This looks interesting although specs are scant:

The AMD Quantum personal computers will be based on an unknown multi-core processor by AMD, two AMD Radeon R9 Fury “Fiji” graphics processing units operating in CrossFireX mode with 8GB of HBM memory in total, storage and so on. The CPU and the GPUs inside Quantum systems use closed-loop liquid cooling system. The Quantum uses innovative design that has not been used by boutique PC makers yet.

“All of the processing technology is in the bottom, in the top we have got all the cooling solutions,” explained Mr. Hook. “It is whisper quiet; it is engineered and tooled out of beautiful materials, aluminium and magnesium.”

Even AMD believes the i7 4790K is a great chip.. They are popping one into their new console.
So glad I replaced my aging FX8150 with one:
