POWERFUL 12 core CPU! is Intel NUC worth switching to?

this right here is an Intel Nook this right here is an Intel Nook probably the most popular and well-known probably the most popular and well-known probably the most popular and well-known Mini PC line on the market today now Mini PC line on the market today now Mini PC line on the market today now recently we've had a lot of fun checking recently we've had a lot of fun checking recently we've had a lot of fun checking out AMD mini PCS from the likes of out AMD mini PCS from the likes of out AMD mini PCS from the likes of b-link and Menace form but the last time b-link and Menace form but the last time b-link and Menace form but the last time we checked out a Intel model mini we checked out a Intel model mini we checked out a Intel model mini computer like this was with the B-Max PC computer like this was with the B-Max PC computer like this was with the B-Max PC almost two years ago now that computer almost two years ago now that computer almost two years ago now that computer had a Intel i5 5250u and this Nook that had a Intel i5 5250u and this Nook that had a Intel i5 5250u and this Nook that we're going to be looking at today has a we're going to be looking at today has a we're going to be looking at today has a 12th generation Intel i5 so the question 12th generation Intel i5 so the question 12th generation Intel i5 so the question I pose is a Intel Nook worthy near 800 I pose is a Intel Nook worthy near 800 I pose is a Intel Nook worthy near 800 price tag or is it going to be a better price tag or is it going to be a better price tag or is it going to be a better bet to go with something like the GTR 6 bet to go with something like the GTR 6 bet to go with something like the GTR 6 we checked out a little bit back with we checked out a little bit back with we checked out a little bit back with the latest generation of ryzen mobile the latest generation of ryzen mobile the latest generation of ryzen mobile CPU so before diving into some CPU so before diving into some CPU so before diving into some benchmarking and gaming we must first benchmarking and gaming we must first benchmarking and gaming we must first unbox this device and take a deeper look unbox this device and take a deeper look unbox this device and take a deeper look at some of these specifications but at some of these specifications but at some of these specifications but first we must unbox the sponsor of first we must unbox the sponsor of first we must unbox the sponsor of today's video today's video today's video extra by far my new favorite wallet now extra by far my new favorite wallet now extra by far my new favorite wallet now if you've seen me talk about extra in if you've seen me talk about extra in if you've seen me talk about extra in the past you probably know I've been the past you probably know I've been the past you probably know I've been using their Parliament wallets they are using their Parliament wallets they are using their Parliament wallets they are traditional classy perfect leather traditional classy perfect leather traditional classy perfect leather stitching and available in a bunch of stitching and available in a bunch of stitching and available in a bunch of colors but I did want to go a little colors but I did want to go a little colors but I did want to go a little thinner so I recently switched over to thinner so I recently switched over to thinner so I recently switched over to their Senate card holder it fans out their Senate card holder it fans out their Senate card holder it fans out your cards like all the other wallets your cards like all the other wallets your cards like all the other wallets and card holders that they have and and card holders that they have and and card holders that they have and there are places to store cash one of there are places to store cash one of there are places to store cash one of their tracking devices and some other their tracking devices and some other their tracking devices and some other items the one I've been using is the items the one I've been using is the items the one I've been using is the Jupiter finish with a leather texture Jupiter finish with a leather texture Jupiter finish with a leather texture but if you're looking for something a

but if you're looking for something a but if you're looking for something a bit more industrious you go with their bit more industrious you go with their bit more industrious you go with their forged carbon fiber and of course they forged carbon fiber and of course they forged carbon fiber and of course they have other options such as wallets with have other options such as wallets with have other options such as wallets with a dedicated place to put an air tag and a dedicated place to put an air tag and a dedicated place to put an air tag and of course other products such as key of course other products such as key of course other products such as key holders money clips phone cases bags and holders money clips phone cases bags and holders money clips phone cases bags and more better yet right now they