3D performance and gaming performance

The integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics unit in the Bmax B9 Power provides a solid basic configuration for everyday tasks such as office, media playback or simple image editing. However, current benchmarks show that the iGPU cannot keep up with newer graphics solutions in terms of performance, such as those from current models like the Geekom GT1 Mega. The performance is hardly sufficient for modern gaming or graphics-intensive applications. Unfortunately, the Bmax B9 Power does not offer the option of boosting 3D performance with an external GPU via USB4 or OCuLink.

Verdict - Simple home office PC

The Bmax B9 Power impresses with strong performance thanks to the Intel Core i9-12900HK, good connectivity and the ability to operate up to three screens simultaneously. However, this is not a unique selling point, as many other mini PCs can also do this. However, the Bmax B9 Power is well suited for office, multimedia and productive work. The case is functional but simple and overall the mini PC offers a lot of power in a small space. In terms of price, however, the Bmax B9 Power currently has a hard time, as there are better equipped alternatives for over 500 euros.

I was already interested in technology from an early age, and I was able to study for my dream job as an IT Systems Electronics Engineer. Subsequently, I started 12 years of military service, during which I learned a lot about technology and constantly kept my knowledge up to date with the latest developments. As I like to share my knowledge, I found Notebookcheck was a very good opportunity for this. In addition, I also work a lot with water cooling and network security.
