The size of the Amaiqi S1 mini host is very small,The size is 123.8×128×40.9mm,Even a small ITX host can't compare with it,Compared with a double-slot thickness of the independent graphics card,The volume of the mini host is only half of the former,And the mini host is quite light,The net weight of the fuselage is only382g,About the weight of two mobile phones。
Located in the front of the mini host, it is designed with a black lacquered glossy surface, and a small display screen and a slender RGB indicator are also designed, when the system is started, the RGB indicator will light up, the specific lighting effect can be set in the control software, and the display screen can display the current hardware status information, such as processor power consumption temperature, memory usage and fan speed, etc., but it needs to be matched with exclusive software to achieve, and the current time can also be displayed by default.
Amaiqi S1 mini host pre-installed genuine Windows 11 home version of the operating system,You can put it into use immediately without tossing the system,Provide users with better ease of use and compatibility,As for the Office office suite and some functional software, you still need to install it yourself,Or use domestic WPS software instead,RGB status lights and screen control software are pre-installed in the system。
The ease of use in the RGB lighting control software is very good, but the degree of customization is not high, the user can choose to turn on or off the lighting effect, the software provides three lighting effect modes to choose from, namely rainbow, breathing and color cycle, or turn on the automatic mode will cycle the display effect, and you can also set the brightness and flow speed of the lighting effect, but you can't make subtle adjustments to the light color, or customize the effect of monochrome constant on.
The content displayed on the secondary screen in the front of the mini host can be set by the built-in control software, the software needs administrator privileges and continues to run in the background, otherwise the screen cannot obtain data such as temperature in real time, four default themes are provided in the software for quick switching, users can also customize the display content, including setting background pictures and hardware status, etc., support the import of Gif and Jpg and other picture formats, but the background can only be displayed statically.
The resolution of the screen is not high, but it is no problem to display hardware monitoring information, the user can choose the horizontal screen or vertical screen display according to the arrangement of the mini host, with the control software to sit on the monitoring screen, grasp the relevant hardware status of the host anytime and anywhere, it is very suitable for use as a soft route or download machine, just take a look from time to time to know whether the system is running normally, if you are not very interested in the hardware status, you can set it to the clock display.
I won't disassemble it this time,Magnetic fixed dustproof cover plate can be easily upgraded and replaced with hardware,On the other hand,Low-power processor does not have high requirements for the cooling system,Its price has roughly determined the performance level,Let's talk about hardware configuration first,AmaiqiS1Mini host is equipped with Intel12th generationN100Processor,With16GBMamic memory and512GBSsolid state drive,In order to understand the performance of the mini host more intuitively,Next, it will be tested for various performances。
It is equipped with an entry-level Intel 12th generation N100 processor, based on the low-power Gracemont architecture, using Intel7 (10nm) process technology, four-core and four-thread design, does not support hyper-threading technology, the core frequency is 0.8GHz, the maximum turbo frequency is 3.4GHz, with 6MB of L3 cache, TDP (thermal design power consumption) of 6W.
Using the CineBench series rendering test software, the Intel N100 processor scored 480 points in the multi-core score of R15 software, the multi-core score of R20 software was 1111 points, and the multi-core score of R23 software was 2917 points.
The mini host is equipped with a 16GB memory module, and the measured read and write speed of the memory can reach 18956MB/s and 19022MB/s, the copy speed is 17893MB/s, and the latency is 52ns, after all, it is a single channel and 2666MT/s frequency, and the overall bandwidth performance is at a normal level.
In terms of hard disks, it is equipped with PCIe3.0×4 solid state drives, but it only runs in PCIe3.0×2 mode, mainly because the processor says that the number of PCIe provided is quite limited, and the measured sequential read and write speeds are 1760MB/s and 1714MB/s, and the single-threaded 4K read and write performance speeds are 49MB/s and 132MB/s respectively.
The Intel N100 processor integrates Intel UHD Graphics core graphics, which has 24 built-in execution units, the maximum dynamic frequency of the core graphics is 750 MHz, according to the GPU-Z detection software, 8 raster units and 16 texture units, respectively, support DirectX 12 and Intel Quick Sync Video technology.
The 3DMark benchmark software scored 309 points for the Time Spy project, while the Wild Life Extreme project scored 759 points for the Raster performance tester and 4591 points for the Night Raid project.
According to the above running scores,I believe you have been able to roughly understand what level the hardware performance of the mini host is,The performance of the CPU performance part is okay,Basically able to reach the level of the seventh generation i7 processor,The performance of the GPU part is weak,As for the game performance,Don't want to play any medium and large 3D games,Even if it can run, the frame rate is low,And some flat 2D games that do not require high graphics performance are very smooth,I personally feel that in "Hollow Knight" This kind of creative and unique side-scrolling game experience is pretty good, and while it's not flashy in terms of visual experience, it's a great way to play in your spare time.
The performance of the Intel N100 processor will definitely meet the daily office needs with a light load, for example, when I am writing a review article, I often need to open multiple windows at the same time, such as picture viewing, document editing and web page information and other interfaces, and it is easy to open more than a dozen web pages at the same time, even if I keep switching windows without stuck, it can provide a smooth experience.
Daily need to post-process the pictures taken by the camera, often use professional image processing software, very dependent on the computing power of the processor, in the cutout sharpening and imitation stamps and other operations are very smooth, in addition to applying the lens blur and other effects need to wait a little, other software comes with filter effects can basically achieve real-time preview effect, even if the batch processing compression export file speed is relatively fast.
If you don't care about the time it takes to export the video, then it can also cope with video editing in full HD format, and it can also achieve GPU hardware decoding in video playback, and it can smoothly play back the 4K60Hz picture video file shot by the mobile phone, and there is no lag waiting for the dragging progress.
Finally, let's talk about heat dissipation and temperature, Intel N100 processor's own power consumption is not high, bake test in an environment of room temperature 28 °C, use AIDA64 software FPU project for long-term stress test, the average power consumption of the processor when fully loaded is only 21W, even if the power consumption of double baking is 21W, the maximum temperature of the core at this time is 77 °C, the operating noise is very low when full load, and there is no abnormal howling sound, the power consumption is about 10W under normal load, and the core temperature will be maintained at about 45 °C.
General Comments:
Amaiqi S1 mini host has a lightweight and portable body design, and supports horizontal and vertical placement of two ways, casually stuffed into the shoulder bag to carry out, while not taking up too much desktop space, in the appearance design to make a number of upgrades, such as magnetic quick-release side cover design, easy to upgrade and replace memory sticks and hard disks, as well as a high degree of playabilityRGB status indicator and secondary screen, the secondary screen can be used as a monitoring screen, with supporting management software, intuitively display the power consumption and temperature of the processor, It can also be used as a clock and calendar, and it is equipped with dual video output ports and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, giving it more diverse ways to play, such as building it as a lightweight NAS or soft routing.
Mini host with entry-level Intel N100 processor, four-core four-thread design, with 16GB memory module and 512GB solid state drive, although there is a lot of distance from the current mainstream processor in terms of performance, but it can fully meet most of the performance needs of office users, commonly used office software can run smoothly, even if there is no lag or delay in opening more web windows, high-definition video playback is stress-free, light picture editing and other tasks can also be handled, as for game performance, play with full HD picture 2D graphics games such as Hollow Knight are also not a big problem, and because the processor has low power consumption and heat generation at full load, the operating noise and temperature control performance are not bad, even when the sound is low at full load. #头条创作挑战赛 ##迷你主机#
