The Chinese company has updated the Chuwi LarkBox X, a mini PC that is designed to offer a good level of performance. With this update, Chuwi has replaced the Ryzen 7 3700U APU with a Ryzen 7 3750H APUand has also replaced the Intel 7265 network card with a solution AMD RZ608.
These are two very important changes, since the Ryzen 7 3700U APU it was a low energy solution which offered lower performance at the cost of lower consumption, while the Ryzen 7 3750H APU is a version that prioritizes power. In general, that new chip should offer a 10% average performance improvement in single-threaded and multithreaded CPU tasks.
The Ryzen 7 3750H APU that this review of the Chuwi LarkBox X brings has a CPU Zen+ (Ryzen second generation) with 4 cores and 8 threads manufactured in 12 nm, and is accompanied by a Radeon Vega 10 GPU, which adds 640 shaders and it is capable of offering very good performance for an integrated solution.
With the change to an AMD RZ608 network card, the Chuwi LarkBox X has also received an important improvement, since it goes from being limited to the Wi-Fi 5 standard to being totally compatible with the Wi-Fi 6 standard. This standard is not only faster, it is also more secure and offers higher performance in multi-device environments.
For the rest, the Chuwi LarkBox X also brings other minor changes, such as the introduction of a USB Type-C connector that is compatible with DisplayPort. We don’t have any details on the RAM configuration and storage capacity, but it will most likely come with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD in its base version. The price should be around between 400 and 450 euros, and hopefully it will come with Windows 11 pre-installed and activated.
