ASUS ExpertCenter PN52 can draw power from any USB Power Delivery-enabled display or device, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter to create a neater, uncluttered workspace. Based on ASUS internal testings. Unless otherwise stated, all performance claims are based on theoretical performance. Actual figures may vary in real-world situations.
ASUS secured the #1 spot for motherboard market share as of 2017, with DigiTimes reporting that the Taiwanese PC component giant owns 45% of the motherboard market. ASUS ExpertCenter PN52 can support up to four 4K displays via two HDMI ® ports, DisplayPort™ over USB-C ® or other user-configurable ports, without any limitation on the combination used. ASUS ExpertCenter PN52 delivers breathtaking 8K visuals at 30 frames per second via the configurable standard DisplayPort or DisplayPort over USB-C. Experience a level of detail that’s 4X greater than 4K, or 16X that of traditional FHD output.Note that the H-series chip in the PN52 is the kind of CPU intended for gaming and other power-user notebooks. Only the ExpertCenter D500 uses a "true" desktop CPU; the Geekom and NUC CPUs employ lighter-weight mobile chips. Let's see how that plays out. Productivity and Content Creation Tests However, when it comes to GFXBench, that is Apple's game. The Mac mini beats all of its competitors by a country mile in both of the benchmark's subtests. Even as a pre-built machine, the Asus PN52 is a competitive-enough mini PC. However, the Mac mini's graphics processing appears to be more powerful, regardless. We subjected the ExpertCenter PN52 to our standard desktop benchmark suite. In our tests, we compared the ExpertCenter PN52 to several other recommended mini PCs: the Apple Mac mini (2020), the Asus ExpertCenter D500, the Geekom IT8 Mini PC, and the Intel NUC 11 Pro Kit. Please note that ExpertCenter D9 Mini Tower includes two up to 2 TB M.2 SSD drives and one up to 2 TB 3.5” HDD. A second 2.5” HDD of up to 2 TB can be optionally fitted by the user, for total HDD capacity of up to 4 TB. With this benchmark, we run both the main test and PCMark 10’s Full System Storage subtest, which measures the program load time and throughput of the boot drive (these days, almost always a solid-state drive).
M.2 slot on the bottom cover side only supports PCIe Gen3 x2 If the SATA is connected to HDD or SSD WiFi 6E network card is available on selected models. The connectivity of WiFi 6E band may vary according to the regulation and certification of each country/region. Please note that ExpertCenter D5 Mini Tower includes two up to 1 TB M.2 SSD drives and one up to 2 TB 3.5” HDD. A second 2.5” HDD of up to 2 TB can be optionally fitted by the user, for a total HDD capacity of up to 4 TB.
The Ryzen 7 5800H inside the Asus PN52 is a decent processor most often used in mid-to-higher-level laptops. Given these results and the fact that these type of applications would likely be the most popular use of the PN52, most users would be pleased with the performance of the system. However, the Mac mini simply seems more powerful for close to the same price, a trend we'll see continue to play out in the visual rendering arena. Graphics Tests
