[AMD] Raven/Raven2 PCIe GPP Bridge [6:0] [1022:15d3] 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. When using the increased power configuration (POR 35W adjusted with RyzenAdj) the consumption increased whilst under load as follows: As you can see the 16GB model outperformed the 8GB model by a fair margin. With 7% difference on PassMark, 3% on PCMark and 9% on 3DMark.

During the stress test the maximum temperature I recorded on the top of the device was around 35.3°C in an ambient room temperature of 18.0°C and the fan whilst audible it was not excessively loud measuring 42 dBA on my sound meter next to the device.PCI bridge [0604]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

I also found that the BIOS Power On Reset (POR) setting was 25W rather than the 35W used in the Beelink GT-R. By changing this BIOS setting to 35W:OpenGL: renderer: AMD Radeon Vega 10 Graphics (RAVEN DRM 3.40.0 5.11.0-37-generic LLVM 12.0.0) v: 4.6 Mesa 21.0.3 With an NVMe slot and a SATA connector, you will be able to expand the device to a staggering 16TB by swapping the existing system SSD for an 8TB one and adding a secondary 8TB SATA SSD. Looking at the detailed monitoring during Fire Strike showed an alarming maximum temperature of 97.66°C:

Inside the Beelink SER is an AMD Ryzen 7 3750H. This is a quad-core mobile processor with eight threads and a Radeon RX Vega 10 graphics cluster. It has a 6MB cache and can run at up to 4GHz without breaking a sweat, in part because it has a relatively low heat dissipation (at least for a desktop PC). So I rebooted into Ubuntu and monitored the CPU temperature and frequency when running a stress test: Host bridge [0600]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

For real-world testing, I played some videos in Edge, Chrome and Kodi on Windows and in Firefox, Chrome and Kodi on Ubuntu. Whilst no issues were encountered playing up to 4K 60 FPS videos on Windows, this highest quality played on Ubuntu but continually dropped frames and 1440p yielded better results. and the ability to add an additional 2.5” SATA drive to the lid which is connected to the motherboard via a short ZIF cable: Non-VGA unclassified device [0000]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

The 3750H is good but not that good. After all, it is a mobile APU and one that was launched almost three years ago. So keep that in mind. PCI bridge [0604]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
