC's console refers in appearance to the bucket.

The Swedish modder Timplay is responsible for the appearance and functionality of KFConsole, whose design is based on the Cooler Master NC100. The console is small and the interior can get very hot under heavy load. Makes sense, since the chickens in the chamber won't heat up itself.

For the time being, we know neither the release date nor the price of the new console.

KFC is entering the gaming market more and more courageously. Last year, we got I Love You, Colonel Sanders, a dating sim starring Colonel Sanders. This year, a next-gen console was launched, and KFC's marketing staff focus a lot of of their attention on gamers. When the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed to December, it was used to promote the upcoming console in a mocking way. It's still a marketing action, but did a new player appear on the gaming hardware scene?
