Are there any mini PCs with Zen 5?
- wmf 2y agoYou could probably put a 9700X in a MS-A1. Besides that it will take a few months.
- hajile 2y agoI think there's a lot of hope for a Strix Halo mini-PC. We currently have 7840HS+6650M with two massive heatsinks just barely coming in at what you would consider a large mini-PC rather than a SFFPC. Just one chip cuts the heatsink demand in half. The cores should be faster and it moves from 28CU up to 40CU and from RDNA2 to RDNA3.5. As long as the cross-core-complex latency isn't as bad as the HX370, I think it could be a real winner for a long time as it's basically an upgraded PS5 that runs Linux/Windows.
- moffkalast 2y agoHell I'd settle for a Z1 SBC or even mini PC. They can't seem to keep up with demand for these new chips to put them into any sort of products that don't have complete mass appeal. It's impossible to find one that's not in a handheld gaming console. I doubt they'll even make enough of the Halo to cover laptops.
- wmf 2y agoZ1 is basically the same as 8840U which you can find.
- sliken 2y ago"AMD Strix Point expected to debut in October, claims AOOSTAR" was a new headline I've seen. Seems about right that laptops (higher margin parts) land a few months before the SFFs. I'm excited about the strix halo that has more cores, double the GPU, and double the memory badwidth (to keep the GPU fed).
- JonChesterfield 2y agoThere seem to be some on hawk point but not many. I'd like to replace a PN50 (4800u system) from years ago but am attached to it being small enough to fit in the cable tidy under the desk - the 4" form factor seems to have grown a little over time.
