Minisforum UM690 mini PC with AMD Ryzen™9 6900HX Several days after the announcement of the Minisforum UM590, the model launches the Minisforum UM690.

Overview of Minisforum UM690

The Minisforum UM690 embeds a brand-new technology chip from AMD. The Ryzen 9 6900HX is an 8-core resolution deploying 16 Threads enclosed in a 45-watt thermal envelope.

Its primary argument is past its computing efficiency and frequencies starting from 3.3 to 4.9 GHz is its graphics circuit. previous model is Minisforum UM580.

The RDNA2, in different phrases, a Radeon 680M with 12 cores, gives exquisite efficiency in use. It is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular chips on the cellular market and is beginning to make its look in the MiniPC phase. We noticed it was introduced on the Beelink GTR6 final in October.

Minisforum UM690 Hardware

The Minisforum UM690 will use DDR5 on two So-DIMM reminiscence slots for most of the 64GB onboard to accompany this processor. Storage will be entrusted to an M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD. A 2.5″ bay can also be current to add a second store in SATA 3.0 format restricted to a thickness of seven mm.

The two machines may discover other similarities, beginning with the cooling system. For this UM690 collection, which uses a Ryzen with an identical TDP, Minisforum has saved the identical cooling system.

We discover a typical laptop computer resolution with an important fin/duct meeting and a fan that pumps cool air to flow into it within the fins earlier than expelling it to the skin. I assume this gadget follows AMD‘s suggestions, which have to dimension the wants of every chip and suggest an optimum cooling resolution to the producers.

Minisforum UM690 Ports

The new mannequin will nonetheless supply two USB Type-C ports at the entrance. But this time, the machine has a USB4 port and a USB 3.2 Gen.2.

The USB4 resolution will carry more excellent transfers and the power to attach the 3rd show to the machine through DisplayPort. An audio combo jack can also be current after the beginning button is illuminated with a basic LED.

On the again of the gadget, we discover an energy jack, a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port along with Wi-Fi6 and Bluetooth 5.1 built-in on an M.2 2230, a Kensington Lock anti-theft system, 4 USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A and two HDMI outputs. All this in a chassis 12.8 cm was massive by 12.66 cm deep and 4.65 cm thick.

Minisforum UM690 Other Features

The chassis is precisely identical because of the earlier mannequin, with the identical potentialities of fixing in VESA on display or that we can put vertically because of the stand supplied. It will be attainable to go away the machine on its toes.

The machine can be delivered with Windows 11 Pro by default; however, the producer also broadcasts Ubuntu compatibility for this mannequin.

Contrary to my habits, I might advise you not to decide on a barebone model in case you are contemplating a purchase order of the Minisforum UM690, just because shopping for DDR5 So-Dimm may be more challenging than shopping for DDR4.

If you understand the place to search out one with worth, don’t hesitate to decide on a Barebone model, particularly in case you don’t want the Windows 11 Pro license. In different instances, I believe it’s more economical to use the model’s ready-made system.
