About this deal

Venus Series UM690に搭載されたAMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HXは、「Zen 3+」アーキテクチャを使用し、TSMC 6nm FinFETテクノロジーで製造され、8コア/16スレッドをを提供、標準クロック速度は3.

I was already interested in technology from an early age, and I was able to study for my dream job as an IT Systems Electronics Engineer. Even the Phantom Canyon Mini PC is fitted with a discrete (embedded) RTX 2060 graphics card but it's not wise to compare it to that. I'm reading performance scales pretty severely with power, up to 20% higher GPU performance going from 25W to 50WThe article states "with a default TDP targeted at 45 W" in the second paragraph. It is a fully-featured mini PC that enhances your work efficiency and provides the best entertainment experience. As you can see above, the AMD RDNA 2 graphics architecture simply crushes all other iGPUs in our tests.

I originally planned to test the UM690 at 54W (for some reason the 65W setting in BIOS would revert to 30W immediately) however the system was already hitting the limit of the power brick at the default 40W, so 54W didn’t see much improvement in the few tests I measured. ReadlightWhy not best ARMProbably because Minisforum thinks they will sell more with an x86-64 CPU than with an ARM CPU.

As for thermals, the Minisforum Venus UM690 Mini PC did get a little toasty, hovering around 80C but it never went past that limit. I can’t help but feel some performance was left on the table by the 120W power brick, but this size is quite the norm for this class.

However, the Mediatek chip is unable to match the performance of an Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210, though you won't notice this in everyday use. There's also the Ryzen 7000 products that will be heading out later this year as supply gets better. Ethernet port, and a 19V barrel plug for power, so no USB-PD power here either (and sorry to disappoint, but the front USB4 port doesn’t support power input either). Neptune Series HX99G is powered by AMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HX and AMD Radeon™ RX 6600M, specially designed for gamers, creators, and mini PC enthusiasts.For performance testing, we compared the Minisforum UM690 to several other Mini PCs that we have previously tested. Our measurements showed that the cooling unit in the Minisforum Venus Series UM690 is extremely quiet under load. On the one hand, that’s not too surprising, since the two computers are nearly identical in most respects: they have the same chassis and both are powered by 45-watt AMD Ryzen HX-series mobile processors.

Looking purely at power consumption, our review unit is at the same level as the Minisforum Neptune Series NAD9, but the AMD SoC is slightly more efficient. Chinese system manufacturer Minisforum offers a plethora of compact desktop PCs tailored to a wide range of applications. com cannot be held responsible for any package that does not make it through the local customs and is destroyed due to the item being illegal in the destination country.At the same time, it’s missing features like USB PD that would make it even more portable, offering benefits that more powerful systems couldn’t match. In real-life use, the cooling solution works quite well, allowing chassis temperatures to stay cool throughout.
