    I had wanted a ryzen 7940HS/HX laptop without a dGPU, but it's not made yet. So, I ordered a 7940HS minisforum unit and was completely blown away as to how efficient and fast this thing is. In fact, I'm setting it up to daily drive replacing my 13900K/a770 for a week or so just to see if I miss the power or the 13900K. If you are going to do these comparisons in the future where you compare power usage, you absolutely must do power usage over time (ie, Joules), not just how much power it's drawing during your render. Right now, AMD is very much on top and I hope Intel has an answer in the future (as in yesterday - Xe is showing it's age). The 7940HS is more efficient than any other processor I have and if I lived in an area with frequent power outages or high prices for electricity that forced me to use a solar backup, I'd pick the 7940HS as it's going to run considerably longer on a battery backup system than anything I've tested. PS: These things are WAY overpriced when you consider that they don't have keyboard/mouse/monitor and only make sense as a desktop replacement.

      Correction. The Intel NUC versions is overpriced. A serious Laptop for more heavy workload is still more expensive than a desktop system, and a dedicated Gaming Laptop that really can push the newest aaa games is extremely overpriced. These 7940Hs and 740 radeon NUCs pack a good punch for both reasonable gaming performance and also some really good multithreaded performance without costing a fortune and being very power efficient. Unless you seriously need the highest single core performance and most effective gpu encoding both Intel and Nvidia has totally lost ground control of how much you can push power usage and prices to claim to be the fastest in class. Intel IS already beaten, Next in line is to get Nvidia either to leave the gaming market for good or start making products that makes sense for normal users.

    As far as the professional workload and the AS6 consuming "more" power. If you calculate the load out over the shorter amount of time that it has to run that load, it's actually still more efficient than the NUC. 26 min at 65W = 1.69kW total consumed vs. 18 min at 72W = 1.29 kW consumed. If Reece had to render something while on battery backup, better to get it done faster and be done sooner before it shuts down IMO.

    • @janickpauwels3792
      @janickpauwels3792 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you do the math/science, then please do it properly. W and kW is a unit of power, not energy. The intel NUC consumes 28 Wh (not 1.69 kW) to do the job, while the AMD consumes 21.6 Wh (not 1.29 kW). The calculation: 26 minutes is 1560 seconds. A device that consumes 65W of POWER during 1560 seconds, will consume 65 x 1560 = 101400 Ws (Watt-seconds) of ENERGY (which is 101400 J (Joules)). It's the energy that you need to pay for, not the wattage. 101400 Ws = 101400 /60 /60 = 28 Wh (Watt-hours) = 0.028 kWh (kilowatt-hours). Your conclusion is still correct. 🙂

    I use the last Intel NUC Laptop and be very happy with it. This is a little beast and i love the under 1k bucks for it. A dream come true also with a Raid 0 for no other than just i would have one in my lifetime. I waited 20 years for it. Last step is buy a second ssd. :-) I think Intel did a mistake to give up these little computers.

    In my experience the Intel made NUCs have much better build quality than these Chinese OEMs, not to mention a more stable BIOs and some other really minor perks (love the SD card slot for one thing, or Qi charging top lid) but eh, AMD go brrrr Intel bad hurrr.

    Picked up a Beelink 7735HS mini PC and it's near 6800/6900 ground of performance. Architecture is the same, but I use it for work and performs so good being all I do is web based apps. The random time I was able to play a game waiting for a car to come in can still play Halo Infinite just over 40fps...

    Give me a NUC replacement with thunderbolt, similar accellerators and support in drivers and the open source community. I am not sure if there is anybody sane who buys a normal NUC for gaming. Those AMD based platforms usually are not supported well in many "not that new" frameworks. Means that they cannot take advantage of certain accellerators, because nobody ever implemented it for those AMD CPUs. So in many real world szenarios, the Intel CPUs have less load on their cores. That does not mean they are faster, that only means the CPU could do other stuff in the mean time. And this is were the sweetspot for tech users is: You have broad support, things just work, and your CPU doesn't get blocked by things, that yould be processed differently.
    There are whole industries who cannot use AMD, because the CPU has unadressed problems. Take audio producers as an example. This does not mean AMD is bad, but there are heavy downsides to their architecture and they are simply not providing enough support and code to the open source community.
    I do not want to rant against UFD Tech or AMD, but comparing products is way more complicated than running a few benchmarks (for gaming and rendering?! wtf?!) and going through the spec sheet. If you want benchmarks, test how the USB ports perform. There are huge differences that are not visible in the spec sheet.
    Or to put it in other words "A stronger engine does not make a better car". It is very complicated to figure out all the differences and impacts and help people out there to make an informed choice.

    If you want a lower power version get something with the AMD U series like the 7730U or 7740U system instead. I got a a ASUS PN50 4300U in 2021 and it runs at less than 20w. Yes only quad core but more than enough to browse the web watch videos etc mounted using the VESA mount at the back of my TV

  • @Crustenscharbap
    @Crustenscharbap ปีที่แล้ว

    I had a mini PC for 2 weeks and I think they are not as special as you think. The CPU is fast. But the Graphics is still very slow and not as efficient as you think. This AMD PC takes about 70-80W at gaming. My R5 5600 takes about 20-30W and when I limit my my RX 6600 to 50W my PC will take about 80-100W at gaming. Its not much more but the graphic is still faster. And if this is too slow I can pump 120W to my GPU and it will be even faster.
    The 2nd problem is the the cooling. Its really, really cheap. Some youtuber open the Asus PN53 (its exactly the same PC as this Geekom) and the colling system is really crap. And you can't replace it. I had a Minisforum and I cant adjust any fan curve and the fan was spinnig up 5-10 times a minute at watching videos.
    3rd problem was the power brick is external. Think about that. 4th problem: the Mini PC is on you desk. All cables are also on you desk. 5th: You are sitting much closer tho it and hear the fans much louder.
    Mini PCs are good for office. Thats it!

Think schools / universities/ grand parents etc that need basic needs and as mentioned, secured behind a monitor and sip power. But also can Dow your home videos, basic streaming needs, secondary home pc etc.🥰😇💪👍

    Intel has been kind of shit since they came out with their i series. They build three different chips, but just limit the capabilities of the chip by blocking out different cores, because it is cheaper to just limit it rather than building totally different chips with inherently different capabilities. Plus they have been getting lore and more proprietary.
