Geekom AX8 Pro AI NUC PC review: AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS with 32 GB DDR5 RAM and 2 TB SSD in a 0.47L chassis

Name: Geekom AX8 Pro
Brand: Geekom

New paint and new SoC!

Geekom took the opportunity of the recently upgraded NUC design and is now also shipping AMD SoCs in compact housing. The manufacturer is not afraid to install the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS. We took a closer look at the Geekom AX8 Pro and classified its performance based on numerous measurements and benchmarks in this review.

Visually, the Geekom AX8 Pro is certainly an eye-catcher. Geekom draws on its own portfolio and installs an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS. The AMD SoC should bring a significant increase in performance in terms of 3D performance, as Geekom has not yet used Meteor Lake processors. In the top configuration, 32 GB DDR5 RAM and a 2 TB SSD are installed. We have already seen several times in the past that Geekom does not necessarily market inexpensive devices. This is also the case with the Geekom AX8 Pro, which costs 999 euros in the best configuration. This is already an offer, as the manufacturer's RRP is 1,099 euros - a proud price that Geekom is charging for this device. At 879 euros, the Geekom AX8 Pro with AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS, 32 GB RAM, and 1 TB SSD is slightly cheaper, but still no bargain.

Geekom itself is probably its biggest competitor, as there are often attractive offers among slightly older devices that are technically on par with the Geekom AX8 Pro. The Geekom AX8 Pro also has to prove itself against devices from other manufacturers in this review.

Case - Sturdy chassis with new color top processing

The basis of the Geekom AX8 Pro is identical to the Geekom XT13 Pro which in turn shares the housing with the Geekom XT12 Pro. As an AMD counterpart, the Geekom AX8 Pro gets the chance to prove its performance with the same compact base. The devices only differ visually, as the housing of the Geekom AX8 Pro is painted blue. The silver and white components of the in-house counterparts are, as usual, of excellent quality and fit together perfectly. However, there are differences in color due to the different materials. The casing is predominantly made of metal, although the lid and underside are made of plastic. At just 548 grams, our test device is lightweight, and the Geekom is also very space-saving in terms of its footprint (11.7 x 11.2 centimeters). The Geekom AX8 Pro can be attached directly to a monitor using the VESA bracket supplied.

Size comparison

Equipment

When it comes to external interfaces, the Geekom AX8 Pro can't quite compete with its Intel counterpart aka Geekom XT13 Pro. At first glance, there are hardly any differences, but on closer inspection, it becomes apparent that the Geekom AX8 Pro only has a USB4 interface. This is not too bad, as the expansion options are still there. Thunderbolt functionality is also omitted. The Intel models (e.g. Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit), which was once launched as the NUC series and is now marketed by Asus, does however offer Thunderbolt support. The interface layout is identical, and the Geekom AX8 Pro also scores points in terms of numbers despite its compact design.

Communication

The Geekom AX8 Pro gets a familiar wireless module that we have already found in other Geekom mini PCs. The MediaTek Wi-Fi 6E MT7922 WLAN module can also handle the newer 6 GHz frequency range if the router offers this option. According to our test results, this is also recommended, as the transfer rates are noticeably better than with a connection in the 5 GHz frequency range. We used the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 router for the test. Alternatively, an RJ45 socket with 2.5 Gbit/s is also available to the user.

Accessories

The Geekom AX8 Pro comes with a 120-watt power supply unit and a VESA mount including mounting material. The manufacturer does not include any other accessories such as a keyboard or mouse.

Maintenance

The Geekom AX8 Pro can be opened from the underside without any major obstacles: Only four small screws need to be loosened. The base plate also serves as a passive cooling element for the SSD. The RAM and mass storage can be replaced if necessary. However, the Geekom AX8 Pro no longer offers any upgrade options. If you want to clean the CPU fan, you have to remove the board and cooling unit. With a little dexterity, however, this is not a problem.

Sustainability

The Geekom AX8 Pro is a very compact mini PC. Nevertheless, the manufacturer packs the device with manageable accessories in a comparatively large box. The dimensions are very similar to the packaging of the Geekom XT13 Pro. The Geekom XT12 Pro, on the other hand, was delivered in much smaller packaging. The approach taken by Geekom with our test model is not in line with sensible sustainability in terms of the space required for shipping. The device itself is predominantly made of metal and plastic. However, we do not know whether the manufacturer uses specially recycled materials for its production. Geekom receives praise for the 36-month warranty period.

