  • In this review of the AtomMan X7 Ti mini PC s.minisforum.com/DanielOwen-X..., I get a chance to put the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H with Arc Graphics head to head against AMD 7840HS with Radeon 780M in a bunch of gaming tests. Is Intel ready to take the the mini PC gaming crown? Or should they try again next gen? Let's find out!

    I want one of these new mini PCs that can actually game. It's perfect for a 1080p 60 setup to just play older and less demanding games with a controller on the TV with the family etc.. but it cost so much I'd be better off buying a full PC with modern performance. One day we will get "enough" performance with low power APUs that it will be just as common to game on a small box like this as opposed to the full pc build.

      The 780xtx is fine for modern games as long as you aren't expecting 1440p or 4k high/ultra settings. I'm getting 50+ fps on Cyberpunk at medium settings 1080p fsr2.1 balanced and it looks decent. I can play fine and am not distracted by the low settings. Fallout4 runs on high settings at 1440p without issue 40+ fps no upscaling. These apu's can run at 3100mhz without issue and get about 10% more performance, plus allocating 16gb for GPU memory helps a bit too.

    I’d love to see a mini PC with that rumored 120w Strix Halo and 32GB RAM. But let’s be honest, they would charge a stupid price for it. Whenever one of these systems catch my interest, I always end up looking at the price and when I then compare it to a laptop with similar specs, the laptop pretty much always end up looking like the better deal.

      Given that its only 120watts for both CPU and iGPU the extra 8CUs over the RX 7600 will probably mean the performance wont be as better than the 7600 but it might match it. Not sure if theyre gonna use RDNA 4 or RDNA 3.5.

      Exactly this. The Intel iGPU does never reach maximum advertised clock speeds while the AMD one has no such issue. Looks like Intel is not feeding enough power to the GPU block for some reason. The same seems to be the case for the i5 and i7 with the i5 being the best of the bunch here since it has the least amount of CPU cores.

    at first when the minisforum reveal this X7 and the HX200G and the HN14X in the CES i thought all those are atomman line up. since they tend to use "classes" for their mini PC line ups. it turns out the atomman is just this one, the X7. the HX200G i think still in the neptune line up, and the HN14X is in the "NUC" line up.
    just to inform those who are curious, the HX200G has 7945HX ryzen 9 in it, with a DISCRETE RX 7600m XT(yes XT). and the HN14X(or HN149) have a core i9 14900HX and an RTX 4070 laptop DISCRETE GPU. and these 2 are the ones you looking for if you are going to use mini PC for gaming in particular.
    my only gripe is, not sure about the atomman X7, but the HX200G already rumored to be EXPENSIVE. especially the HN14X. which is ridiculous considering you could get the same spec for a gaming laptop with similar price, but laptops will come with an ARGB keyboard, touchpad built in, BATTERY and monitor screen.
    if they goes back to how they were , being "affordable", i think they have a bargain on their new line ups.

    Kinda expensive, in my opinion and if you want to game as well as perhaps video editing, an external GPU has to be added hopefully useing that oculink.
    So again while most of these small computers are cool, the better ones are a bit pricey then you have to pony up the dough for the external gpu and housing as well as additional cable's perhaps.
    While I see potential with this form factor I just don't know if it is really ready to take the place of it bigger realitives, also if you add it all up, you can get a really nice editing rig, not new, no latest and greatest , but a workhorse with good to great performance.

With AMD seemingly dropping out of the bigger GPU race I have been pondering weather if they are gearing towards more extremely powerful CPUS/APU market given that is where they are strongest. Perhaps in the more distant future GPUs wont be a thing given how well AMDs APUs perform now. I know it wont replace things like a 4090 but its food for thought

      @@Son37Lumiere probably not more expensive then my GPD Win 4 8840u and GPD G1. Its all relative. It will make sense for me as I am a Linux gamer and EGPU's are a pain in the ass on Linux and there aren't really any other options comparable to the HX200G in SFF. Nvidia is just not reliable enough on Linux. I just wish they were building it with the 7900m instead. That would have been a beast of a steam machine. I would have easily paid 2k for that. I also own an asus G14 with a 6700s and its just not powerful enough and the only other all AMD options are not available here in the Philippines. And forget importing something yourself over 1000USD. You will easily double the cost with taxes and you will be lucky to actually get it. There are customers out there for the HX, just sounds like you are not one of them. And thats ok.

      @@DjVendetta I understand your argument. But to clarify my own, you could build a really nice all AMD custom PC in an SFF form factor utilizing a Fractal Ridge or Terra for instance; a 7800x3D (or rather 7900x3D since there's not a big difference in price currently) combined with a 7900 GRE would only cost around $1400 all in minus storage. Such a system would be much faster than the HX200G and not a lot bigger, plus upgradeability. I'd be willing to bet the HX200G will be around $1200 give or take. Granted that's US pricing, if prices in the Philippines are much higher or you can't even get the components than that's a totally different story.

      @@paneledp I just checked on my 13600k using its iGPU and MSI AB version 4.65 has the same number for CPU and GPU power when using the iGPU, so unless that is different between RPL and MTL then the Intel number is total CPU package power including the iGPU. Still doesn't change the clocks on the iGPU being so terrible.
      Limiting power consumption on the CPU could fix the iGPU clocks, but that isn't out of the box, that would be tuned and it seems Daniel Owen's intent was an out of the box comparison of those two models.
      But the core ultra 185h is a 45w part with a max graphics frequency of 2.35 GHz. Any time you see less than that it is being throttled, and not by temps because that CPU was running in the low 50s.

    Meteor Lake needs some help apparently. I would also say that AMD APU's are still pretty damn mediocre! I think that "might" change with Strix Point, or Strix Halo, or whatever that high-powered one is called comes out later this year or next year. The one with 40 CU's or something crazy! I still prefer Intel mobile chips paired with a dGPU. They are just faster in general. I do own an AMD Rembrandt APU (6800H) with both 680M and 3070ti and the chip is not great. The 3070ti works well, but I hate that AMD chips now only get super hot and run at high temps consistently, while Intel stuff just seems to work at lower temps. The integrated graphics on the 6800H are just mediocre. I disable those and use the Nvidia dGPU. I have also seen reviews for AMD's 8000 series APU's and it is like......meh. AMD does make good CPU's and GPU's, but I still don't think they are great with their APU's. Thank you for sharing the video!
