This impresses me more than a house-size GPU that does 8k 120fps

These things are starting to become really impressive and tempting

8 years ago, I bought the best pc parts money could buy, absent multi-gpu. Here we are, in 2023, its performance matched by something half the size of my graphics card, and consuming 1/10th of the power.

Just recently finished Spider-Man Remastered on a 6800H, which also uses a 680M. Targeted 30fps and played it at 1080p native with Medium/High settings. Ran absolutely flawlessly. It's insane how far integrated graphics have come

if Beelink uses Ryzen 7 7840HS, it would become a beast because this cpu has R780M (RDNA3 based) and supports from ddr5 5600 to lpddr5x 7500, hope to see it soon

Interesting in a special way: Starting from practically 100% CPU-calculated games of the DOS-era, over to seperate 3D-accelerator-cards besides 2D-cards, then 3D-acceleration integrated in the main-graphics-card, and maybe one day back to everything integrated in the CPU again, even for top performance (of course "some" performance is available since a couple of years, increasing as we see here).

Great video as always. I'm glad you were able to test this thing as I have been curious to see the performance of the gpu's on these nucs of sorts.

Amazed how good this little box can work with these games.

i'm waiting for one of these with the 7840HS CPU. Thanks for the video, great stuff!

Absolutely insane. I remember playing cs go on my old laptop at 1024x768 and thinking 30fps was smooth... Now integrated graphics can do 60fps 1080p.

You're the Man, Mister. I've always enjoyed your videos. Sincere regards from Czech Republic and keep up the good work you're doing ;)

Strong little beast with nice look and the most important, compact. I like it! As always good video

Impressive APU for what it is, hope it is adapted into AM5 in some way or another.

just ordered one im so hyped

Thank you for the review. I just bought this same pc from Amazon. I dont do much playing these days, more for productivity purposes, but i am certain that if i do install a few games the pc will be able to handle them.

I'd say capping games at 60fps would probably make the games play a bit better

igpus have got to be my favorite topic of discussion. Amazing how much power can be squeezed out of these things

I bet this is a lovely little box for emulation, thanks for the video

LOL i was literally browsing amazon for a mini pc and stumbled upon this one. Didn’t order it yet, but it’s hilarious that right after I close amazon you are now reviewing the exact same mini pc I was looking for.

Excellent review. I'm kinda tempted to get one for the TV now. :)

ive waited for mini pc's to reach this level for so long, finally i can comfortably purchase one for light gaming alongside my mac mini

I haven't even watched the video yet but I know it'll be top quality, as is all your content. Relatable and down to earth. One thing I want to ask is there ever a chance you'll show us a behind the scenes video of, say, your editing process? I know you use Da Vinci Resolve and I'd love to see how you edit things in post. Cheers man.

Wow never been this early, love your videos!!!!

this is the future and I can't wait for it

This is the kind of performance I would like to see from the next Steam Deck.

I want desktop parts like this. Remember when you could build a pc for less than 300? Good old days...

Can't wait for this lil box to finally arrive

You're the best tech lad in all of Europe me boy

I was considering building a PC for a similar price but after seeing this I'm not so sure I will go that route...Seriously impressive

These mobile CPU names are always so confusing. :D Great performance for an iGPU , let's see what the desktop variants will offer in the future.

Mine just arrived! Will follow your follow-up if you'll make one. Especially regarding tips&tricks. Maybe BIOS changes? Or installing ChimeraOS? Or changing MS Windows settings to take full advantage?

Nice tech review !

i really want this for my work from home pc.

I love these videos

all of the powar without breaking the bank on the powar bills love it

I like the color, it's almost the same as my Grandpa's 2002 Fiat Uno he had back in the day.

That is nuts dood!

I remember my a8 5600k, i remember not expecting anything and being constantly impressed.

Bought my sister the Minis Forum UM773. The 3400G rig I built her in 2019 was still fine for what she does, this will use less power and she can mount it on the wall and get some desk space back. Thunderbolt 4 should also be awesome.

I am anxiously awaiting the A620 chipset and lower MoBo prices.

This is really cool. I think in future you could buy mini pc entirely for gaming.

Yesss I wanted you to review that. Can you try and build a AIO pc by putting that behind a monitor ? Maybe adding a gpu by m.2?

This is amazing. I think THIS is what actually might put pressure on Nvidia gaming GPU market in a long run, especially if Steam Deck will keep living and updating. Hopefully we'll see a new revision in a year or two with this chip or an even better one. Still wouldn't say it's great on a big screen, but on a smaller one...

this is impressive and your benchmarks also answer a question id been having do igpus that run well with ultra textures run well at higher resolutions. it looks like based on the fsr your using that the answer is no. igpus do benefit from fsr thats based on their graphics card manufacturer. thankfully intel is entering the discrete graphics space so we now get an upscaling solution for integrated.

im amazed at how little power this little unit consumes compared to the performance it is outputting to the monitor. an almost solid but very playable 60FPS on almost all games depending on settings ofcourse. it is mind blowing.

