Best Yet from Beelink
I have purchased 5 Beelink "Tiny PC's" for myself and family. All of them have performed flawlessly so far, and my first purchase, the GR5 with the Ryzen 5 3550 4C-8T CPU has performed flawlessly for two years.About a month ago, I purchased the sixth Beelink, the incredible GR9, which has the Ryzen 9 5900 HX processor, 32 gigs of 3200 RAM and a 500 NVMe SSD.I am NOT a gamer, but I use 2 or 3 big monitors all the time. Most of the work I do with the GR9 is simulation and using Office, email, and web surfing. My simulations have taken 15 minutes on the GR5, so I bought the GR9 thinking things would speed up.Running on Windows 11 Pro, you have the opportunity to increase an Application's Speed (from Normal to Fast to Realtime) and Processor affinity, which means how many cores an App can use. The affinity table shows that the GR9 has 16 processors. One way to speed up my simulations is to run multiple copies of them simultaneously. I have done this extensively on the GR9 and now for a month or two on the GR9. The performance increase in the GR9 is astounding.With the GR5 running 4 simultaneous Simulations, each App task was getting 17-19 percent of CPU, and the overall system was running at 69 to 80% CPU. The GR5 fans were clearly audible, but thanks to Beelink for building enough fans to keep the CPU cool. I destroyed a beautiful Microsoft Surface Book with 4 cores running 4 copies of a lengthy simulation. The Book just stopped and could not be fixed; but I was able to retrieve the SSD drive.The GR9 runs completely differently. With one core running, the GR5 took 142 seconds to finish a simulation. With 7 cores running, the GR9 completed all seven simulations in 103 seconds, generating 7 times as much data in 72.5% of the time! In addition, the CPU utilization was only 54% and I seldom heard any fans running. For my needs, I am sure that the GR9 is a superlative machine for doing serious number crunching. I highly recommend the GR9 for number crunching.I have not done any gaming, so I cannot comment on the gaming performance of this machine. But since the GR5 was marketed as a gaming machine, I am sure the GR9 will give the biggest gaming performance you could expect from a Tiny PC.Running Win11 Pro,Ver másVer menos
