Beelink SER9

Updated on January 26, 2026

The Beelink SER9 puts AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, the 12-core Strix Point chip with Radeon 890M graphics, into a 0.6-liter metal box. It pairs that with 32GB of soldered LPDDR5X-7500 and two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots that take up to 8TB. The reviewers who tested it reached the same verdict: this is the fastest integrated-graphics mini PC of its size, and it is priced to match, starting near $999 and held back by memory you cannot upgrade.

That makes the SER9 a fit for anyone who wants a small, quiet desktop that can also play games at 1080p without a discrete card. It is harder to justify if you need a cheaper box, eGPU expansion (reviewers ran into stability problems there), or Wi-Fi 7. Connectivity covers USB4, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and 2.5GbE, enough to drive three 4K displays at once.

How the SER9 performs

The HX 370 is a 12-core, 24-thread Strix Point chip (4 Zen 5 cores plus 8 Zen 5c cores) that boosts to 5.1 GHz. In multi-core tests it lands around 23,000 points in Cinebench R23 (23,156 for Robtech, 23,234 for PhilsComputerLab) and roughly 14,900 multi-core in Geekbench 6 (ServeTheHome). That is workstation-class throughput from a box this size.

The bigger story is the Radeon 890M graphics. At 1080p low settings Robtech measured 150 FPS in Counter-Strike 2, 132 in Forza Horizon 5, and 55 in Cyberpunk 2077; TechTablets hit 60 FPS in The Witcher 3 and a 53 FPS average in Cyberpunk 2077 at native 1080p. Digital Foundry’s testing shows the catch: frame rates scale with the power limit but flatten out, gaining only a few frames between 30W and the 65W ceiling, and memory bandwidth caps how far the iGPU stretches in the heaviest titles.

Power and noise are where the SER9 earns its reputation. ServeTheHome measured 7-9W at idle and 76-78W under full load. Across reviews the fan sits near 29 dBA at idle and stays under 40 dBA loaded; Phil at PhilsComputerLab called it the quietest mini PC he had tested. Storage runs through two PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 slots (up to 8TB); the one spec you live with is the memory, 32GB of LPDDR5X-7500 soldered to the board with no upgrade path.

What reviewers found

ServeTheHome

Patrick at ServeTheHome called the SER9 “the biggest generational leap in these mini PCs that we’ve seen in a long time,” and said that “from an integrated GPU perspective, the AMD 370 is absolutely awesome.” His numbers back the enthusiasm: 80-90 FPS in 4K esports titles and idle draw of 7-9W. His reservations were the soldered memory, the Wi-Fi 6 (Intel AX200) radio rather than something newer, and the price, which at $999 ran well above the Beelink SER8 at $649.

Robtech

Robtech reached the headline verdict: “Beelink SER9 is the fastest mini of this size right now with class-leading CPU and integrated graphics performance.” He logged 23,156 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and the 1080p-low game results above, with a peak draw of 102W and CPU temperatures topping out at 76C. He praised the acoustics, saying the SER9 “runs cool, quiet, has fast snappy performance, and is almost everything I’ve ever wanted in a mini PC with integrated graphics,” but flagged the lack of Wi-Fi 7, the data-only front USB-C, and a $999 entry price that pushes some buyers toward discrete-GPU systems.

Digital Foundry

Digital Foundry summed it up as “Strix Point in a tiny box,” powerful and “very very quiet.” Their benchmarking surfaced the SER9’s ceiling: in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p the frame rate climbed from 36 FPS at 15W to 56 FPS at the 65W limit, with diminishing returns past 30W and memory bandwidth holding back the most demanding games. They liked the 820g all-metal build but noted there is no Thunderbolt for an eGPU and that some rear ports are USB 2.0. At around $1,200 for their configuration, they framed it as a strong but expensive pick.

TechTablets

TechTablets called it “probably the best mini PC that I have covered yet” and “the best yet I’ve seen out of integrated graphics,” pointing to 60 FPS in The Witcher 3 and a 53 FPS average in Cyberpunk 2077, both at 1080p. They confirmed the eGPU weakness others noted, reporting that running an external GPU caused random crashes, and listed the usual caveats: roughly $1,000, soldered RAM, and no Wi-Fi 7.

PhilsComputerLab

Phil at PhilsComputerLab leaned on the acoustics: “the SER9 is not only a performance powerhouse, it is also whisper quiet,” and “this is the quietest mini PC I’ve tested.” He recorded over 23,000 points in Cinebench R23 and 9,426 in 3DMark Fire Strike, running 65W performance and 54W balanced modes. His one specific gripe was the low-quality 16kHz built-in microphone.

Customer Reviews of the Beelink SER9

Across 10 ratings on Amazon, the Beelink SER9 averages 3.6 stars, and that number hides a real split: 58 percent of buyers left five stars while 29 percent left one. The enthusiasts point at the Strix Point performance in a small box. Brandon Moore, a verified buyer, called it a “Mini Powerhouse” and wrote that it “Takes up very little space, but packs a ton of operating power.” Mike S., another verified buyer who uses it for Steam Link game streaming, praised it as well but cautioned that he “did need to fix a few things off the bat,” specifically updating the BIOS before the AMD graphics drivers (doing the drivers first, he warns, “will break Windows”).

The negative reviews are worth taking seriously. Ron, a verified buyer, gave it three stars over connectivity and wrote that “the Wi-Fi capability of this PC isn’t very good,” noting some forums tie it to “the metal case and poor antennas” on Beelink SER products; he recommends it only if you plan to use Ethernet. The harshest review is a one-line one-star from a verified buyer, Monkeybox, who called it “Glitchy junk.” With only four written reviews to draw on, this is a small sample, so weigh the BIOS-and-driver update steps and the Wi-Fi reports against your own use case before buying.

Who it is for

The SER9 makes sense if you want desktop-class CPU power and the best integrated graphics in this size class, in a box that stays quiet and sips power at idle. The costs of entry are the price (starting near $999 and climbing past $1,200 in higher configs) and the 32GB of soldered RAM you are stuck with. If you expect to add a graphics card later, read our guide to OCuLink, USB4, and MCIO 8i for mini PC eGPUs first, because reviewers found the SER9’s USB4 eGPU path unreliable. If Wi-Fi 7 or cheaper hardware matters more to you than raw speed, look elsewhere.
