Of course, I knew going into this review that the Tiki was small – it’s the mini-ITX model in Falcon Northwest’s lineup, after all – but I didn’t expect it to be quite this small. This marks my first hands-on experience with a Tiki, and not only does this 2022 version offer the latest and greatest in system components when you configure one, but the enclosure design has evolved quite significantly since 2018, as well (more on the current higher-airflow iteration in a bit). We haven’t looked at a Tiki system here at PC Perspective since July 2018, when some guy named Ken reviewed one. We’ve lived through a couple of rough years, so let’s throw caution to the wind. Sure, you could order one (depending on stock levels) on its own, but what better way to get your hands one one than inside of one of Falcon Northwest’s ultra-compact gaming PCs? Come on. The Tiniest Prebuilt Powerhouse Gets AMD’s Fastest Gaming CPUīefore getting into today’s Falcon Northwest Tiki review, I’ll mention that this very day marks the beginning of official retail availability for AMD’s new Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the first CPU with the AMD exclusive 3D V-cache technology that has been called the “ new gaming champion”, among other accolades.
