The Beelink SER9 Pro made headlines a few months ago as one of the first mini PCs with AMD's Strix Point APUs. Powered by the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU with the powerful Radeon 890M iGPU, the SER9 Pro promised impressive performance and efficiency in a commendably compact form factor. Now, the brand has unveiled a new variant of the SER9 Pro, powered by the slightly less-powerful Ryzen AI 9 365 APU. This variant will likely be more affordable than its higher-tier sibling, which currently starts from $999 in the US.

The differences between the Ryzen AI HX 370 and the Ryzen AI 365 are actually more substantial than one might think. Both the APUs sport four Zen 5 cores, while the AI 365 gets only six Zen 5c cores compared to the HX 370's eight. The AI 365 also gets a 100 MHz lower boost clock, and a notably slower Radeon 880M iGPU with fewer shaders. Beelink had equipped the HX 370 variant with a 65 watt TDP, but has not disclosed the TDP value for the AI 365 variant yet. That said, going by synthetic benchmark scores, the Ryzen AI 9 365 variant will likely be roughly 20% and 10% slower in CPU and GPU performance respectively than the Ryzen AI HX 370 variant.




Interestingly, the SER9 Pro with the Ryzen AI 365 APU gets slightly faster LPDDR5X memory, at 8000 MHz compared to the HX 370 variant's 7500 MHz. Apart from that, most other aspects of the mini PC appear unchanged, unsurprisingly. The port selection, which includes HDMI, DP, USB4, and 2.5G LAN ports continues to be quite excellent, and the system will be available in four colors. Storage requirements will be handled by dual M.2 2280 slots, supporting up to 8 TB of SSD storage. Beelink's international website is yet to be updated with the new variant, and pricing and availability options remain under wraps for now. As mentioned, however, the SER9 Pro with the Ryzen AI 365 APU is likely to be more affordable than its speedier variant.

Oh yay...AI365...and it's less powerful than an actual 370... So they added the lame ass "AI" buzz word to trick people into thinking it's somehow desirable? AMD's marketing has crossed the line of being sell-outs and nit-wits. Moving on...

Ryzen AI 9 365 specs from AMD's page:

"NPU Engine Performance: Up to 50 TOPS"

So where code uses the NPU You can see performance and energy efficiency gains within that task.
