Intel Core i5-8260U debut: BMAX B5 Pro G7H8 mini PC review

Super-cheap HTPC with NVMe SSD support. Can a years old 8th gen Intel CPU keep up with the latest 12th gen options? Surprisingly yes so long as you don't plan on running anything graphics intensive. Its retail price of under $300 USD is hard to pass up for many HTPC setups.

Desktop Mini PC

Much like Chuwi, BMax specializes in inexpensive laptops, monitors, and mini PCs that are generally hundreds of dollars cheaper than even the most basic SKUs from larger and more well-known manufacturers. Their secret is the use of older generation CPUs which can bring down the cost of the devices significantly.

The BMax B5 Pro is the latest mini PC from the manufacturer targeting HTPC users on tighter budgets. It is notable for sporting an older 8th gen Intel Core U-series CPU whereas the latest mini PCs are using 12th gen options. Our specific configuration comes with the uncommon Coffee Lake Core i5-8260U CPU with 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB NVMe SSD, and Windows 11 preloaded for only $280 USD at the time of writing. The B5 Pro competes directly with other inexpensive mini PCs like the Beelink SEi8 or the GMK NucBox 2.

Case — Nothing Out Of The Ordinary

The case is slightly thicker than the Intel NUC11TNKi5 to be almost identical to the Beelink SEi8. Rigidity is strong around the edges and bottom since these areas are metal whereas the top is cheaper plastic and more susceptible to warping. It's still a strong design with no obvious faults even if it's not as heavy as an Intel NUC.

Lighter than many other mini PCs at just 369 g with RAM and M.2 SSD installed

Plastic top with concentric circle design similar to older Asus Zenbook laptops

Connectivity — No Thunderbolt Support

The most notable port on the B5 Pro is the mini DisplayPort as most other mini PCs in this price range do not have a mini DisplayPort at all. 4K monitors at 60 Hz is not supported through HDMI.

The USB-C port on front supports external monitors, but it does not support Power-in or Thunderbolt.

Front: 3.5 mm headset, USB-C w/ DisplayPort, 2x USB-A 3.0, Power button

Rear: Reset button, mini DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 4K 60 Hz), HDMI 1.4, 2x USB-A, Gigabit RJ-45, AC adapter

Communication

A RealTek RTL8852BE comes standard for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity. There is no Wi-Fi 6E support likely to save on costs. Transfer rates are otherwise steady and without any issues even if it they aren't nearly as fast as the more common Intel AX200/201 series.

Maintenance

The bottom panel is secured by four Philips screws for easy servicing. Unlike on the Beelink SEi8, however, the bottom panel on the BMax has a small slit along an edge for easier gripping and removal.

Users can install up to two DDR4 SODIMM modules and up to two storage drives once inside.

Accessories and Warranty

The retail box includes an HDMI cable and removable VESA mounting bracket with screws alongside the AC adapter. The standard one-year limited warranty applies if purchased in the US.

Performance — 8th Gen vs. 12 Gen

Testing Conditions

We set our unit to Performance mode via Windows prior to running any benchmarks below for the highest possible scores. There are no pre-installed applications from the manufacturer for a clean Windows user experience.

Processor

Raw CPU performance is generally comparable to the 10th gen Core i7-1065G7 or Core i5-8259U. Though much slower than the 11th gen Core i5-1135G7 by up to 50 percent, it's still fast enough for common multimedia purposes like web browsing, video streaming, and moderate multi-tasking.

The 12th gen Core i5-1235U, which is several generations ahead of our Core i5-8260U, offers roughly 60 percent and 80 percent faster single-thread and multi-thread performance, respectively.

Performance sustainability is decent. When running CineBench R15 xT in a loop, performance would dip by about 11 percent over time.

Storage Devices — Up To Two Drives

The B5 Pro utilizes a generic M.2 PCIe3 x4 SSD with a RealTek RTS5763DL controller in order to save on costs. Performance is not optimal, however, as read rates would fall from its initial high of ~2400 MB/s to just ~1700 MB/s when the drive is stressed.

