Ataribox is the name of the gaming console, which will come pre-loaded with dozens of games and powered by a Linux-based operating system optimized by Atari to consume less CPU and RAM usage, as well as to allow users to customize the OS as they see fit to further increase the performance of the device for their needs. Under the hood, Ataribox is powered by an AMD processor and uses recent AMD Radeon graphics technologies to offer users the best possible gaming experience, yet you’ll also be able to use the console as a PC for the big screen or a TV set-top box for streaming video and audio, browsing the Web, connecting with friends on social media, run apps, and more.