are more better yet right now they are more better yet right now they are running their new years of sale so using running their new years of sale so using running their new years of sale so using the link down below or the coupon code the link down below or the coupon code the link down below or the coupon code Tech Hut can save you up to 40 percent Tech Hut can save you up to 40 percent Tech Hut can save you up to 40 percent off so make sure you go and check out off so make sure you go and check out off so make sure you go and check out that link down below to see what they that link down below to see what they that link down below to see what they have to offer so this right here is the have to offer so this right here is the have to offer so this right here is the box and if we actually take off the box and if we actually take off the box and if we actually take off the little cover and look at the back we can little cover and look at the back we can little cover and look at the back we can see here some of the details of what is see here some of the details of what is see here some of the details of what is inside including this specific model inside including this specific model inside including this specific model which is the Nook 12 wsh which is the Nook 12 wsh which is the Nook 12 wsh i5oz it is important to note that this i5oz it is important to note that this i5oz it is important to note that this is not the highest end Intel Nook out is not the highest end Intel Nook out is not the highest end Intel Nook out there and opening it up here we can see there and opening it up here we can see there and opening it up here we can see that our computer is right on top that our computer is right on top that our computer is right on top wrapped in some protective plastic here wrapped in some protective plastic here wrapped in some protective plastic here is the Mini PC out of its packaging and is the Mini PC out of its packaging and is the Mini PC out of its packaging and in the box of course we have some in the box of course we have some in the box of course we have some manuals warranty information stuff like manuals warranty information stuff like manuals warranty information stuff like that taking this off it is packaged that taking this off it is packaged that taking this off it is packaged rather nicely we do have a bracket so rather nicely we do have a bracket so rather nicely we do have a bracket so you go ahead and mount it to the back of you go ahead and mount it to the back of you go ahead and mount it to the back of a monitor or wherever you would like and a monitor or wherever you would like and a monitor or wherever you would like and then within the bottom of the box we then within the bottom of the box we then within the bottom of the box we have our power which as we can see has have our power which as we can see has have our power which as we can see has an output of 120 watts and then an extra an output of 120 watts and then an extra an output of 120 watts and then an extra HDMI and our power cables now back onto HDMI and our power cables now back onto HDMI and our power cables now back onto the Mini PC first we're going to take the Mini PC first we're going to take the Mini PC first we're going to take off the little top protective cover give off the little top protective cover give off the little top protective cover give it a nice peel there it is slightly it a nice peel there it is slightly it a nice peel there it is slightly texturized and I do like this because texturized and I do like this because texturized and I do like this because it's not really going to leave any it's not really going to leave any it's not really going to leave any fingerprints or smudges taking a look at fingerprints or smudges taking a look at fingerprints or smudges taking a look at the front of the computer we have two the front of the computer we have two the front of the computer we have two USB 3.2 ports with one of them having

USB 3.2 ports with one of them having USB 3.2 ports with one of them having power pass through a auxiliary output power pass through a auxiliary output power pass through a auxiliary output and then our power button and then and then our power button and then and then our power button and then flipping it onto the back starting over flipping it onto the back starting over flipping it onto the back starting over here we're going to have our power in we here we're going to have our power in we here we're going to have our power in we have our first HDMI then we're going to have our first HDMI then we're going to have our first HDMI then we're going to have our 2.5 gigabit Lan and then we have our 2.5 gigabit Lan and then we have our 2.5 gigabit Lan and then we have an additional USB 3.2 below that is have an additional USB 3.2 below that is have an additional USB 3.2 below that is a USB 2.0 and then we have our second a USB 2.0 and then we have our second a USB 2.0 and then we have our second HDMI port one thing that I do have to HDMI port one thing that I do have to HDMI port one thing that I do have to say