The first of those announced is the EliteMini UM590. It mounts a Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU based on the Zen 3 microarchitecture. It includes 8 high-performance cores with 16 threads, which offers a great margin in both gaming and productivity applications. It is manufactured in 7nm processes and reaches a maximum working frequency of 4.6 GHz.
It includes a Radeon 8 iGPU that, without being a dedicated graphics, far exceeds other integrated graphics solutions such as Intel UHD from Intel. It has 8 graphics units and can run at frequencies up to 2100 MHz.
The mini-PC supports up to 64GB of DDR4-3200 memory MHz dual-channel and offers different types of storage, an M.2 2280 for PCIe SSDs and a 2.5-inch bay that can accommodate both SSDs and SATA hard drives. In terms of connectivity we can find:
