Design
The console's shape is a black cylinder that looks like a KFC Bargain Bucket.[5][6] There is a backlit red power button on the front below the Chicken Chamber, which has the red KFConsole logo on it. The Chicken Chamber slides open, and can store food, heating it using heat and air from the console.[7]
Specifications
The KFConsole uses a Intel NUC 9 Extreme Compute Element.[8] Nvidia ray tracing, 4K resolution, 240 Hz (240 frames per second) output and virtual reality can be used.[9] The graphics hardware is made by Asus, and is the only hardware with a GPU slot that allows the GPU to be changed while the console is on. KFC says this will make the console "the most powerful console for generations to come."[10]
