But the convention of Radeon Graphics' performance advantage was broken with the arrival of Intel's Iris Xe Graphics. This chip has a staggered consumption of 10/25 W TDP and the results are quite good although the GPU performance limited by consumption being a processor intended for laptops. In the box, you get a power adapter and cord, both a short and a longer HDMI cable, a VESA mounting bracket together with a small packet of miscellaneous screws. The four sides are CNC-molded in one piece, there are no ugly mold lines, and the panels are so strong that they won't bend even when squeezed hard.
The SER4 competes directly with the Intel NUC series as well as other mini PCs powered by U-series CPUs. Thanks to the efficient heat dissipation, the Beelink SER4's running stability is also good, passing 3DMark's Time Spy stress test with a score of 99. It was loud enough to be an annoyance during a face-to-face meeting but on the other hand, it allows the computer to ramp up the CPU clock speed significantly under load.The disassembled cooling system looks like the picture above, with 2 heat pipes connected to the dense cooling fins. The Mini PC in my hand also comes pre-installed with 32GB of DDR4 3200MHz dual-channel memory and a 500GB m. When you first turn on the machine, you'll hear the internal fan going at maximum speed which sounds a bit like a hairdryer! The technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network.
For many years, the Radeon Graphics integrated dibsplay used by AMD processors has a great performance advantage over Intel's UHD integrated graphics, so on ordinary thin and light notebooks, we often see Core processor + GeForce MX series mobile independent graphics. This little wonder provides an AMD Ryzen 7 4800U processor with a Vega 8 GPU that defends itself quite well. The integrated GPU is nothing to get excited about so don't expect to play 3D games at high resolution or quality settings; it's certainly great for 2D office work and video playback.Low processing loads like web browsing or video streaming may annoyingly cause the fan to fluctuate between 33 and 39 dB(A). C and the fan whilst audible was not excessively loud reaching 48 dBA on my sound meter next to the device during the test and around 38 dBA when idle.
Well, we can compare this to some of the other computers I have here at home for some practical context. In other words, the Beelink system offers higher CPU performance-per-watt but lower GPU performance-per-watt when compared to the Core i7-1165G7 NUC. The SER4 I bought came standard with a 500GB intel 660p solid state drive, a single 16GB DDR4 memory, and a frequency of 3200MHz.Among them, the BIOS battery of the motherboard is near the screw position in the lower left corner. In fact, at this performance level similar to desktop quad-core i7 CPUs, I would have no problems using this for moderate intensity tasks like coding, photo editing, or DAW/audio editing. These days, if we look around most homes, I think we'll see all kinds of computers used for different purposes in the rooms. If that doesn't have any effect it could be driver software, or an internal hardware problem in the SER4 unit itself.
Great Deal
