I also capture some basic details of the device for each OS. Windows Performance on Beelink SER3

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. 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.

Host bridge [0600]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Raven/Raven2 Device 24: Function 4 [1022:15ec]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’: I then ran Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) with default settings and achieved around 183 FPS: Our Beelink SER3 test unit comes equipped with the two-year old AMD Zen+ Ryzen 7 3750H CPU that has since been replaced by the newer Zen 2 4000H and Zen 3 5000H series.

PassMark tests the CPU, GPU, RAM and storage to their maximum performance to give us an artificial performance score.Audio: Device-1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Raven/Raven2/Fenghuang HDMI/DP Audio driver: snd_hda_intel Forget about hardcore gaming, rendering or anything that would require sheer compute power. 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.

Nearly all HTPC applications ranging from web browsing to 4K video streaming don't require the fastest and greatest CPUs which mean most users can get away with less expensive hardware. configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8169 driverversion=5.11.0-37-generic duplex=full firmware=rtl8168h-2_0.0.2 02/26/15 ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=twisted pair speed=1Gbit/s 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.
Great Deal