is when it comes to the actual i o say is when it comes to the actual i o say is when it comes to the actual i o here it does seem lacking for me here it does seem lacking for me here it does seem lacking for me personally there's no USB type C's personally there's no USB type C's personally there's no USB type C's granted we do have USB 3.2 the type C or granted we do have USB 3.2 the type C or granted we do have USB 3.2 the type C or even Thunderbolt with the Intel even Thunderbolt with the Intel even Thunderbolt with the Intel processor would have been nice on the processor would have been nice on the processor would have been nice on the bottom here we have a lot more bottom here we have a lot more bottom here we have a lot more information such as a power rating at 20 information such as a power rating at 20 information such as a power rating at 20 volts serial numbers models things like volts serial numbers models things like volts serial numbers models things like that now this top cover here does that now this top cover here does that now this top cover here does actually actually actually pop off there's not really too many pop off there's not really too many pop off there's not really too many benefits of that it does give you easy benefits of that it does give you easy benefits of that it does give you easy access to some of the screws so you can access to some of the screws so you can access to some of the screws so you can completely disassemble the thing and completely disassemble the thing and completely disassemble the thing and maybe you can switch these out if they maybe you can switch these out if they maybe you can switch these out if they have more but it's not going to be how have more but it's not going to be how have more but it's not going to be how you're accessing the RAM storage and all you're accessing the RAM storage and all you're accessing the RAM storage and all that stuff that stuff that stuff so now real quick let's flip it over and so now real quick let's flip it over and so now real quick let's flip it over and open up the bottom and you do so with open up the bottom and you do so with open up the bottom and you do so with the four screws here which are the four screws here which are the four screws here which are surrounded by Rubber so it doesn't slide surrounded by Rubber so it doesn't slide surrounded by Rubber so it doesn't slide around and they're actually pretty nice around and they're actually pretty nice around and they're actually pretty nice because when you unscrew them they don't because when you unscrew them they don't because when you unscrew them they don't come all the way out so you're not going come all the way out so you're not going come all the way out so you're not going to lose them they just kind of stay to lose them they just kind of stay to lose them they just kind of stay there and then once they're all there and then once they're all there and then once they're all unscrewed you just go ahead and pop up unscrewed you just go ahead and pop up unscrewed you just go ahead and pop up the Bottom now do be careful because the the Bottom now do be careful because the the Bottom now do be careful because the bottom has a extra spot for a 2.5 inch bottom has a extra spot for a 2.5 inch bottom has a extra spot for a 2.5 inch SSD or hard drive and it is connected SSD or hard drive and it is connected SSD or hard drive and it is connected with a wire so don't just unscrew it and

with a wire so don't just unscrew it and with a wire so don't just unscrew it and pull it open you're you're not gonna pull it open you're you're not gonna pull it open you're you're not gonna have a good time the model I got here have a good time the model I got here have a good time the model I got here shipped with dual Channel 16 gig per shipped with dual Channel 16 gig per shipped with dual Channel 16 gig per stick so 32 gigs in total of a ddr4 ram stick so 32 gigs in total of a ddr4 ram stick so 32 gigs in total of a ddr4 ram and like most many PCs like this it is and like most many PCs like this it is and like most many PCs like this it is very easy to go ahead and remove and very easy to go ahead and remove and very easy to go ahead and remove and upgrade it if you would like to as it upgrade it if you would like to as it upgrade it if you would like to as it does support up to 64 gigabytes of does support up to 64 gigabytes of does support up to 64 gigabytes of memory additionally we have a stock memory additionally we have a stock memory additionally we have a stock Intel nvme SSD with a capacity of 512 Intel nvme SSD with a capacity of 512 Intel nvme SSD with a capacity of 512 gigabytes on the Amazon page it says gigabytes on the Amazon page it says gigabytes on the Amazon page it says it's rated up to 3000 megabytes a second it's rated up to 3000 megabytes a second it's rated up to 3000 megabytes a second but according to Blackmagic we are but according to Blackmagic we are but according to Blackmagic we are getting roughly half of that in the getting roughly half of that in the getting roughly half