GPU Performance

Graphics performance is poor by today's standards. The Iris Xe 80 EUs in many modern Core i5 U-series CPUs, for example, offers 2x to 2.5x faster performance than our aging UHD Graphics 620. Most games are unplayable and some would not even launch at all including X-Plane.

Emissions

System Noise — Not Loud At All

The internal fan is almost always active at about 25 dB(A) against a silent background of 23 dB(A) even when not running any applications. Fortunately, this low of a range is quiet enough to be unnoticeable in most scenarios. Running higher loads like games induces a fan noise in the 30 to 34 dB(A) range which is still very quiet especially in HTPC environments.

Temperature

AC adapter reaches over 43 C when running demanding loads for long periods

Surface temperatures are never uncomfortably warm. The hot spot on top, for example, only reaches around 33 C when under high processing stress. Heat escapes from the right side of the chassis unlike on the Intel NUC where heat escapes from the rear.

Items can be safely placed on top of the unit since there are no ventilation grilles there.

Stress Test

When stressed under Prime95, the CPU would boost to 2.8 GHz and 28 W for about 20 seconds or until core temperature reaches 76 C. Clock rates and board power draw would then stabilize at 1.5 GHz and 12 W, respectively, in order to maintain a cooler core temperature of 60 C. Repeating this same test on the Beelink SEi8 would result in faster core clocks and warmer temperatures of 2.8 GHz and 80 C, respectively. The Turbo Boost potential of the B5 Pro is therefore limited which follows what we observed during our CineBench stress test above.

	CPU Clock (GHz)	GPU Clock (MHz)	Average CPU Temperature (°C)
System Idle	--	--	33
Prime95 Stress	1.3	--	62
Prime95 + FurMark Stress	1.6	300	67
Witcher 3 Stress	~400	1100	71

Energy Management

Power Consumption — Very Undemanding

Overall consumption is lower than on many mini PCs with newer CPUs like the Intel NUC11TNKi5 and its 11th gen Core i5-1135G7. Performance-per-watt, however, favors the latter significantly. Though users can save a few watts with the BMax, mini PCs with newer generation CPUs like the aforementioned NUC can offer over 2x the graphics performance or 50 percent higher CPU performance.

We're able to record a maximum draw of 55.9 W from the small (~9.8 x 4.3 x 3.7 cm) 48 W AC adapter when the CPU is at 100 percent utilization. This rate is only temporary as shown by our graphs below.

Consumption would rise to 56 W for about 20 seconds when initiating Prime95 stress before falling and stabilizing at 29 W thereafter due to thermal limitations

Prime95+FurMark stress initiated at 10s mark

Power Consumption

Off / Standby	0.39 / 0.61 Watt
Idle	6 / 6.2 / 6.3 Watt
Load	42.8 / 55.8 Watt

Verdict — Inexpensive Option For Basic HTPC Purposes

In review: BMax B5 Pro G7H8. Test unit provided by BMax

If you're looking to maximize your bang for the buck, then the BMax B5 Pro should be near the top of your list. It offers a roomy 512 GB NVMe SSD, space for a second SSD, 16 GB of removable RAM, licensed Windows 11 Pro already installed, quiet fan noise, and a processor that's comparable to the 10th gen Core i7-1065G7 all for under $300 USD. The Core i5-8260U runs laps over any current Core i3, Celeron, Atom, or Ryzen 3 alternative that are all too common in this price range.

The BMax B5 Pro is a complete package for nearly half the price of a barebones Intel NUC without needing to settle for low-tier Celeron or Atom processors.

The main drawback to the model is its weak graphics performance which really shouldn't be a problem as nobody should be buying the B5 Pro for gaming purposes. Graphics performance is still sufficient for comfortable 4K60 streaming.

We would like to see more USB-C ports, support for USB-C Power Delivery, and an HDMI 2.0 port or better on future revisions.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
