BOSGAME P1

Updated on June 20, 2026

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. The review unit ships with 32GB of DDR4 (expandable to 64GB) and a 1TB NVMe SSD, and the connectivity is a step ahead of older budget boxes: Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, which makes it as much a home-server platform as a desktop.

Detailed Analysis of the BOSGAME P1 Mini PC

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).

The 32GB of DDR4 RAM, expandable to 64GB, provides substantial capacity for multitasking and running demanding applications. The 1TB NVMe SSD offers rapid data access and storage, while additional expansion is possible via an M.2 PCIe 3.0 2280 SSD slot and a 2.5-inch SATA HDD support for up to 2TB.

Connectivity is a strong point for the P1, featuring WiFi 6E for swift wireless connections, Bluetooth 5.2 for connecting peripherals, and a 2.5 gigabit Ethernet port for high-speed networking. The Mini PC provides several USB ports, HDMI outputs, and DisplayPort over USB-C, ensuring a broad range of device and display compatibilities. The integrated Radeon RX Vega 8 Graphics are adept at handling less graphically intensive games and multimedia tasks, though they fall short of the latest gaming titles.

Reviewer Insights on the BOSGAME P1

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.

The numbers EVO Tech put on screen back up the efficiency story. 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 for that: the 5700U is "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."

Where EVO Tech is most enthusiastic is the home-server role. The reviewer installed a Fedora-based Linux distribution, then Docker and Portainer, and ran the P1 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. The pitch is longevity on low power: "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.

A note on scope: EVO Tech is the only substantive hands-on review of the 5700U version of the P1. The rest of the coverage online is short, AI-narrated spec recitations rather than tested reviews, so we have not cited them 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, yet it stays comfortably ahead of what the productivity, media, and always-on server work the P1 is aimed at actually demands.

Customer Reviews of the BOSGAME P1

Across 73 ratings on Amazon, the BOSGAME P1 averages 3.8 stars, and that number hides a real split: 54 percent of buyers leave five stars while 18 percent leave 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 and not performance. 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. Treat this as a budget mini PC that satisfies most buyers but carries a non-trivial tail of units with crashes, connectivity drops, or license trouble. Read more owner reviews on Amazon.

Conclusion

The BOSGAME P1 is a sensible budget pick when efficiency and networking matter more than raw speed. The 8-core Ryzen 7 5700U, 32GB of RAM, and fast storage handle productivity, media, and light gaming, and the 2.5GbE plus low power draw make it a strong always-on home server, the role EVO Tech rates it highest for. The owner reviews back the value, with a real reliability tail (crashes and connectivity drops on a minority of units) worth weighing.

It is not for high-end gaming or heavy graphics work; the Vega 8 caps it at older and esports titles. 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.
