"Apple's Mac Mini gets all the attention for compact computing but plenty of people need powerful Windows machines that don't take up half a desk. Developers running Windows-only software, small business owners managing Microsoft ecosystems, content creators working with Adobe suites, and anyone tired of bulky tower PCs all face the same challenge: serious processing power in a tiny package that runs Windows natively."
"This quad-core chip runs at a base frequency of 3.0 GHz and turbos up to 4.8 GHz on single-core workloads with all four cores sustaining 4.3 GHz under full load. Those frequencies matter: They're a determinant of how snappy your applications respond, how well your video-editing software scrubs through timelines, and how many browser tabs you can have open before things start crawling. Eight threads through Hyper-Threading technology allow the processor to juggle multiple tasks simultaneously."
"It's handled by the Intel Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units that deliver performance well above older integrated graphics and give even some entry-level dedicated GPUs a run for their money. That matters from smooth desktop animations to hardware-accelerated video encoding, plus casual gaming and the ability to run design software without throwing hundreds of dollars at a separate graphics card"
The GMKtec M2 Pro S is a book-sized Windows mini PC featuring an Intel Core i7-1185G7, 32GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM, and support for three 4K displays. The i7-1185G7 is a quad-core, eight-thread Tiger Lake chip with a 3.0 GHz base clock, single-core turbo to 4.8 GHz, and sustained 4.3 GHz on all cores under load, enabling responsive applications and multitasking. Intel Iris Xe graphics with 96 execution units handles accelerated video encoding, casual gaming, and design workloads without a discrete GPU.
