What is the performance like? How does the game run?
CPU-Z Single Core Score: 583
CPU-Z Multi-Core Score: 4650.3
The game testing used DDR5 8Gx2 4800MHz memory, set to the optimal performance mode, and the results were based on my own personal tests.
(Thank you to the victim, BH2XQK, for assisting me in conducting performance tests for CS2 and War Thunder.)
Triangle Action, 1080P, lowest quality, 60-120 FPS variable
CS2 1080P, lowest quality setting, FX optimization mode set to performance, 130 FPS stable, no stuttering due to smoke.
Battlefield 1: 1080p, low quality setting; adjust view to maximum 60 FPS for stable gameplay (game limits to a maximum of 60 FPS)
Battlefield 1, 1080p, low quality setting, adjust view to maximum 60 FPS for stable gameplay (game limits to a maximum of 60 FPS)
War Thunder supports low-end graphics cards, with multiple maps including air combat testing, and stable operation at over 100 FPS.
My World Java 1.20.1 server - PvP (20 players) - Testing (especially loading with the "Wither Stone Farm")
The frame rate remained stable at over 400 FPS during the recording.
The frame rate didn't fluctuate significantly during combat. Fluctuations between 380 and 400+ did not affect normal gameplay.
Under heavy load, the frame rate fluctuates around 350 FPS, but it recovers to over 400 FPS after loading.
Regarding frame rates, "opening up" refers to maximizing the actual frame rate achievable by the graphics card. My own testing shows that even low-end graphics cards can achieve frame rates around 70 FPS.

Final assessment
Mini PCs are suitable only for users who have low performance requirements and need to carry them around.
Mini PCs and laptops/desktops are completely different categories. Comparing a laptop to a mini PC is like saying that talking about the negative aspects of a laptop is equivalent to being dishonest and misleading.
While it uses the R5-6600H, which guarantees high performance, the integrated graphics (660M) are also very powerful.
This also presents some challenges for heat dissipation, but it maintains a very low noise level.
However, there are still some drawbacks.
Firstly, there were too few USB 2.0 ports. I eventually added a USB 2.0 splitter to meet my needs.
Secondly, his "double standard noise" – while the noise level was relatively low, it still contained a real turbine fan. The sound was similar to that of a hair dryer.
However, if you wear headphones or use speakers to play games and watch videos, the noise from the fan will be completely suppressed.
If you have any other questions, please comment and let me know if there are any other ways to squeeze more performance out of this small host.
