Banggoodでの価格は前述のMINISFORUM HM80の直販価格と比べると8,000円安と逆転しているのも興味深いですね。16GBと32GBの差額も9,000円から6,000円に縮小されているので、そうなると32GBも選ぶ価値が出てくるかなと思います。 The SER4 mini-PC equips numerous wired and wireless interfaces. The most notable wireless interface would be its WIFI 6E feature. It’s the new generation WIFI technology. It supports a 6GHz spectrum. The new WIFI 6E technology ensures faster internet with amazingly low latency in the connection. Additionally, it equips a LAN port for a wired internet connection. That might seem a reasonable balance, but when the Intel CoreT i7-1360P won, and it’s a 12-core CPU, its margin of victory was generally small. When the Ryzen 7000 won, it was by a much larger margin.
Beelink SER4 is equipped with AMD Ryzen 7-4800U processor, which is an APU based on Zen2 architecture and 7nm process technology, with 8 CPU cores, 16 threads, and an integrated 8-core Radeon Graphics GPU. The Mini PC in my hand also comes pre-installed with 32GB of DDR4 3200MHz dual-channel memory and a 500GB m.2 NVMe SSD. Although the Ryzen 7-4800U is a mobile processor released by AMD two years ago, its performance is still enough to beat the i7-1165G7 processor in the latest NUC 11 Pro. The results of various benchmarks clearly prove this. This high-speed processor is underpinned by lightning-fast DDR4 RAM running at speeds of up to 3200MHz. And with the ability to expand the RAM up to 64GB (dual channel), the SER4 is a micro-computer that can perfectly adjust to your workload. If storage is your concern, worry not. The SER4 features space for up to 2TB of hyper-fast M.2 NVMe storage, as well as space for an extra 1TB SATA III SSD/HDD, allowing the SER4 to store thousands of photos, spreadsheets, and more. It was on average 80% faster than a PC powered by an Intel Core-i5 1135G7 CPU when benchmarking Blender’s popular software (Monster, Junkshop and Classroom). The only spot of bother was the poor show of the Intel-based SSD which suffered from lower than expected write speeds on all the storage benchmarks.
After talking about the performance part, go directly to the dismantling of SER4. Many people may be more interested in the internal structure of the Mini PC. At present, the detailed disassembly process of this Mini PC has not been found on the Internet. First, I ran the latest version of Maxon Cinebench (R23) to test the Beelink SER4's CPU performance. Cinebench works by using all the CPU cores and threads instead of the GPU to render a complex 3D image. The test results can reveal how the PC performs when handling high-load CPU tasks. With a CPU multi-core score of 8,492, the Beelink SER4 easily beats the M1-powered Apple MAC mini and two versions of the Intel NUC 11 Pro, but trails slightly in single-core performance.
VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Renoir [1002:1636] (rev c1) The guys at Beelink are without a doubt the experts in the field of mini PCs and for good reason. Now Beelink is releasing New GTR Mini PCs with Ryzen 7 4800U, Ryzen 9 4900H and 5900HX, also a careful design that fits smoothly into any professional environment, and are equipped with a very powerful hardware configuration, thanks to the use of AMD Ryzen series APUs. They have recently released the very powerful Beelink GTR5 Mini PC with beastly specs including AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor. And now they are following up with a slightly cheaper version, but the Beelink GTR4 and Beelink SER4 are far from much weaker. Both are still a feature-rich mini PC models, and with the Ryzen 7 4800U, and AMD Ryzen 9 4900H processor, it can still put a dent in any benchmark. Beelink SER4 with Ryzen 7 4800U Compared with solid-state drives, the performance improvement of dual-channel memory is very huge. The two Asgard So-Dimm DDR4 Rams in my hand have a single memory capacity of 16GB and a frequency of 3200MHz. Now the price of memory is relatively cheap, and the price advantage of domestic memory is more obvious. Two 16GB memory is only a little more than 700. Thinking of a 8GB DDR4 2400MHz memory that I spent more than 700 yuan to buy a few years ago, it hurts too much. Have you ever spent a lot of money on memory? However, Conqueror's Blade, which has high requirements for graphics cards, has an average frame rate of only 22fps at 1080P/medium image quality, which can only be said to be barely playable, but it is difficult to really immerse people in it. However, after adjusting to 720P/low quality, the average frame rate will rise to 42fps, and the fluency of the whole picture will be much better. It’s is suitable for office, studies, and casual everyday use. It comes with AMD Radeon Graphics with a frequency of up to 1750MHz. It allows it to run graphics-heavy applications. Not only that, but you can also play video games on it. In addition to that, the Beelink mini-PC comes in a very compact size. It makes it amazingly portable.After dismantling the Mini PC, I replaced the Mini PC with silicone grease with better performance. After baking the FPU for 10 minutes, the temperature of the CPU was stable at 76°C, which is 6°C lower than when it left the factory. I believe it should be cooler if replaced with a better silicone grease CPU. The SER4 uses active cooling which is very effective. Running a stress test on Ubuntu saw the CPU temperature climb to a peak of 62°C where it remained for the duration of the test:
With an AMD Ryzen 7 APU in tow, plenty of RAM and storage, the Beelink SER is a powerful alternative to big boxes, especially if you don’t want to upgrade or add a discrete graphics card. In the Geekbench 5 test, the Beelink SER4 still lags behind the NUC in the CPU single-core score, but the multi-core score shows the advantages in addition to the crushing level, reaching 1.3 times and 1.5 times the NUC of the i7 and i5 versions respectively. Protected by a sensor for scanning fingerprints , implemented the use of digital assistants via a set of two integrated microphones , the Beelink GTR4 miniPC is powered by an octacore processor (4.4 GHz maximum) with multi-threading, AMD Ryzen 9 4900H , which is not accompanied by a dedicated GPU but uses the integrated Radeon Vega 8 . Overall, even if it has four fewer CPU cores, the performance of the AMD Ryzen 7735HS is better than the Intel CoreT i7-1360P used in the NUC 13 Pro in the majority of tests.
Finally, on Ubuntu 20.04.4 the ‘dmesg’ showed some ACPI errors and the significance of which was unknown at the time of testing: Beelink SER4 is a very good Mini PC. The Ryzen 7-4800U chip provides it with excellent performance, and the rich interfaces also give it excellent expansion capabilities. It is capable of almost all home and work use scenarios. As long as you're not a heavy gamer, then it'll do what you want. We can play games like LoL, in more demanding games like Fornite with the graphics settings in performance mode is playable because it reaches 90 fps in low quality and in DX11 mode we can reach 60 fps. If we are mainly interested in the Gaming section is better to go for a PC with a dedicated GPU where we will have a much smoother experience. Finally, on the side of thermal dissipation , in addition to what is guaranteed by the metal chassis , two fans operate in an active sense , which should guarantee a fairly silent operation, given that the TPD of the AMD chip goes to just 54 watts. Beelink GTR5 with AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX
Small Form Factor PCs, also known as mini PCs, have long been one of the main drivers of the desktop market recovery, a trend started a decade ago with Intel's NUC series. SFF PCs typically use relatively low-power mobile processors. AMD was largely absent from this market until the launch of the Ryzen family of chips. Although at present, the Mini PC using Intel series chips still has a large quantitative advantage, more and more manufacturers have gradually begun to use AMD's Ryzen processors in their high-performance SFF PC series products. Inside the Beelink SER is an AMD Ryzen 7 3750H. This is a quad-core mobile processor with eight threads and a Radeon RX Vega 10 graphics cluster. It has a 6MB cache and can run at up to 4GHz without breaking a sweat, in part because it has a relatively low heat dissipation (at least for a desktop PC). Given the Unigine Heaven scores, I decided to test three games under Steam (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Grand Theft Auto V and Shadow Of The Tomb Raider) at both 1080p and 720p using default settings in both CS:GO and GTA V and with the graphical preset of ‘high’ and ‘low’ in the built-in benchmark of SOTTR. The very respectable average FPS results were as follows: Droix customer service is very responsive and customer focussed - If you can get what you're looking for at Droix, then I suggest that you do, you won't be disappointed.For real-world testing, I played some videos in Edge, Chrome, and Kodi on Windows and in Firefox, Chrome, and Kodi on Ubuntu. No issues were encountered playing up to 4K 60 FPS videos.
Great Deal
