Alienware also make Steam Machines.
not fall into the trap, it is in fact huge performance difference between the 12 models.
Last fall Valve presented their plans to go right at the forefront of the living room PC manufacturers as well as konsollmakere. Steam Machines have standard PC components, but the form factor is similar to a living room PC and the experience will be similar to the one you get from a console.
Valve has, however, no concrete plans to create Steam Machines themselves, and assign this task to various hardware manufacturers, which we have just been watching the results in the form of 14 new Steam machines.
Looks are not everything however, and the more important is the performance of the small and simple machines can produce in competition with major game platforms and traditional consoles.
Ranked
Test experts in Futuremark, sitting on a mountain of information about how a bunch of components similar to those we see in Steam machines perform, has now compiled a list where they compare the hardware of the various machines.
This can be naturally only do because it is common PC components used, and several existing computers with equal component compounds the different Steam machines have already reported data for the company.

Both beasts and wimps
Simply Steam machines with confirmed hardware is rated, but so far it’s Origin PC Chronos is the most powerful powder keg, a cut above the next. To boast the first place had a juicy Core i7-4770K processor and two Nvidia GeForce Titan to.
According 3DMark program their are talking about big performance differences between the various boxes, which is not exactly surprising all the major prisdifferransen into account.
So far the worst does not 1500 dollar machine from Swedish Webhallen it, sticking with the preliminary price for most performance for the money. This includes an Intel Core i7-4771 processor, an Nvidia GTX 780 graphics card, 16 gigabytes of memory and 1 terabyte hybrid storage.
What Gigabyte wants to achieve with their Brix Pro is however a bit unclear as it does not even drives up with dedicated graphics.
For a yet unknown price must in fact make do with Intel’s integrated Iris Pro chip, and it is quite clear that it’s important to read the specifications before you buy your Steam machine if you want it to cope with the existing consoles.
Since all performance measurements are executed under Windows, they are not necessarily fully representative. All Steam machines will in fact run a heavily modified and games optimized version of Linux, which can increase the performance of components.