of that in the Drive does have Windows 11 Pro Drive does have Windows 11 Pro Drive does have Windows 11 Pro pre-installed and unlike this b-link PC pre-installed and unlike this b-link PC pre-installed and unlike this b-link PC the GTR 6 that we checked out earlier I the GTR 6 that we checked out earlier I the GTR 6 that we checked out earlier I didn't need to reinstall Windows all the didn't need to reinstall Windows all the didn't need to reinstall Windows all the drivers were there and they don't have a drivers were there and they don't have a drivers were there and they don't have a weird sketchy driver site like a b-link weird sketchy driver site like a b-link weird sketchy driver site like a b-link seems to have I almost forgot probably seems to have I almost forgot probably seems to have I almost forgot probably the absolutely most important component the absolutely most important component the absolutely most important component in here is the processor that is the in here is the processor that is the in here is the processor that is the Intel i5 1240p with 12 cores and 16 Intel i5 1240p with 12 cores and 16 Intel i5 1240p with 12 cores and 16 threads with a base operating frequency threads with a base operating frequency threads with a base operating frequency of 2.5 gigahertz rising up to 4.4 of 2.5 gigahertz rising up to 4.4 of 2.5 gigahertz rising up to 4.4 gigahertz in Burst Mode the graphics are gigahertz in Burst Mode the graphics are gigahertz in Burst Mode the graphics are integrated Intel Iris Z graphics with integrated Intel Iris Z graphics with integrated Intel Iris Z graphics with support up to 4K and we will see how support up to 4K and we will see how support up to 4K and we will see how this compares to the current integrated this compares to the current integrated this compares to the current integrated ryzen Graphics or the Radeon graphics a ryzen Graphics or the Radeon graphics a ryzen Graphics or the Radeon graphics a little bit later now I did mention how little bit later now I did mention how little bit later now I did mention how there's a little spot to actually place there's a little spot to actually place there's a little spot to actually place an extra 2.5 inch hard drive and I did an extra 2.5 inch hard drive and I did an extra 2.5 inch hard drive and I did just that I have another 512 gigabyte just that I have another 512 gigabyte just that I have another 512 gigabyte Western Digital blue that I went ahead Western Digital blue that I went ahead Western Digital blue that I went ahead and threw in here unfortunately even

and threw in here unfortunately even and threw in here unfortunately even though it includes hardware and screws though it includes hardware and screws though it includes hardware and screws for the actual back mounts it doesn't for the actual back mounts it doesn't for the actual back mounts it doesn't have hardware for that hard drive tray have hardware for that hard drive tray have hardware for that hard drive tray what's using some of the screws I what's using some of the screws I what's using some of the screws I already had were not big enough when it already had were not big enough when it already had were not big enough when it comes to the actual head of the screw so comes to the actual head of the screw so comes to the actual head of the screw so I was kind of out of luck so I popped I was kind of out of luck so I popped I was kind of out of luck so I popped the little rubber placeholders back in the little rubber placeholders back in the little rubber placeholders back in kept the hard drive in there and just kept the hard drive in there and just kept the hard drive in there and just hoped for the best so with a completely hoped for the best so with a completely hoped for the best so with a completely unboxed and ready to go we are going to unboxed and ready to go we are going to unboxed and ready to go we are going to run some benchmarks and of course we run some benchmarks and of course we run some benchmarks and of course we have to start with my absolute favorite have to start with my absolute favorite have to start with my absolute favorite test and that is geekbench this test had test and that is geekbench this test had test and that is geekbench this test had the single core score at 1612 with a the single core score at 1612 with a the single core score at 1612 with a multi-core score of 93.91 rather multi-core score of 93.91 rather multi-core score of 93.91 rather impressive for a CPU score and in line impressive for a CPU score and in line impressive for a CPU score and in line with a lot of other high-powered with a lot of other high-powered with a lot of other high-powered machines such as the GTR 6 which is machines such as the GTR 6 which is machines such as the GTR 6 which is basically within a margin of error basically within a margin of error basically within a margin of error granted the multi-core score performance granted the multi-core score performance granted the multi-core score performance of this intel was a little higher as it of this intel was a