The KFConsole is a vaporware home video game console announced by KFC Gaming and Cooler Master.[1] After its initial announcement in June 2020, it was widely believed to be a hoax, until an official reveal in December.[2][3][4] The console boasts various features, including ray tracing, up to 4K resolution, and 240Hz output.[5][6] The signature feature of the device is a proprietary "Chicken Chamber" that can store and warm chicken.[5][7] No price or release date have been given, and it is unclear if the console will ever be released.[8]
Design[edit]
The KFConsole's design is inspired by KFC's Bargain Bucket.[9][10] The console itself is an all-black cylinder with a backlit red power button on the front below the Chicken Chamber, which has the red KFConsole logo on it. The Chicken Chamber is a drawer that opens to reveal a compartment for storing food, which uses the system's heat and airflow system to warm the contents.[5][11]
Specifications[edit]
Technically, from what is known of the KFConsole, it is more-closely related to a gaming PC than to a traditional home video game console, as it is not being developed by a video game company to run proprietary software, and is being billed as having upgradable components which most consoles do not feature. The KFConsole is powered by a Intel NUC 9 Extreme Compute Element.[12] The console is capable of harnessing Nvidia's ray tracing and 4K resolution, with support for 240 Hz output.[5][13] The device also has support for virtual reality. The Asus-powered graphics will apparently be housed in a "first-of-its-kind hot-swappable GPU slot" which, according to KFC, will keep the device as "the most powerful console for generations to come."[14]
Release[edit]
The KFConsole was officially announced on December 22, 2020.[9] No official release date has been announced for the console, and the pricing has also not been revealed.[15]
