Minisforum have unveiled its latest high-performance mini PCs, the AtomMan G7 Ti and G7 Ti SE, featuring powerful Intel Core i9-14900HX or i7-14650HX processors paired with NVIDIA RTX 4070 Mobile GPUs. In a compact, screenless design reminiscent of a laptop without a display much like their excellent NUCX mini PCs released in 2022. These new additions to the AtomMan series promise desktop-class performance in a slim form factor, with support for up to 96GB of DDR5 RAM and dual PCIe 4.0 M.2 storage slots.
Performance Comparison: Core i9-14900HX vs. Core i7-14650HX
The Intel Core i9-14900HX significantly outperforms the Intel Core i7-14650HX in benchmark tests, offering superior processing power for demanding tasks. According to aggregate benchmark results, the i9-14900HX is approximately 47% faster than the i7-13650HX, which has similar specifications to the i7-14650HX. The i9-14900HX boasts 24 physical cores and 32 threads, compared to the i7-14650HX’s 14 cores and 20 threads.
While both processors have a 55W TDP, the i9-14900HX reaches higher boost clock speeds of up to 5.8 GHz, versus 4.9 GHz for the i7-14650HX. This performance difference makes the i9-14900HX better suited for intensive workloads like video editing, 3D rendering, and high-end gaming, while the i7-14650HX remains a capable option for mainstream users and less demanding applications.
AtomMan G7 Ti RAM and Storage Options
The AtomMan G7 Ti and AtomMan G7 Ti SE offer impressive memory and storage capabilities to complement their high-performance processors and GPUs, solidifying their position as an ideal mini PC for gaming and productivity. Both models support up to 96GB of dual-channel DDR5 RAM, with speeds reaching 5600 MT/s or potentially higher at 6500 MT/s. This substantial memory capacity allows for smooth multitasking and handling of memory-intensive applications.
For storage, the mini PCs feature two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, providing fast and expandable storage options for users. The use of SO-DIMM memory modules and M.2 SSDs contributes to the compact design while maintaining high performance. It’s worth noting that these mini PCs typically come as barebones units, requiring users to install their own RAM and storage, which offers flexibility in configuration but also necessitates additional purchases.
NVIDIA RTX 4070 GPU Specifications and Performance
The AtomMan G7 Ti and G7 Ti SE are equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile GPU, a high-end graphics solution for laptops and compact systems. This GPU features 4,608 CUDA cores, 36 RT cores for ray tracing, and 144 Tensor cores for AI-accelerated tasks. It is designed to complement the AtomMan G7 Ti mini PC. It comes with 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, offering a memory bandwidth of 256 GB/s.
The RTX 4070 Mobile’s performance is comparable to its predecessor, the RTX 3070 Ti Mobile, making it suitable for 1440p gaming with high settings in most modern titles. However, its performance can vary significantly based on the power configuration, with TGP (Total Graphics Power) ranging from 35W to 115W, affecting clock speeds and overall performance. The RTX 4070 Laptop GPU particularly benefits from higher power settings.
