Essentially, the BIOS contains settings to increase the overall power envelope from the stock 35 Watts to 54 Watts with a single option change. The GT-R allows users to easily "overclock" the system through the BIOS. The CPU can burst to 3.7 GHz on a single core for short periods. The 3550H utilizes four multithreaded Zen+ (12 nm) cores clocked at 2.1 GHz. While designed for laptops, the AMD Ryzen 5 3550H performs well in the mini desktop. We will compare the Zotac ZBOX-CI660 Nano (i7-8550U), Intel NUC Kit NUC8i7BEH (i7-8559U), and the Intel Hades Canyon NUC8i7HVK (i7-8809G). The mini PC market has some notable devices that stack up well against the GT-R. All options come with the Ryzen 5 3550H/Radeon RX Vega 8 APU, which is soldered to the motherboard. This option requires the buyer to provide their own RAM and storage drives. The GT-R can also be bought as a barebones kit for about US $400. Most of these sellers offer the GT-R in various configurations, allowing buyers to choose what RAM and storage options they want. This APU is designed for laptops, notably the Asus TUF Gaming FX705, but we will see if it feels at home in a small desktop PC and examine how much power can fit in such a small case.īeelink does not sell the GT-R directly, opting instead for third-party sellers like Geekbuying and Gearbest. The GT-R runs on an AMD Ryzen 5 3550H with an embedded Radeon RX Vega 8 GPU. While technically one of the largest devices Beelink makes, the GT-R is a compact computer that takes up about a third of the desk space of a full-sized keyboard. Today's review device, the GT-R, is one of their latest small form factor (SFF) Windows desktops. Beelink is a small Shenzen-based company that manufactures mini desktop PCs and tiny Android TV boxes.