Some switch emulation benchmarks would be a cool addition since that's something the Series S isn't capable of. These mini PCs are really impressive these days. It's cool to see.

I always liked tiny mini-PCs, like!

I would love to see this tested on esports titles like apex, valorant, csgo and overwatch 2

You've probably seen this comment a hundred times, but you should consider adding an emulation segment to your videos or maybe making a video specifically for emulation performance for the same hardware. Anyway great video always like seeing how these igpus fair against the newest games

Not bad, the best iGPUs have come a long way! Personally I'd go for a lower frame rate and have better quality settings, so long as a minimum of 30fps was doable all of the time with no sudden dips or drops below this.

Ideal for quiet late night gaming. However as the nights are still cold here in the UK I think I'll stick to my 130W CPU and 150W GPU to keep me warm at night! 🤣🤣

That thing’s a monster. Such a shame that I already ordered my new rig before I saw your vid.

Can't wait to see a Ryzen 7 7840HS or Ryzen 9 7940HS model. Zen 4 with the RDNA3 780m is going to be a beast!

The $650 price tag is a bit steep but given the form factor it's not the worst. The possibility that you could run this in an auto with a portable monitor and have some insanely nice gaming on the go, or simply have an incredibly clean desk with just the monitor keyboard and mouse visible and one of these powerful tiny boxes tacked onto the back of the display are also very nice. Would for certain be a beast of a HTPC VESA mounted to the back of a nice 4k display.

The future is a PC like this that can do tasks we need but back in the day, the PC had 10 KG for the same performance :D

We need to get more SFF pcs with good specs and power consumption this one is nice

If this iGPU is this good, I can't wait for RDNA3 one!

Packing all this performance in this little square indirectly means the stuff in it is extremely power efficient.

Nice. Curious to see how the rdna 3 apu changes things

Didn't the Vega M GH do this back in 2018? It was the mobile CPU and IGPU that Intel and AMD both worked on

This is the apu that handhelds like steam deck deserves.

Can't wait for the 780M!

You can get around 30 percent more gpu proformace with the highest end apu btw but the peformance seen in this video of a midrange cpu is still impressive

Nice video

They say this is going to be the future of gaming. I like all the aesthetics of a desktop pc, "rgb lighting and so on" But these are far more practical. Not everyone has the room for a huge desktop tower to hold all those big components. these would be ideal for someone living in a micro apartment or even in a camper van. The only thing is are they upgradable like a desktop or are they just like a laptop, pretty much no upgrading at all? They are getting closer to high end desktop performance so they are pretty tempting.

I'm sure its sufficient for some Casual Gamers. I would love to see this one in laptops which have no dedicated graphic card.

God your so good at what you do

Finally!!! I have been watching the Ryzen APUs for years... actually before that I toyed around with the A-10 and was unimpressed. I did get a steam deck, but wanted a desktop replacement. I have been going back and forth on a few of the desktop APUs and even made a few lowball bids on ebay but didnt win anything. Finally I snagged a SER6 Pro, the 6800h with 32g of DDR5 4800mhz ram for just under 400$ shipped. So good!!! Just amazing! My entire steam library is easily playable, I dual booted a few different Steam OS builds and they ran maybe even better on a few games. I can play everything I own at 60 FPS. Some 1080P medium/high, some 1080p low and a few games I run at 720p. But I grew up with the Atari and commodore 64. I honestly dont care if I never colud have anything beyond 720p as long as it plays well. 4k gaming is just wasted on me. For non gaming aplications I just dont see any reason to ever build a full sized pc again. I am moving to Thailand in a year and sold my gaming desktop and have never been happier. I can carry this gaming desktop in my personal shoulder bag or carry about 40 of them in my carry on. It was tjis exact video that made me finally pull the trigger. I dont know how much of a difference there is between my 6800h and the 7735HS but I cant imagine its more that a few percent either way.

G'day Random, WOW! the performance of these little PCs is getting seriously good, especially considering the amount of power they use, Going by the 680m it will be interesting to see what performance the AM5 APUs have, Also I wonder if AMD will one day be a move from monolithic to having a CPU Chiplet + GPU Chiplet + IO as the APU design

Impressive Indeed

Running Cyberpunk 2077 at an actually playable image quality on an iGPU for 40W power consumption....damn impressive

I wonder if prebuilt companies considers these APUs for producing full size low budget systems(which will have great upgrade path too)!

What is the power usage when gaming and when browsing social media or a website ??

Have you tried the dynamic resolution scaling on MW2? It works wonders for me. Gives me a stable 60

I’m interesting how will the cpu with 780M feel like?

