Beelink SER9: Compact AMD Zen 5 mini-PC announced with Radeon 890M iGPU but limited eGPU options

Beelink continues to introduce new mini-PCs and accompanying accessories at a rate of knots. To recap, little over a month has passed since it released the EQi12, EQR6 and the EX eGPU dock. Now, the company has turned its attention to AMD's new Strix Point architecture, which it plans to offer inside the SER9.

Fundamentally, the SER9 looks like the existing SER8 (curr. $749 on Amazon). However, Beelink has equipped the former with the newer Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, which contains four Zen 5 CPU cores and eight Zen 5c CPU cores that can all boost to 5.1 GHz when necessary. Additionally, the 4 nm APU has a 54 W TDP, which it shares with its Radeon 890M iGPU that possesses 16 Compute Units (CUs) based on AMD's RDNA 3+ architecture itself.

Reportedly, Beelink also plans to equip the SER9 with LPDDR5x-7500 RAM and a pair of M.2 2280 slots for up to PCIe 4.0 SSDs. Added to that, the SER9 features a single large fan that the company claims allows the mini-PC to run almost silently in many scenarios. While Beelink has not confirmed pricing yet, it has suggested that it will start selling the SER9 next month. Furthermore, the mini-PC will ship with the following ports:

• 2x 3.5 mm jack
• 1x DisplayPort 1.4 (4K/144 Hz)
• 1x HDMI 2.0 (4K/60 Hz)
• 1x RJ45 (2.5 Gigabit)
• 2x USB 2.0 Type-A (480 Mbps)
• 2x USB 3.2 Type-A (10 Gbps)
• 1x USB4 (40 Gbps)
• 1x USB Type-C (10 Gbps)
