Product Information

SSD features a heatsink which is very important since the limited space might make things hot within the chassis and the extra cooling on the SSD is definitely a plus. Unless you need USB 4 and PCIe 4 SSD’s (and to be honest, those who do probably are needing something more powerful than this), the UM690 doesn’t offer any advantage over slightly more expensive offerings. Some people find it fun to speculate on unannounced products but doing so doesn't provide any useful data points for a purchase decision. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience.

That chassis makes an appearance again today with the UM690, albeit with a more powerful 120W power supply.It is laudable that the UM690 can drive up to three displays at once, though you probably wouldn't see this use case very often in real life. The UM690 from the Venus series uses AMD's latest Rembrandt SoC, with support for USB4 and Thunderbolt. As for the performance, this little beast really did impress me with its top-notch performance and even better gaming performance. I’ll also be tossing in an RX6400 dGPU which is one of the weakest RDNA2 powered discrete cards available but also matches the Radeon 680M iGPU in core count.

Sure, they have the new Phoenix APUs coming out soon but Rembrandt is still serving the Ryzen 7000 space and this is essentially the same chip in an SFF form factor. I am not sure if this is due to power limits of the 6900HX chip, or the system is limited by the power brick. Ryzen 9 6900HX is one of AMD's most powerful Ryzen 6000 processors, features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a maximum turbo clock of 4. In real-life use, the cooling solution works quite well, allowing chassis temperatures to stay cool throughout.Together this Ryzen mini PC provides excellent high performance ideal for demanding home or office workloads.
