AMD has been around for a long time trying its best to claw into Intel’s dominance in the CPU market. The past few years have seen the company really rise to the occasion and is now a popular choice among gamers and PC enthusiasts. The reason for that is most of the modern AMD CPUs perform better than their Intel counterparts and thanks to their aggressive pricing, they provide great value for money.
Just like Intel, the company has a wide variety of competitive processors and APUs in various categories, and similarly, the nomenclature can be difficult to keep up with. In this post, I am going to try to clear some of the confusion when it comes to naming AMD’s processor range. To keep things simple, I have kept this guide limited to the company’s Ryzen processors that are based on the Zen microarchitecture. There are a total of four generations of the Zen microarchitecture:
First Generation: AMD Ryzen 1000 CPUs, 14nm Zen architecture (March 2017)
Second Generation: AMD Ryzen 2000 CPUs, 12nm Zen+ architecture (April 2018)
Third Generation: AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs/Ryzen 4000 APUs, 7nm Zen 2 architecture (July 2019)
Fourth Generation: AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs, 7nm Zen 3 architecture (November 2020)
Rather than using Zen, Zen 2, Zen 3, etc. AMD chose to name its second-generation Zen+. The family of processors is denoted by the ‘Ryzen’ branding which is similar to how Intel uses ‘Core’. There is also a number affixed to the name where the higher you go, the more cores and processing power you get:
Ryzen 3: Quad-core processors primarily used for budget-friendly PCs. Comparable to Intel Core i3 series
Ryzen 5: Made for high-performance processors capable of handling heavy multitasking and gaming. Available with quad-core and six-core configuration and comparable to Intel’s Core i5 series.
Ryzen 7: These are meant for enthusiasts or ‘prosumer’ available with quad-core going up to an octa-core configuration. These are comparable to Intel Core i7 processors
Ryzen 9: Targeting serious professionals including professional gamers, content creators, and creative professionals who need maximum performance. These are available from octa-core configuration going up to 16-cores. These are as good or even better than Intel’s Core i9 series.
Threadripper: AMD’s HEDT or high-end desktop CPU, the Ryzen Threadripper delivers the highest possible performance and is available with up to 64 cores and 128 threads. These are meant for professional workloads and are comparable to Intel’s Xeon line of processors.

}
These model names remain constant throughout generations. What differs is the processor name. For instance, a Ryzen 9 5950X is more powerful than the Ryzen 9 5900X.
AMD also uses suffixes when it comes to naming its processors:
No Suffix- Standard desktop processors.
X- High-performance desktop processors that require discrete graphics cards.
XT- CPUs with boosted clock speed and performance compared to processors with the ‘X’ suffix.
G- CPUs with integrated graphics.
S- Low power consumption desktop processor with integrated graphics.
H- High-performance processors with integrated graphics for laptops. Mostly for gaming and other high-end laptops.
U- CPUs used in thin and light laptops and mobile devices. They have lower clock speeds and consume less power.
The latest-gen Ryzen 5000 series CPUs currently the best processors from the company. What I like about the Ryzen series is that if you are running a Ryzen 3000 series, you can upgrade to the latest generation without having to buy a new motherboard. AMD had confirmed that a simple BIOS update should bring support for new newer CPUs. You do have to consider an important factor though. A majority of AMD's mainstream desktop processors do not come with integrated graphics. This means that you need a dedicated graphics card if you want to use a Ryzen CPU.

Yeah AMD Vega is okay for games like League of Legends.
Lots of decent AMD powered laptops have been discounted lately so maybe you can get an upgrade at some point too. Definitely worth checking out the deals.
Good thing AMD has a high-end CPU with Integrated graphics like 5600G or 5700G

Yes, just too bad there are almost not one decent laptop with iGPU only - such thing should run for days on battery...

Whenever I check a model it turns me off quickly: soldered RAMs, battery inferiorally small... or something else.
I recently got a alienware m15 r5 ryzen edition with ryzen 7 5800h and rtx 3060 it's runs better than my desktop in certain applications it's run very close to ryzen 9 3900x and I have rtx 3070 I have been using amd since the phenom days I been really pleased how far amd has come to become one of the greatest cpus ever
I recently purchased a 2021 model HP pavilion 15z-eh100 and up'd the ram to 32gb with 1TB nvme m.2 2280. It has a Ryzen 5 5500U. Sort of false advertising imo. The Ryzen 5500U uses the older Zen 2 architecture and is not a Zen 3 CPU like the other Ryzen 5's are. I still compile roms on it but I believe I would have been much better off getting something more powerful. Something with Zen 3 architecture would have been a big difference.

