Anandtech: ASRock Industrial 4X4 BOX-7840U mini-PC Review: AMD Phoenix in an UCFF Avatar
AMDs Phoenix line of low-power processors for the notebook market has been lapped up by various second and third-tier mini-PC vendors in the Asian market. The platforms value proposition has proved to be excellent with the inclusion of Zen 4 cores and a RDNA3 integrated GPU, along with high-end I/O options such as dual USB4 ports. Companies like Beelink and MinisForum took the lead in bringing Phoenix to the desktop market. Their primary focus was on trying to extract the maximum performance from the processor by configuring it for a power limit of 65W - beyond the top end of the range suggested by AMD.
