Whilst the SER3 cannot include a Thunderbolt port, as mentioned the underside of the case’s lid includes a mounting point for a 2.5 SATA drive so using ‘dism’ I cloned the M.2 2280 NVMe drive to a spare M.2 2280 SATA drive which I then installed in an ‘M.2 NGFF SSD to 2.5in SATA adapter’ and replaced the NVMe drive with a ‘PCIe x16 to M.2 NVMe adapter’: Host bridge [0600]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

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.

As an actively cooled mini PC, it uses AMD’s older 12 nm Zen+ Ryzen 7 3750H Picasso processor which is a quad-core 8-thread 2.3 GHz mobile processor boosting to 4.0 GHz with Radeon RX Vega 10 Graphics. System: Host: SER Kernel: 5.11.0-37-generic x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Gnome 3.36.9 Distro: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa)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.

When using the increased power configuration (POR 35W adjusted with RyzenAdj) the consumption increased whilst under load as follows: 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. You can see the 16GB model has a noticeably higher performance across the five sets of tests. PCMark Noting that the PassMark rating only improved slightly as whilst the 3D Graphics Mark increased from 2343.6 to 7959.9 the Disk Mark decreased from 14832.1 to 4038.2 due to the loss in performance going from NVMe to SATA.
