When reviewing mini PCs, I typically look at their performance under both Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) and compare them against some of the more recently released mini PCs. I am now reviewing using Windows 10 version 21H1 and Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS and test with a selection of commonly used Windows benchmarks and/or equivalents for Linux together with Thomas Kaiser’s ‘sbc-bench’ which is a small set of different CPU performance tests focusing on server performance when run on Ubuntu. I also use ‘Phoronix Test Suite’ and benchmark with the same set of tests on both Windows and Ubuntu for comparison purposes. On Ubuntu, I also compile the v5.4 Linux kernel using the default config as a test of performance using a real-world scenario. With an AMD Ryzen 7 APU in tow, plenty of RAM and storage, the Beelink SER is a powerful alternative to big boxes, especially if you don’t want to upgrade or add a discrete graphics card. For the built-in benchmark for Shadow Of The Tomb Raider (SOTTR) using the preset of low graphics settings, 83 FPS was achieved:

As for sheer performance, the Ryzen 7 competes against the Intel Core i5-8259U, a popular choice amongst smaller companies due to the presence of an Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 GPU with 128 MB eDRAM. A fast storage subsystem combined with dual-channel memory configuration means that it is fast enough for most mundane tasks but not for gaming or for Photoshop. configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlwifi driverversion=5.11.0-37-generic firmware=29.1654887522.0 7265D-29.ucode latency=0 link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11 Audio: Device-1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Raven/Raven2/Fenghuang HDMI/DP Audio driver: snd_hda_intel The power figures fluctuate notably due to the fan so the value is the average of the median high and median low power readings.

The 3750H is good but not that good. After all, it is a mobile APU and one that was launched almost three years ago.

Be prepared for a bit of fan noise especially when running very demanding applications. When using the increased power configuration (POR 35W adjusted with RyzenAdj) the consumption increased whilst under load as follows:
