Product Information

Beelink carries several mini PCs powered by older Intel and AMD CPUs as cheaper alternatives to the newest Intel NUCs powered by the latest generation of processors. Nearly all HTPC applications ranging from web browsing to 4K video streaming don't require the fastest and greatest CPUs which mean most users can get away with less expensive hardware. When reviewing mini PCs, I typically look at their performance under both Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) and compare them against some of the more recently released mini PCs. I am now reviewing using Windows 10 version 21H1 and Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS and test with a selection of commonly used Windows benchmarks and/or equivalents for Linux together with Thomas Kaiser’s ‘sbc-bench’ which is a small set of different CPU performance tests focusing on server performance when run on Ubuntu. I also use ‘Phoronix Test Suite’ and benchmark with the same set of tests on both Windows and Ubuntu for comparison purposes. On Ubuntu, I also compile the v5.4 Linux kernel using the default config as a test of performance using a real-world scenario.

For the built-in benchmark for Shadow Of The Tomb Raider (SOTTR) using the preset of low graphics settings, 83 FPS was achieved:

As you may note, there are two configurations for the RAM and Storage. There is an option for 8GB of single channel DDR4 RAM and also an option for 16GB of dual channel RAM.
