Mini PC Ryzen 5 4500U review

@TimMatrix

Compared mini pc to desktop pc (Ryzen 7 4800U v Intel Coffee Lake i5-9600K) as Intel win head down in desktop and workstation performance and cost £140 less!

Mini PC Ryzen 4800U with addition ram 16GB, NVMe 500GB total £666
Intel i5-9600K with cpu, motherboard, addition ram 16GB, NVMe 500GB and Air Performance Cooler £526 (use my own tower case, power supply and other SSD/HDD)

My pc built:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £526.91 (includes shipping: £0.00)

Or go for this board Asus for £30 more as it has dual native M.2 and NVMe PCIe RAID support for lightning-fast storage speeds https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...151-ddr4-micro-atx-motherboard-mb-6d7-as.html

I wouldn't compare CPUs with userbenchmark as its heavily biased towards Intel CPU and shows the 9600k only 5% behind the 5950X when in truth we know the AMD CPU totally destroys it.

Also for only £20 more you can get the hyperthreading enabled 10600K which also comes with a free game although you need Z490 motherboard.

you really shoudlnt be comparing mini pc vs desktop. small form factor that packs such power is in a different league to desktops.

i love these small form PCs i am waiting for the day someone clever enought to figure out hot to fit a 3.5inch HDD or a 2.5inch HDD that can talke upto 8TB to be fitted inside one of this then i will definitely get one. saves so much desk space and can be hung behind the monitor

being small is also very power efficient i suspect.
