Not a huge uplift from the prior gen solutions when you are rolling with PC5600 SODIMM's, particularly when you can nab a GMKtek K8 Plus (Ryzen 7 8845 hs + Radeon 780m barebones for $350 shipped on Aliexpress

The Ryzen AI series mobile APU's benefits tremendously from the LPDDR5x / 7500 onboard memory option (soldered to the mainboard) vs DDR5 PC5600 SODIMM's as the bare bones mini PC that is the subject of this post is configured to use. If you want modularity to install your own components, stick with the older 8000 series

Also consider that for $899 you can get the GMKtec version with 32 gb of much faster LPDDR5x/7500 RAM and 1 TB of storage via Amazon which is a far more reputable seller : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DS5XLRVQ

ETA prime benchmarked two generations of mini PCs, one featuring the older R7 8845HS / 780m with PC5600 SODIMM's and the other with the AI HX 370 (890m) with PC7500 LPDDR5x and the Radeon 890m, which is the best case scenario for the newer APU and resulted in about a 20% uplift in GPU performance. You will NOT get the same benchmark results even with the same Radeon 890m in the Acemagic F3A because of it's gimped PC5600 RAM, it will perform more like the Radeon 780m but in a much more expensive system... which makes it a terrible buy.

Yea, the AI Max+ 395 w/ Radeon 8060s is a whole different league, figure 3x the speed of the 890m even w/ LPDDR5x... but for now the only example available is the Asus Flow tablet/laptop that runs over $2k. Curious how this will translate into mini PC's without the cost of the display, battery, keyboard, etc...
