BOSGAME P1

The BOSGAME P1 is a compact AMD mini PC built on the Ryzen 7 5700U, an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 2 chip that runs from 1.8 to 4.3GHz. Its Radeon Vega 8 graphics cover everyday computing and light gaming. Both builds ship with 32GB of DDR4 (expandable to 64GB) and an NVMe SSD of up to 1TB, and the wireless and wired networking (Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port) makes it as much a home-server platform as a desktop.

Small, cool-running, and expandable to 64GB

At 5.2 inches square and 2 inches thick, the P1 is small enough to tuck behind a monitor. The Ryzen 7 5700U runs at a 25-watt TDP, which keeps the system cool and relatively quiet (EVO Tech measured 71 to 76C and 25 to 35 watts even under gaming load).

Both builds carry 32GB of DDR4 across two channels, and the memory can be taken to 64GB. Storage sits on a single M.2 PCIe 3.0 2280 slot, holding 512GB or 1TB depending on the build, with a 2.5-inch SATA bay beside it that takes a drive of up to 2TB. That combination suits an always-on box that needs a fast system drive and a slower bulk drive in the same shell.

Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 handle wireless, and the 2.5 gigabit Ethernet port is what lifts this box out of ordinary desktop duty. The wired ports run to two HDMI outputs, DisplayPort over the single USB-C, two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports, and a combo headphone jack. The Radeon RX Vega 8 graphics drive those displays and handle multimedia and older games; the latest titles are past them.

Reviewer Insights

EVO Tech, a YouTube reviewer, published the most detailed hands-on look at the BOSGAME P1 in January 2024, in a video titled “Cheap 8 Core Ryzen Server! | Bosgame P1 Mini PC Review | R7 5700U 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz 1TB NVMe SSD.” Watch the full review here. The unit tested matches the configuration on this page: the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (8 cores, 16 threads), 32GB of DDR4-3200, a 1TB NVMe SSD, and the 2.5 gigabit LAN that EVO Tech treats as the P1’s standout feature.

In Cinebench R23 the P1 scored 9,063 multi-core and 1,257 single-core. During gameplay the on-screen power overlay stayed between roughly 25 watts (Killing Floor 2, Rainbow Six Siege) and 35 watts (Mount & Blade II Bannerlord, Company of Heroes II), with CPU temperatures in the 71 to 76C range. EVO Tech credits the chip’s low ceiling, calling the 5700U “extremely efficient at just 25 watts of TDP,” which means it will “stay cool and quiet during pretty much all operation.”

On gaming, EVO Tech’s 1080p testing shows the integrated Radeon graphics handling older and esports titles far better than the latest releases. Rainbow Six Siege ran at a 99 FPS average (84 FPS 1% low) with FSR set to Performance, and Alien Isolation managed 52 FPS at Ultra (40 FPS 1% low). Lighter or older titles such as Killing Floor 2 hit a 77 FPS average at the lowest preset. Newer or heavier games dropped sharply: Mount & Blade II Bannerlord and Company of Heroes II landed in the mid-40s, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage struggled to a 34 FPS average even at the lowest settings with aggressive FSR. EVO Tech is blunt about the limits, noting “you’re certainly not going to be playing the latest titles at even low settings without having to use something like FSR at some pretty aggressive settings,” and that “titles like Counter-Strike 2 have made systems like this a tough sell.”

For the home-server role, EVO Tech installed a Fedora-based Linux distribution, then Docker and Portainer, and ran the box as both a day-to-day computer and a container host, leaning on the 2.5 gigabit NIC so that multiple machines hitting it over the network would not bog down the connection. EVO Tech ends on longevity at low power, saying “if you’re just looking for a system that you could plop down set up and have up and running for the next decade this is pretty much it.” If you are weighing whether to keep the included Windows install or switch to Linux for that server role, our guide on whether to keep, wipe, or switch walks through exactly that decision.

EVO Tech’s video is the hands-on review cited here. In 2026 terms, the Ryzen 7 5700U is a budget, Zen 2-generation mobile chip. Its PassMark multi-thread score of roughly 15,853 sits well below current mini PC processors, and comfortably above what the productivity, media, and always-on server work it is aimed at demands.

Customer Reviews

Across 73 ratings on Amazon, the BOSGAME P1 averages 3.8 stars, with 54 percent of buyers leaving five stars and 18 percent leaving one. The positive reviews cluster around fast setup and value for the price. Bahzing1, a verified buyer, wrote “I love this little computer with loads of ram,Windows 11, and it is set up in like 20 minutes,” and James Debenedetto, also a verified buyer, said it handles graphic-design programs “with ease.” Several owners who use it for streaming and light gaming were satisfied; Julio Garay, a verified buyer, called it “Great value for the price.”

The lower ratings point at reliability. Verified buyer Brian Peerson reported the unit “Crashes and restarts at least once a day sometimes as many as 4 or 5,” and Merin Nakarmi, another verified buyer, described Bluetooth dropping out and the machine losing internet entirely “Just after a year and a month.” A couple of reviewers also raised Windows licensing concerns; Erik N. verified that his copy of Win 11 was genuine, while a later one-star review flagged the opposite.

Best as an always-on box on a 2.5GbE network

It costs little to run around the clock and keeps up when several machines pull from it at once, the role EVO Tech rates it highest for. The 8-core chip and 32GB of RAM leave enough headroom to use the same box as a desktop while it serves.

Vega 8 graphics cap gaming at older and esports titles, so heavy graphics work belongs elsewhere. For more power, a newer model like the BOSGAME P3 with a current Ryzen chip is the better buy. To compare options, use Starry Hope’s Mini PC Comparison Chart.