So from my understanding,
The international one is Tegra 3 while the ATT model is a S4?
Is there a huge difference in performance between the two?
i mean.. one is quad,,and the other is only a dual..

There's fairly lengthy disucssion on this over on the One XL forum...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609878
Yes but the S4 has proven that quad isn't necessarily better than dual! The performance is almost the same, in some cases the S4 is even better (not THAT better tho) but in others (like multitasking and gaming) the Tegra 3 really shines
*performance-wise*
if they both had 32 gb, then i'd have to decide. as is, i don't want a 16 limit.
Considering that ICS is GPU accelerated when It comes to UI, wouldnt the T3 version feel smoother than S4? (gestures and UI interactions, not loading speeds) Since its GPU is better capapble than the Adreno 225. I mean thats why the GNEX doesnt feel as smooth as a SGS2 for example, the dual core TI OMAP has some seriously powerful CPU but subpar GPU to push that 720p screen...

It's like comparing a 1st gen quadcore to a current gen dualcore in the pc world (maybe not that drastic, but you get the point)
The Adreno 225 is only marginally slower in gaming, not enough to make a fuss over. According to my contact at AT&T it is perfectly smooth.

Thank everyone for posting your opinions!
After reading the link BarryH_GEG Provided,
I have made the decision to passup the X and to get the XL instead. For the following reasons:
1. better battery life.
2. LTE
3. More snappiness due to OS utilization?
4. Quadcore is useless to me in real life. Why? because the first quadcore desktop CPU launched almost 7 years ago. Even until now, software developers are just slowly learning to utilize more than two cores.
Ready to buy, tomorrow!
And thank everyone again

The snapdragon s4 is based on krait which is totally different from A15. Performance is only slightly better than A9 in terms of integer but vastly better for floating point and memory bandwidth. The Adreno 225 is much slower than the geforce in tegra3. But it wont be felt in general UI and games since they hardly tax the 220 before it and even the several times slower 205 runs most games like deadspace without a problem.

i actually bought the Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme quite a few years ago and the only thing i have had to upgrade for gaming is the video card and RAM. i imagine i'm going to get a few more years of high quality gaming out of this PC before i need to upgrade. i don't have DDR3 RAM or PCI Express 3, but i doubt it matters much. i just hope the CPU doesn't die before then! i'm just shocked at how long i've been able to stay on the quad, and now they have 8 cores?

You get one thing with Teg3 you don't with the S4. A really cool game. It's built in to the system and really visualizes the Teg3 chip in action. And being the only Teg3 phone on the market, it's a One X exclusive.

I'm sounding *****y but I'm really happy with the phone. After some charging cycles I'm getting decent battery life based on the way I use it. I'm going on a trip Friday which will be the real test as I'm much heavier on my phone when I'm on the road. I'd still recommend it and I like the larger amount of storage. So don't let my sarcasm put people off, it's still a great device.