little higher as it of this intel was a little higher as it does have more cores at 12 versus 8. now does have more cores at 12 versus 8. now does have more cores at 12 versus 8. now I did run the compute geek bench score I did run the compute geek bench score I did run the compute geek bench score since I was on Windows and this is where since I was on Windows and this is where since I was on Windows and this is where there was a stark difference between there was a stark difference between there was a stark difference between this Intel and the AMD GTR 6 that I have this Intel and the AMD GTR 6 that I have this Intel and the AMD GTR 6 that I have I tested both Vulcan and opencl and the I tested both Vulcan and opencl and the I tested both Vulcan and opencl and the AMD machine gets about double the score AMD machine gets about double the score AMD machine gets about double the score on both tests compared to this Intel on both tests compared to this Intel on both tests compared to this Intel machine at right around 15 000 versus machine at right around 15 000 versus machine at right around 15 000 versus right around 30 000. actual gameplay right around 30 000. actual gameplay right around 30 000. actual gameplay difference wasn't as dramatic but difference wasn't as dramatic but difference wasn't as dramatic but there's definitely a difference I'll get there's definitely a difference I'll get there's definitely a difference I'll get into that right after I talk about the into that right after I talk about the into that right after I talk about the other synthetic Benchmark that we ran in other synthetic Benchmark that we ran in other synthetic Benchmark that we ran in that is Nova bench Nova bench is really that is Nova bench Nova bench is really that is Nova bench Nova bench is really cool because it gives us a generic score cool because it gives us a generic score cool because it gives us a generic score for CPU Ram GPU and disk speed and at

for CPU Ram GPU and disk speed and at for CPU Ram GPU and disk speed and at least with Nova bench the Intel Mini PC least with Nova bench the Intel Mini PC least with Nova bench the Intel Mini PC actually fell a little bit behind the actually fell a little bit behind the actually fell a little bit behind the AMD machine as AMD scored a 2673 while AMD machine as AMD scored a 2673 while AMD machine as AMD scored a 2673 while the Intel machine scored a 1993 on the the Intel machine scored a 1993 on the the Intel machine scored a 1993 on the CPU score when it comes to Ram speed CPU score when it comes to Ram speed CPU score when it comes to Ram speed this got right about 30 000 megabytes a this got right about 30 000 megabytes a this got right about 30 000 megabytes a second while the AMD machine was about second while the AMD machine was about second while the AMD machine was about 38 000 megabytes a second the GPU score 38 000 megabytes a second the GPU score 38 000 megabytes a second the GPU score of the Intel Iris Graphics gave us 371 of the Intel Iris Graphics gave us 371 of the Intel Iris Graphics gave us 371 while AMD Radeon scored a 614 and then while AMD Radeon scored a 614 and then while AMD Radeon scored a 614 and then for disk speed Nova bench ranked this for disk speed Nova bench ranked this for disk speed Nova bench ranked this about the same as black man magic width about the same as black man magic width about the same as black man magic width about 1500 megabits per second read and about 1500 megabits per second read and about 1500 megabits per second read and write while the AMD machine was at 3700 write while the AMD machine was at 3700 write while the AMD machine was at 3700 right and 2700 read and I'll have links right and 2700 read and I'll have links right and 2700 read and I'll have links down below to both the geekbench and down below to both the geekbench and down below to both the geekbench and Nova bench scores of both of the Nova bench scores of both of the Nova bench scores of both of the machines I'm kind of comparing if you machines I'm kind of comparing if you machines I'm kind of comparing if you want to go a little bit deeper into more want to go a little bit deeper into more want to go a little bit deeper into more specific numbers so now a question that specific numbers so now a question that specific numbers so now a question that we're finally going to get to is can you we're finally going to get to is can you we're finally going to get to is can you use this guy right here as your gaming use this guy right here as your gaming use this guy right here as your gaming machine so I loaded up a couple machine so I loaded up a couple machine so I loaded up a couple different games first starting off with different games first starting off with different games first starting off with Fall Guys this at 1080p mid settings had Fall Guys this at 1080p mid settings had Fall Guys this at 1080p mid settings had us sitting between the 50 to 60 frame us sitting between the 50 to 60 frame us sitting between the 50 to 60 frame per second Mark and the CPU seem to have per second Mark