Dont forget that steamdeck using 40fps vsync to get smooth experience. So it's possible to increase some graphic settings too

Nice video, I'm just wondering if does it have a bios settings? if so, does it support resize bar? I think it still can be set even if you're using an igpu

It's nice to see it can run modern games but it was never built for that. How would it perform with 2007 and up era gaming. Can it max out the original Far Cry at 4K with everything on high? What about the original Crysis, Bioshocks, Battlefields, etc? That's what it was primarily designed for, to get the most out of older titles.

i recommend adding Destiny 2 to your benchmark list, its free to play, widely popular and can run on low end hardware, but its also weirdly demanding, i think it would be a great edition

I have the just the same mini pc and i cant get modern warfare 2 to start. Windows updates are done, game is completely downloaded, amd graphic drivers updated, AND IT STAYS IN THE LOADING SCREEN. Any help????

IDK if you do know it but this CPU/GPU is a laptop unit. Yup, the TDP is like 95C. It is fine running at that level. I have a laptop with the much lower level R5 5625U that due to BIOS limitations can only use 512MB system RAM and still is able to run World of Warships at 1080p and get 60 FPS most of the time. The thing runs about 90C while gaming BTW.

would be interesting to see hogwarts with denuvo removed, but i know you wouldn't test it because of the piracy aspect but it'd be interesting to see the difference

85C ouch ..... all they needed to do was make the box 2cm 2.5cm bigger/taller and pop on proper heatsink/fan and it would be around 60-65c

Weird it took this long to match the PS4 in the TMM category (especially since the PS4 itself is just a PC in a fancy box) but I'm glad we got there eventually.

Actually, for those who have lesser demands or really just need an office PC, they have cheaper offerings as well. Cheap and good value, it's quite rare to see those 2 attributes going hand in hand

Cant wait till they become affordable alternatives for low end gaming

I wish this was actually a buy-able desktop APU instead of the Beelink stuff.

in mw2 when you put the resolutoiion to 90, you could have also enabled fidelityfx sharpening to make it look better without veriable resolution.

Those little iGPU machines seems tempting. Never going back to intel myself, after owning a ryzen 7 3700u laptop and playing most of the games I like at respectable fps, maybe in some years I'll buy one of these PCs. Cheers RGiHD!

I love these. This is basically what game console should’ve been. While yes it’s not as powerfull as a ps5 or xbox s/x, it’s still powerfull enough to play modern games with low power usage, it’s not that expensive than a console, and it’s still usable to be a computer I sure wish steam would release the new steam os for the public. Or make a console like these Or heck, release this again with a keyboard like back in the commodore days

What are the differences with the Minisforum UM 773 lite ?

Watching this and I wondered what my default settings were for my video card, discovered I had G-Sync off with my FreeSync monitor and have not been using variable refresh rate, just the set max refresh rate that matches my monitor. I didn't know it was off or how it got shut off or even when. Frame limits work a treat I guess. I know they do with reducing lag spikes when the card is being pushed but with V-Sync atleast enabled because it can do just enough more fps to cause screen tearing. Limit to monitors max speed and the card will only work on doing that and nothing more, Something happens that will cause a lag spike will be a smaller lag spike due to having more hardware resources available for it. Ofcourse the lag spike will happen because what caused it exceeds your hardware but it will be smaller and more tolerable and far fewer small ones will happen making the game smoother over all, just not perfect butter smooth. *Edit 10:10 Texture quality does not have an impact on performance until the VRAM is full. Have 32 GB RAM and integrated graphics with 8+ GB reserved for the GPU or just Auto? Then crank that texture quality up to max so the GPU or CPU doesn't have to work on downscaling the textures. Max texture quality uses the actual textures, anything less and the CPU or GPU(depending on game engine) has to downscale them so they take less memory. Rendering them in game takes the same to do an 8k texture as it does a 1k or less texture. Remember texture quality settings is for VRAM rather than FPS.

Could you test this with rpcs3, yuzu or cemu? RPCS3 especially would be interesting to see since it is very CPU intensive without pushing the GPU too much.

When used for gaming daily that maybe push the APU to 80°C or more, does it reduce the APU longevity?

better than any computer from 2012 maybe 14

I don't know when the last time you played cyberpunk but it has had major performance increase

Definitely buying this hopefully can run gta fivem

What discreet GPU from days past do you think it's equivalent to in terms of rasterisation power?

Should mention the price somewhere as well. From what I’ve seen, these things are nearly £800!

I really like this mini pc, but it's disappointing that there aren't many mini pc's on the market that include thunderbolt support. I ended up building my own mini pc with off the shelf parts, and it took me nearly a month just to find a mini itx motherboard with thunderbolt support (it's a z590 with TB4). A powerful mini pc is amazing because it's much easier to take with you and use at, say, a friend's house, but adding an egpu is just as great a bonus because the pc can reach its full potential and avoids needing a second gaming pc for home. I don't expect the gaming market to see this or agree with me, but it would be nice to see...