Performance - Plenty of power thanks to AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS

The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS is a high-end processor and offers more than enough power for most applications. If you only have rudimentary office tasks to complete, you can also opt for a less powerful device. Alternatively, the Geekom AX8 Pro can also be equipped with the slightly weaker AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS is also available. Both SoCs are native 8-cores and offer 16 logical computing units. When it comes to RAM, 32 GB DDR5 RAM is always a good choice, although at least 1 TB is installed for mass storage.

Test conditions

We use the "Balanced" energy profile for all performance tests with the Geekom AX8 Pro. There were only deviations from this in the power consumption and noise measurements according to our Test criteria. In accordance with the manufacturer's specifications, Geekom allows the SoC to operate at the lowest power consumption. In figures, this means a power limit of 45 watts under continuous load, although up to 60 watts are allowed for short periods. The BIOS itself is very simple and allows practically no changes. Changes to the power limits of the SoC and the allocation of RAM for the iGPU are not possible. Only the fan presets can be changed. Performance mode is activated here by default.

Processor

The Geekom AX8 Pro is equipped with a AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, which is also found in the Geekom A8. In a direct duel, however, the AX8 Pro has to admit defeat to the A8. However, with a performance difference of only two percentage points in the performance rating, we can state that both devices offer almost identical performance. In the individual tests, the Geekom AX8 Pro cannot always prevail against its competitors. The Meteor Lake-powered devices in particular (Minisforum AtomMan X7 Ti and Acemagic F2A) can clearly set themselves apart in the multi-core tests due to the higher number of physical cores. In terms of single-core performance, however, the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS is on par with an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H.

Cinebench R15 Multi loop

The Cinebench R15 endurance loop is an extreme scenario and stresses the processor with recurring endurance tests to determine how well the cooling system works. Geekom itself specifies a TDP of 45 watts. This can only be achieved at the beginning and drops from the second run onwards. The continuous load reduces the performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS is reduced even further. Compared to the competitors, the final result is very sobering.

DPC latencies

The Geekom AX8 Pro is not convincing in terms of latency. We document similarly high values to the Geekom XT13 Pro. Even simply surfing the Internet results in high DPC values. The playback of the 4K test video and the short stress test have no negative influence on the DPC values. The utilization of the iGPU is noticeably high at over 60 percent during video playback. The iGPU of the Geekom A7 was only utilized to 30 percent in the same test. A similar result to the Geekom AX8 Pro was already delivered by the Geekom A8, which we also tested in the configuration with the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS.

Mass storage

The Geekom AX8 Pro gets an SSD with 2 TB of storage space in the top configuration. More precisely, Geekom has installed an Acer N7000 here. Physically, the mass storage is optimally connected, resulting in high transfer rates in the test. Nevertheless, the SSD in the Geekom AX8 Pro cannot deliver the performance that we achieved with the Geekom XT13 Pro. There is no noticeable difference in performance during normal use. The stress test shows excellent performance. With one small exception, we documented a stable read performance. The passive cooling unit is sufficient to dissipate the heat quickly enough. Only one mass storage device can be installed in the Geekom AX8 Pro. This distinguishes our test sample from the Intel-based Geekom XT13 Pro, which can be equipped with a total of two mass storage devices.

Graphics card

The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS offers the AMD Radeon 780M - a very powerful iGPU, which was already used in the Ryzen 7000 SoCs. However, the performance has not changed significantly. Rather, it depends on what power limit the manufacturer grants the SoC and how powerful the built-in cooling unit is. Although the Geekom AX8 Pro does not necessarily offer a very powerful cooling unit, the results in terms of 3D performance are comparatively good. Our test sample can often outperform the Aoostar GEM12 which has a significantly more powerful cooling unit. However, we also see that a newer SoC does not guarantee better performance, as the Geekom AE7 can sometimes deliver better results. In the performance comparison, we also see, among other things, that AMD with the Radeon 780M outperforms the Intel Arc 8 with the Radeon 780M.

Further comparisons and benchmarks can be found in our GPU comparison table.

