Hello, everyone! Today, I'm thrilled to introduce the all-new Beelink SE9, the first Ryzen AI-powered mini PC on the market. This mini PC is equipped with AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor and features AMD's latest Radeon 890M integrated GPU, which includes 16 Compute Units, making it one of AMD's most powerful iGPUs to date. It also boasts high-speed 7500 MHz LPDDR5x memory, which can be overclocked to 8000 MHz in the BIOS.


The Beelink SE9 has a sleek design and is available in two colors: silver and space gray. Inside the box, you'll find the mini PC itself, an HDMI cable, and a 120W power adapter (which uses a barrel jack rather than USB-C).


The SE9 includes a diverse range of ports. On the front, there’s a 3.5mm audio jack, a USB-C 10G port, and a USB 3.2 port. The back has an additional USB 3.2 port, two USB 2.0 ports, full-size DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI ports (both capable of 4K 120Hz), another 3.5mm audio jack, and a USB 4 port with 40Gbps speed. Inside, it has a dual speaker system and two M.2 slots, allowing for up to 8TB of storage. However, the RAM is soldered directly to the board and is not user-upgradable.


This model features the latest cooling system, MSC 2.0, which includes a copper vapor chamber, a silent fan, and an SSD heatsink, designed to handle a TDP of up to 65W while remaining quiet and efficient, even under heavy load.


As for specifications, the SE9 is powered by the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, with 12 cores and 24 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture, reaching up to 5.1GHz. It has 32GB of LPDDR5x memory running at 7500 MHz and the Radeon 890M GPU with a clock speed of up to 2900 MHz and 16 Compute Units, offering much better performance than previous RDNA 3 models.


In benchmark tests, the SE9 scored 2864 for single-core and 15166 for multi-core in Geekbench 6, with OpenCL performance close to that of an RX 590. On 3DMark, it scored 9443 in Fire Strike and 4181 in Time Spy.


Gaming performance is also impressive. Horizon Forbidden West averaged 47fps at 1080p, Forza Horizon 5 averaged 109fps, Shadow of the Tomb Raider averaged 56fps at medium settings (67fps on low), and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 reached 141fps using FSR 3 frame generation. Cyberpunk 2077 averaged 65fps, which is smooth for integrated graphics.


The SE9's BIOS offers various settings for customization, but it performs well at stock configurations. With additional tweaks like memory overclocking and TDP adjustments, it’s likely to reach even greater performance levels. I'll also be testing Linux and SteamOS compatibility on this device for those interested.

Small was key in my buying decision and addition to specs and cost. The was a great size. I was able to play all my 4x games. Nothing too graphic intensive. Work with VS Code, chrome, dev tools, no problems so far.

Great little machine. AMD!

Overall: recommended! Great product for taking your PC with you wherever you need to go and still having a desktop experience. We are using it to watch movies and it works well for media playback. Probably not for any major gaming but you could play a few low intensity games. Tested all ports and everything is working well. Nice style and design. Cheers

I got this product to update my gaming experience from another NUC-type PC. However just before I set it up, the laptop I use to work from home died, so I pressed it into service in that role first. This system comes with Windows 11 Pro and could not be activated until I got a product key from support, which was no trouble because the tech support team was very responsive. This is a surprisingly powerful product in this form factor, and it performed admirably under Windows no matter what I threw at it for testing, with no video anomalies which can occur with sustained graphical demands. The unit is also very quiet when employed for telework.

I made good use of all of the connections in the back as you can see in the photo under actual home use. The Ethernet did not come in through the USB-C hub connection, so I used a network cable. I plugged my main monitor in by HDMI, and got a Displayport-to-HDMI conversion cable to use the second monitor port with another display. This unit had no issues driving 3840x2160 at a good fps as well as a 1920x1280 display off the Displayport. Given that the unit has an input over 5 amps to drive all of its powerful features, I was surprised the fan did not run all of the time, but especially under lighter loads for telework I never hear it. I intentionally got something with better specs than my work laptop because the environment I login to was slow and I wanted to make sure it wasn't the CPU or graphics on my end, which it was definitely not.

Given that this product has two internal SSDs, I was hopeful that I could dual boot an additional SSD with Linux since Windows 11 doesn't seem to play well with others on the same SSD. I tried the product under Linux Mint 20.2 MATE 64-bit, using a 5.4.0-74-generic x86_64 bits kernel, and it came up okay and was much faster than Windows 11, but it only recognized the Displayport adapter. The Realtek RTL8153 USB was fully functional, as was Bluetooth, the Realtek RTL8125 Ethernet, and sound, but the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160 MHz card was not recognized. When I told it to search for additional drivers none were found. None of this means it won't work fine with Linux, especially in time with video driver, wi-fi, and kernel updates, but out of the box in June 2024 it was going to take additional work. So while I am very pleased with this machine as a Windows system, as a Linux person who hoped to dual boot it easily, it loses a star.

Having said that, I got this product primarily to use a Windows machine due to its graphics support, and it does that very well. Based on my early testing I'm looking forward to upgrade my gaming experience to this box once the new work laptop comes in. I am very pleased with this product. Recommended.

This has some great performance for a Mini PC. This is my first experience Ryzen 9 6900HX, and it turns out to be quite impressive.
Cinebench benchmark rates it quite high. I find it very responsive.
It's actually the best performance PC I now have.

It has an octal core and 32gb of Ram. This is as much as a NAS server I have in the house. I haven't tried it yet, but I expect this to be excellent at virtualization. There's room inside for another SSD above the 1TB it comes with.