and the CPU seem to have per second Mark and the CPU seem to have maxed out at about 70 degrees Celsius maxed out at about 70 degrees Celsius maxed out at about 70 degrees Celsius overall definitely a very playable overall definitely a very playable overall definitely a very playable experience so from there I went ahead experience so from there I went ahead experience so from there I went ahead and loaded up Call of Duty war zone and and loaded up Call of Duty war zone and and loaded up Call of Duty war zone and the range for this one was a little the range for this one was a little the range for this one was a little bigger with a high in the 30s up to bigger with a high in the 30s up to bigger with a high in the 30s up to about 50 frames per second and the CPU about 50 frames per second and the CPU about 50 frames per second and the CPU did get a little hotter at 75 and this did get a little hotter at 75 and this did get a little hotter at 75 and this was all done at 1080p low settings Now was all done at 1080p low settings Now was all done at 1080p low settings Now One Thing Worth pointing out I'm not One Thing Worth pointing out I'm not One Thing Worth pointing out I'm not sure if it was just this machine or is

sure if it was just this machine or is sure if it was just this machine or is just an unlucky download but I was just an unlucky download but I was just an unlucky download but I was having some really weird graphical having some really weird graphical having some really weird graphical issues within Call of Duty you could see issues within Call of Duty you could see issues within Call of Duty you could see I'm getting a like a rainbow ground I'm getting a like a rainbow ground I'm getting a like a rainbow ground effect here it was rather distracting effect here it was rather distracting effect here it was rather distracting and that is what I am going to blame on and that is what I am going to blame on and that is what I am going to blame on my uh poor performance during the test my uh poor performance during the test my uh poor performance during the test in an attempt to throw a AAA title at in an attempt to throw a AAA title at in an attempt to throw a AAA title at this little mini PC we loaded up Elden this little mini PC we loaded up Elden this little mini PC we loaded up Elden ring at 1080p this kept us in the 20s ring at 1080p this kept us in the 20s ring at 1080p this kept us in the 20s when it comes to the frame rate and I when it comes to the frame rate and I when it comes to the frame rate and I did have the opportunity to get it up to did have the opportunity to get it up to did have the opportunity to get it up to 30 frames per second by dropping it down 30 frames per second by dropping it down 30 frames per second by dropping it down to 720p and of course all this was done to 720p and of course all this was done to 720p and of course all this was done at low settings now I did test the at low settings now I did test the at low settings now I did test the previous three games on that GTR six so previous three games on that GTR six so previous three games on that GTR six so if you do want to kind of see a if you do want to kind of see a if you do want to kind of see a comparison make sure you watch that comparison make sure you watch that comparison make sure you watch that video it will be linked right there and video it will be linked right there and video it will be linked right there and down below but generally speaking we saw down below but generally speaking we saw down below but generally speaking we saw about a 10 to 30 frames per second boost about a 10 to 30 frames per second boost about a 10 to 30 frames per second boost going to the AMD Radeon machine so with going to the AMD Radeon machine so with going to the AMD Radeon machine so with this guys some bonus games I loaded up this guys some bonus games I loaded up this guys some bonus games I loaded up Minecraft and with 12 chunks fast Minecraft and with 12 chunks fast Minecraft and with 12 chunks fast settings at the full 1440p that my settings at the full 1440p that my settings at the full 1440p that my monitor is we were at the high hundreds monitor is we were at the high hundreds monitor is we were at the high hundreds when it comes comes to frame rates and when it comes comes to frame rates and when it comes comes to frame rates and then jumping into settings and changing then jumping into settings and changing then jumping into settings and changing everything including the render distance everything including the render distance everything including the render distance to the highest possible we still were to the highest possible we still were to the highest possible we still were sitting at around a comfortable 60 sitting at around a comfortable 60 sitting at around a comfortable 60 frames per second granted doing this did frames per second granted doing this did frames per second granted doing this did have our CPU absolutely cooking at 80 have our CPU absolutely cooking at 80 have our CPU absolutely cooking at 80 degrees Celsius and just for