KFConsole was introduced via Twitter in June with a video shared by KFC Gaming about its new gaming console "equipped with a chicken chamber." The public became so curious, most laughed at the idea of being able to cook food while playing video game on the gadget. They thought it was just a prank as it came out after Sony unveiled PlayStation 5. Well, not really.
In a tweet posted on Wednesday, Dec 23, Intel PR rep Mark Walton confirmed that the KFConsole is real. "Yes it's real. Yes, it's powered by Intel. And yes, it has a chicken warmer," Walton said on Twitter.
KFConsole: Real or Fake?
While it is true that fast-food chain KFC (long known as Kentucky Fried Chicken) released its own gaming console, it cannot cook food, according to CNET. Instead, it has a built-in chicken-warming chamber, which was showed off in another video released by KFC Gaming on Twitter on December 23.
The KFConsole's Chicken Chamber is the real game-changer as it allows players to place precooked chicken to stay warm while they are much into the game.
"Never risk letting your chicken go cold again thanks to the patented Chicken Chamber," Cooler Master's said on the description posted on its website. The developer added that it utilized the console's natural heat and airflow system, so players can focus on their gameplay while enjoying "hot, crispy chicken between rounds."
