Since the Intel NUC is starting to move away from what it was in the past, it doesn’t hurt to look at alternatives that are more compact, that fit into small places without the user having to worry about cooling, so we take advantage of the echo Beelink SER6mini-PC with AMD Ryzen 5 6600H, and its “brother”, the Beelink SER6 Prowhich has AMD Ryzen Ryzen 7 6800H.

AMD Ryzen 5 6600H implementing Beelink SER6 is a mid-range APU with six physical cores, twelve threads (two threads per core via SMT), base clock frequency of 3.3 GHz, plus frequency of 4.5 GHz, 3 MB level 2 cache, 16 MB of level 3 cache and that it runs at 45 watts according to the official file. It uses an AMD Radeon 660M with RDNA 2 architecture as integrated graphics, so it should bring a significant improvement over the Vega architecture that has been recycled in several generations of APUs.

The AMD Ryzen Ryzen 7 6800H Beelink SER6 Pro is a high-end APU with eight physical cores, sixteen threads, a base frequency of 3.2 GHz, a maximum clock frequency of 4.7 GHz, 4 MB of level 2 cache, 16 MB of level 3 cache and runs at 45 watts. As integrated graphics, it brings AMD Radeon 680M based on RDNA 2 architecture.

Both models apparently use the same chassis, so their dimensions are approx 126 x 113 x 42 mm approximately and how connections include two HDMI 2.0 ports, one 2.5Gbps Ethernet port, one USB 4 connector, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, one USB 2.0 Type-A, one 3.5mm audio jack and a power connector. At the wireless level, it has Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.

Both the Beelink SER6 and Beelink SER6 Pro can be purchased with memory configurations of 16GB DDR5-4800 RAM along with 500GB of data storage via PCIe 4.0 SSD in M.2 2280 format, or 32GB of RAM and 500GB of storage in the same formats. . They are expandable up to 64GB RAM, 2TB M.2 2280 and have a SATA 3 port for a 2.5-inch hard drive or SSD.