Pricing of this and other other MINI PC or SBC PI, this cheaper model is adding to the range of possibilities.
Just depends on what you're looking for and what you need it to do.
Should Run Linux, and no doubt other x86 compatible o/s
Being a budget PC there is No USB C but we have the 4 usb 3 ports 2 x HDMI Gig lan and WIFI 5
Video of Startup, not the most hard hitting entertainment.
Easy the set up of Beelink Intel Box work well,
They have certainly got their act well with MINI PC
[video=youtube_share;p9vaM9EMJtU]
[video=youtube_share;dPVkcfHK8CI]
Performance
The Mini S rocks an Intel Celeron N5095 chip, which is built on 10nm process, with typical Thermal Design Power of 15 W. This chipset has 4 CPU cores, 4 processing threads working at 2 GHz (Turbo 2.9 GHz), and an integrated UHD GPU working at 650MHz. The N5095 SoC. is featured in lots of mini PCs and entry-level laptops. It is definitely not a powerhouse, but should be capable enough for most people’s everyday computing duties. My review unit comes with 8GB memory, as well as a 256GB SATA3 SSD, but Beelink does offer other configurations for you to choose from.
Benchmarks
In the cross-platform Geekbench 5, the Mini S scored 645 in CPU single core, 2017 in multi core, and 2117 in OpenCL. Those are typical numbers for the N5095 processor.
In the Cinebench R20 CPU-crunching test, the Mini S got 234 in single core, and 787 in multi-core.
Running it through PCMark10, my review unit got 2,339 points. This is actually on the higher end of the performance rating, compared to other budget mini PCs I’ve tested.
Beelink doesn’t sell the Mini S in barebone, so all units will come with an SSD. The speed of the 256GB SSD in my unit is pretty standard for an M.2 SATA3 SSD, nothing exciting here. Still, it is fast enough to guarantee that booting into Windows 11 takes only a few seconds.
Daily computing
The Mini S was fairly capable for dealing with mainstream daily computing tasks. I could open a dozen content-heavy webpages in Microsoft Edge, play a 4K video, and edit my presentation in PowerPoint at the same time, without noticing any hiccups or delays.
Obviously, there are occasions where the Mini S wouldn’t make sense, like editing 4K footages from your professional DSLR, or designing complex artwork, but for lightweight creativity tasks such as editing photos in Photoshop and making a short video in for your TikTok channel, this would work great.
HTPC
This mini PC could also make a perfect HTPC or media center. According to DXVA checker, the UHD Graphics GPU is able to decode most video formats up to 4K, some even up to 8K. I’ve played many UHD Blu-Ray movies on the Mini S and enjoyed perfectly smooth playback.
Streaming videos online was a similar story. When I was playing an 4K/60FPS YouTube video in Chrome, neither the CPU nor the GPU was stressed too much. Streaming 8K/60FPS videos could be challenging for the Mini S, as I noticed frequent frameskip during the playback, since this mini PC doesn't really support 8K output, there's no point in doing that anyway.
Gaming
One of the areas where the Mini S didn’t do very well was gaming, as the integrated Intel UHD GPU isn’t really designed for graphics-intensive duties, and single-channel memory sort of made things worse. In 3DMark, the Mini S scored 2356 in Sky Diver, 606 in Fire Strike and 206 in Time Spy, falling behind the Beelink’s very own U59, which features the same processor, but has dual-channel memory.
LOL, which was quite smooth on the Beelink U59 at 1080P and medium settings, was just playable on the Mini S. The average frame rate was 44 fps, and I noticed some frameskip in intense battle scenes. Turning the resolution down to 720P could improve the average frame rate to 79 fps, but some of the fine details could become just a little too blurry on a large desktop monitor.
If you only play simpler, more casual games like Angry Birds, Plant vs Zombies, or games installed from Microsoft Store, then you obviously have nothing to worry about.
Power consumption and noise
This mini PC is very energy-efficient, as power consumption is at only 10 watts idle and 24 watts on max load. The Mini S stayed quiet most of the time, I could watch online videos for hours without hearing any noise from it. The cooling fan did spin up when the Mini S was under heavy workloads, but it was neither too loud nor too annoying.
The Mini S was also very stable. In the AIDA64 stability test, the temperature of the four CPU cores stayed below 90 degrees in 1 hour of running at full load.
Thank You jupiter2012
Thanks again to our friends at Beelink we can have a closer look at a new mini–PC Beelink U59 Pro.
This mini-PC is the newer version of the previous Beelink U59 Similar Case and style.
The newer Beelink U59 Pro is using Intel Celeron N5105 processor, 11th Generation Jasper Lake chip,
Manufactured at 10 nm with very low power consumption.
The newer Beelink U59 Pro has enough newer hardware to run Windows 11 without problems, excluding the problems that windows 11 may have
Easy to use for a small home office computer, Web and Multimedia players up to [email protected] resolution.
The additional features included 2 HDMI Out plus Also Via USB C and the dual Ethernet port.

After fiddling and playing and doing a fresh Setup of Win 11 its looking pretty good so far.
Fresh install is always good, it always ensure the purity of what is installed, and drivers.
Can test 100 of things but time is limited.
Windows being Windows most things work as expected.
Great office PC.
Pretty good at Most Games.
Over kill maybe for a Media Server.
Hardware looks good as does packing with a needed beefy Brick Power pack.
Running the Tress test there was no Excess/Loud fan noise you could here them but not too annoying.
Supplied with known brand Ram and NVME is good, but each has their own preference.
Cmos has many function to Up the Power usage and zillion other thing to tweak.
Just as well it has the CMOS clear button on the front case is all I can say.
Spending $$$ on such a unit would be up to the individual if they need or want (never an excuse here want is always good)
A couple YT Vid's to show it in action:
or search YT for GTR6

Hey, how is your Bluetooth working? On my device it's very unstable, I'm sitting like 3m from my PC and when I connected BT headphones its very choppy, unstable connection. Did you noticed anything like that? I'm on latest BT/WiFi drivers from intel.
