I'm reading performance scales pretty severely with power, up to 20% higher GPU performance going from 25W to 50WThe article states "with a default TDP targeted at 45 W" in the second paragraph.
The RAM, M.2 2280 PCIe SSD, and 2.5-inch SATA 3.0 HDD are all available for further upgrade and expansion. 360° AIR VENTS Performance Rating | Unigine Heaven 4.0 | Unigine Valley 1.0 | Unigine Superposition | ComputeMark v2.1 Performance Rating - Percent
The two HDMI ports support dual displays up to 4K 60Hz or you can use the USB 4 Type-C with appropriate adaptor output for a single 8K 60Hz display. The USB 4 port found on the front of the UM690 can also be connected to an external GPU ( eGPU) for even faster graphics performance! There are also 4 USB 3.2 generation 2 ports, and one additional USB 3.2 generation 2 Type-C port for connecting peripherals to the Ryzen mini PC. If you are looking for a small form factor mini PC for gaming or other resource intensive uses, look no further. The HX99G is an absolute BEAST for it's size.
But while the Ryzen 9 6900HX only offers a modest boost in CPU performance, it includes Radeon 680M graphics which should bring up to twice the graphics performance over the Vega 8 integrated GPU featured in the previous-gen chip. The pcie slot is a 4th generation and can accommodate a much faster m.2 ram of upto 8000MB/s but the one that comes with the system is similar to a standard gen 3 ssd of around 3000MB/s. AMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HX features 8 Cores / 16 Threads based on the highly-reputed Zen 3+ Architecture. Productivity Boost The top can easily pop out since its not screwed in and does not close well to stop dust getting into it.UM690S: Up to three monitors can be connected at the same time with a maximum resolution of two 4K@60Hz plus one 8K@60Hz. UM690 is equipped with one USB4 port for the best-in-class 8K@60Hz display experience. By connecting to the USB4 port and two HDMI ports The reason I feel it doesn't deserve all 5 stars is because I am disappointed in the case. There's not much to a mini case so I would think it should be fairly easy to make a cost effective protective shell that's nice to look at. Mine arrived with some permanent scratches across the top so off to a bad start. Then getting inside to add a drive I had to very carefully pry and peel off a glued-in plastic plate piece that's only purpose is to cover the screws for the actual bottom plate. Not a horrible experience but unnecessary in my opinion. The exterior shell of the case is made out of aluminum and is a very solid design. The bottom cover is plastic & can be removed by unscrewing four screws that aren't hidden beneath the footrests.
The built-in GPU has also been upgraded to AMD RadeonTM 680M, which significantly improves 3D graphic performance over the prior model. Furthermore, because it has a USB4 Type-C port with a speed of 40Gbps, it can accommodate a high resolution display of up to 8K @ 60Hz. The primary specifications include DDR5 SO-DIMM x 2 (maximum 64GB) for memory, M.2 2280 x 1 for storage, 2.5 inch SATA SSD / HDD x 1, and dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. HDMI 2.0 x 2 and USB4 Type-C x 1 are the display outputs. The body measures 127 x 128 x 47 mm, the VESA mounter has a pitch of 100 x 100 mm, and a complete model with memory and SSD as standard equipment (OS pre-installed with Windows 11 Pro) is available in addition to the barebone kit. With the photos, what kind of a maniac, puts a hot cup of coffee, on top of a tablet, still, nice to have 2 USB C ports and 2 HDMI ports. It is powered by AMD Radeon™ 780M processor, and comes with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed. Support 2 x HDMI 2.1 & USB4 Port ×2 (Alt PD). The new Rembrandt SoC is accompanied by an appreciable boost in integrated graphics performance. The AMD Radeon 680M in the UM690 is a great iGPU that offers much more muscle than the Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7. Based on our testing, our review unit is 50 per cent faster than the Minisforum Neptune Series NAD9 (with Iris Xe Graphics). For gaming, we tested a couple of the latest and most played esports titles at 1080p resolution. The performance was measured between the AMD Radeon 680M, AMD Vega 8 and Intel Iris Xe-LP integrated graphics.If there was a way to add a dGPU to this, it would win me over. That’s what I foresee as the big upgrade for this system in the future. It only has an m.2 port, it doesn’t have a Pcie Slot. No expansion port like on their previous (5700g) model. And eGPU solutions would work well, but that itself costs almost as much as this unit. Perhaps I should look into SFF PCs instead of Mini PCs. Minisforum UM690 features AMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HX, AMD Radeon™ 680M Integrated Graphics, DDR5 Dual-channel memory, 512 GB PCIe 4.0 SSD, and the most advanced USB4 Type-C port. It is a fully equipped mini PC that boost your productivity and provides the best entertainment experience. I like that I recognized component brand names when I looked inside and when listed in device manager. Minisforum has launched a new mini PC UM690 of its Venus Series. The new UM690 featuring AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX, AMD Radeon 680M Integrated Graphics, DDR5 dual-channel memory, PCIe 4.0 SSD, and the most advanced USB4 Type-C port. It is also their first mini PC with AMD 6000 series CPU. And Gargf pointed me in the right direction for some 6800HS laptops that would also work, I've been looking for a replacement for my aging XPS 9550 and the Zen3+ parts look like a good fit.
