Minimalist Design
In minimalist design, form follows function. ASUS CG8250 reflects this philosophy with its tilted form which facilitates the entry of cool air to the chassis from below. This improvement allows the fans to spin slower and keeps noise to a minimum. As well as being cool on the inside, CG8250 is cool to the touch with its anodized aluminum bezel and steel chassis. These carefully selected materials and finishes ensure that it will look great in any modern interior.
The latest 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ Technology
This smart processor automatically delivers extra performance on-tap with Intel’s Turbo Boost technology 2.0, while intelligent multitasking via Intel hyperthreading technology lets you do more at once. Whether it’s HD or 3D, gaming or multimedia, this desktop can handle it all
Advanced 3D Gaming and Beyond
Break through the boundaries of your screen! NVIDIA software automatically transforms hundreds of PC games into a full stereoscopic 3D experience for immersive gaming and stunning realism, all supported by the latest graphics technology, including NVIDIA PhysX and Microsoft DirectX® 11*. NVIDIA 3D Vision technology also offers 3D in movies and even photos!
Ultra-fast USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s
Experience lightning speed data transfers at 4.8Gbps with USB 3.0 - the latest standard. Built to connect easily with next-generation components and peripherals, USB 3.0 transfers data up to 10X faster than USB 2.0 while remaining fully backward-compatible. The CG8350 also has native SATA 6Gb/s for up to twice the delivery throughput of regular SATA and improved scalability, so your data moves faster and more reliably.
Eco-Smart EPU
The CG8250 maintains the ASUS commitment to creating environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient products through meticulous design and innovation, helping reduce their carbon footprint and mitigate environmental impact.