Gaming performance

The good performance of the AMD Radeon 780M which we documented in the synthetic benchmarks, is also evident in the gaming tests. However, it should still be noted that this is an iGPU and cannot keep up with devices with dedicated graphics adapters. In a direct comparison with its competitors, the Geekom AX8 Pro largely confirms the performance of the AMD Radeon 780M. We have a slight performance disadvantage in newer games, which is due to the low power consumption of the SoC.

For a detailed overview of the iGPU's performance compared to other graphics cards, please refer to our GPU game list.

Emissions

Noise emissions

Due to its compact design, the Geekom AX8 Pro is equipped with a small cooling unit. When idling, it operates silently, which is excellent. However, this quickly changes under load, and at 50 dB(A) we measured a sound pressure level that cannot be ignored. The high-frequency fan noise contributes to the fact that the volume is subjectively perceived as even louder. The performance profile for the fan speed is activated by default in the BIOS. Alternatively, there are two other options to choose from. We also carried out a stress test with the quiet fan profile and were only able to measure a slight improvement. At 48 dB(A), the device is still significantly louder than some of its competitors. The design, in combination with the powerful hardware, is a major obstacle when it comes to operating noise.

Temperature

We were unable to document any critical surface temperatures when idling or under load. Fresh air is drawn in at the sides, which is then expelled out of the casing at the rear. The temperatures at the rear are correspondingly slightly higher. With the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, we reached just under 93 °C in the stress test, which is not yet a cause for concern. According to AMD, the SoC is specified with a maximum operating temperature of up to 100 °C. The maximum value achieved in our test is only reached for a short time, as the SoC is allowed a maximum of 60 watts. In the Prime95 stress test, the average CPU temperature stabilizes at 87 °C, although a permanent power consumption of 45 watts is achieved.

Power consumption

The Geekom AX8 Pro surprises with good results in terms of energy consumption. However, our test sample is not one of the most economical devices. The Geekom AX8 Pro requires more energy than its competitors, especially when idle. The average power consumption under load settles at 76.4 watts, which is about the same compared to devices that are also equipped with AMD SoCs. A maximum of 99.1 watts is demanded from the 120-watt power supply unit.

Geekom AX8 Pro in review - provided by Geekom

The Geekom AX8 Pro is based on a NUC platform and features the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, which offers a lot of performance. However, the compact design prevents better performance development with a lower noise level. The design of the Geekom AX8 Pro is not fundamentally new, as other devices on the same basis have also shown similar weaknesses in terms of emissions. In terms of color, the Geekom AX8 Pro clearly stands out from identical devices with Intel processors. However, whether you like the blue color concept is a matter of opinion. In order to bring a breath of fresh air into the manufacturer's portfolio, Geekom should consider whether they want to continue with the design. A compact mini PC with plenty of power is certainly a good approach. However, the daily background noise on the desk is anything but pleasant. The competitors show that things can be done differently if you don't necessarily focus on the compact design.

The Geekom AX8 Pro is a stylish mini PC with great performance. To keep up with the competition, it needs a little more than just a new coat of paint.

All in all, the Geekom AX8 Pro is a great mini PC that offers too much performance for simple office users. The slightly weaker model based on the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS could be a good alternative, which is also a little easier on the wallet. Geekom makes a few compromises when it comes to external connections. However, the Geekom AX8 Pro offers all the important connections. Even a USB4 interface is installed. However, the Geekom AX8 Pro is a long way from perfect connectivity. Many mini PCs are already equipped with two USB4 ports and an OCuLink connection. Thunderbolt support is also not available. If you are dependent on this, you should take a closer look at the current Asus NUC 14 Pro devices.

These are certainly all points of criticism at a high level. However, in relation to the current purchase price of 999 euros (RRP: 1,099 euros), the points of criticism are justified. Anyone who spends that much money on a mini PC is unlikely to want to compromise. What's more, its competitors are often cheaper. First and foremost the Minisforum AtomMan X7 Ti should be mentioned.

Note: We have recently updated our rating system and the results of version 8 are not comparable with the results of version 7. Further information can be found here.

Price and availability

At the time of writing, users can order the Geekom AX8 Pro on Geekom's official webstore. Alternatively, Amazon also lists the mini PC with prices starting at $750.

Editor of the original article: Sebastian Bade - Senior Tech Writer - 636 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2012

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.