fun I went degrees Celsius and just for fun I went degrees Celsius and just for fun I went ahead and loaded up a good old ahead and loaded up a good old ahead and loaded up a good old Playstation 2 emulator as an excuse to Playstation 2 emulator as an excuse to Playstation 2 emulator as an excuse to play some jack 2 and running this play some jack 2 and running this play some jack 2 and running this emulator was actually kind of emulator was actually kind of emulator was actually kind of interesting because instead of relying interesting because instead of relying interesting because instead of relying on the GPU like a lot of the other games on the GPU like a lot of the other games on the GPU like a lot of the other games it was very CPU dependent which it did

it was very CPU dependent which it did it was very CPU dependent which it did result in the clock speeds actually result in the clock speeds actually result in the clock speeds actually turbo boosting up to the possible 4.4 turbo boosting up to the possible 4.4 turbo boosting up to the possible 4.4 gigahertz and you could see the overall gigahertz and you could see the overall gigahertz and you could see the overall CPU usage is rather low and this did CPU usage is rather low and this did CPU usage is rather low and this did actually result in cooler overall actually result in cooler overall actually result in cooler overall temperatures at about 60 degrees Celsius temperatures at about 60 degrees Celsius temperatures at about 60 degrees Celsius while we were locked in at about 60 while we were locked in at about 60 while we were locked in at about 60 frames per second the entire time so frames per second the entire time so frames per second the entire time so overall to be quite Frank is this the overall to be quite Frank is this the overall to be quite Frank is this the best bang for your buck I would have to best bang for your buck I would have to best bang for your buck I would have to say probably not and some of the things say probably not and some of the things say probably not and some of the things that we've done today I don't even think that we've done today I don't even think that we've done today I don't even think is really the best use case for this is really the best use case for this is really the best use case for this personally one with Intel the amount of personally one with Intel the amount of personally one with Intel the amount of cores that we have the 12 cores cores that we have the 12 cores cores that we have the 12 cores available to us I think that this would available to us I think that this would available to us I think that this would probably suit you best as a wonderful probably suit you best as a wonderful probably suit you best as a wonderful little home lab proxmox server type little home lab proxmox server type little home lab proxmox server type situation you got 2.5 gigabit you have situation you got 2.5 gigabit you have situation you got 2.5 gigabit you have the extra room where you can fit a huge the extra room where you can fit a huge the extra room where you can fit a huge 2.5 inch hard drive in there I'd much 2.5 inch hard drive in there I'd much 2.5 inch hard drive in there I'd much rather use this guy over the GTR 6 in a rather use this guy over the GTR 6 in a rather use this guy over the GTR 6 in a home lab server type environment any day home lab server type environment any day home lab server type environment any day but I would much rather use that GTR 6 but I would much rather use that GTR 6 but I would much rather use that GTR 6 as my daily driver desktop computer as my daily driver desktop computer as my daily driver desktop computer which I've been doing and plus it's an which I've been doing and plus it's an which I've been doing and plus it's an Intel licensed Machine versus a random Intel licensed Machine versus a random Intel licensed Machine versus a random like Chinese company so that is also like Chinese company so that is also like Chinese company so that is also something to highly consider now with something to highly consider now with something to highly consider now with that please let me know down below what that please let me know down below what that please let me know down below what you think of this versus other Mini PC you think of this versus other Mini PC you think of this versus other Mini PC options on the market today and if options on the market today and if options on the market today and if you're interested in learning about some you're interested in learning about some you're interested in learning about some of those other options again of course of those other options again of course of those other options again of course I'll be linking down below and I'll I'll be linking down below and I'll I'll be linking down below and I'll actually be linking right here so you actually be linking right here so you actually be linking right here so you might as well click that might as well click that might as well click that it's right there just it's right there just it's right there just give it a click
