Intel has since woken up to their failure in this respect, and the new 12th Gen parts show solid improvements in both single-thread and multi-thread processing. and showed lower-than-expected 5.0 GHz WiFi performance. After benchmarking I disassembled the device to photograph the internals and I accidentally went too far in that I removed the entire motherboard from the case:

and lists all of the USB ports as 3.0 so I tested them together with the Type-C USB port using a Samsung 980 PRO PCle 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD housed in an ‘USB to M.2 NVMe adapter’ (ORICO M2PAC3-G20 M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure) which showed that all the ‘blue’ USB ports and the Type-C USB port were USB 3.1 (USB 3.2 Gen 2×1 i.e. 10 Gbit/s): Systém přináší kreativní prostor pro sledování a práci s aplikacemi.

Yuanshin", which requires higher graphics card performance, has an average frame rate of 41 fps at 1080P and medium special effects, but the fluency will drop below 35 fps in some complex scenes, with a slight sense of stuttering. After switching to the lowest quality, the average frame rate can be increased to 56 fps, and can be maintained above 50 fps throughout the game. Removing the base of the device reveals a plastic bay that supports adding a 2.5” SATA drive for increased storage. The bay includes a further new feature which is a small fan that not only cools the drive but also cools the motherboard and memory underneath:Overall, even if it has four fewer CPU cores, the performance of the AMD Ryzen 7735HS is better than the Intel CoreT i7-1360P used in the NUC 13 Pro in the majority of tests.

I also capture some basic details of the device for each OS. Installation Issues The above is the operation of all the games tested in this test. It is worth mentioning that the i7-1260P version of the SEi12 Pro uses an Iris Xe Graphics Eligible core display with 96 execution units, the operating frequency is 1.4GHz, and the game performance will be about 20% stronger than that of the i5-1240P. However, there is still a big gap with the SER6 Pro or GTR6 of the AMD platform.

It is also worth noting that both the SEi11 Pro and SEi12 are more expensive than the majority of AMD Ryzen-powered systems.

And, because of that device, they bettered the Windows Experience Index score by 0.1. The Beelink SEi12 mini PC features the efficient Intel Core i5-1235U processor manufactured in 10 nm (Intel 7). A chip with ten Alder Lake cores, two high-efficiency cores, eight low-power cores and the ability to manage twelve threads, the speed is between 3.3 and 4.4GHz. In the graphics section we have an Intel Xe GPU with 80 EU that reaches up to 1200 MHz. This chip has a staggered TPD of 15/55 W TDP, thanks to its different cores it always offers the minimum consumption. Memory upgrades are straightforward enough, as you simply remove the modules and replace them with larger ones of the same specification. Upgrading the M.2 drive is also problematic. As there is only one slot, therefore cloning this to a replacement will require a USB caddy.The SEi12 Pro chess benchmark score is 22311, and the relative performance multiple is 46.48, which is nearly double the performance compared to the 11th generation PC. capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt-fd autonegotiation

configuration: depth=32 driver=i915 latency=0 mode=2560x1080 resolution=2560,1080 visual=truecolor xres=2560 yres=1080 What surprised me the most is that the SEi12 Pro is very quiet when running. There is almost no sound in low-load usage scenarios, and in high-load usage such as video clips, games, and running scores, although the sound of the fan speeding up can be heard, the noise volume is still relatively low, and it will not be harmful to us. The use caused continuous interference, even if I put the condenser microphone next to it to record video commentary, there was no problem. The standby power consumption of the machine is 10-11W, and the full load power consumption is 71W. It can be said that it is more than enough to power it with a 100W portable PD adapter. The measured Ugreen 140W GaN charger can stably supply power to the Mini PC through the Thunderbolt 4 interface.

A 12th Gen Intel-based NUC

We ran multiple performance tests running games on the Beelink SEi12. The results of the Intel Core i5-1235U processor as we can see are in line with the integrated Vega GPUs that we have in the Ryzen. The integrated Intel Xe GPU with 80 EU can serve us for games in 1080p quality if they are not very demanding as the system falls somewhat short in games with a lot of 3D load. In terms of emulators, we are limited to a few simple Wii, PS2, Dreamcast and similar titles. With the launch of the Xiaomi Mini PC equipped with the Intel Core i5-1240P processor, the competition in the domestic mini PC market has become fierce. As the first Chinese manufacturer to develop mini consoles, Beelink is obviously unwilling to be controlled by others in this competition, and has successively launched three high-performance products including GTR6, SER6 Pro and SEi12 Pro. Among them, SEi12 Pro adopts the same chip solution (Core i5-1240P) as Xiaomi Mini PC and NUC12 Wall Street Canyon, but because it is equipped with DDR5-4800 memory with stronger performance, it also has certain advantages in price, so it is called by many netizens. It is the volume king in the Core host. Specification For the latest silicon, the price seems reasonable and not excessively more than an equivalent desktop machine.
