Onlogic Unveils Ryzen 7 8840U-powered Mini PC With Passive Cooling

[GGforever]

Fanless mini PCs are far from hard to find on the internet, although such systems seldom sport impressive hardware. That is to be expected, considering that powerful components require admirable cooling setups that are difficult to achieve in a passively cooled mini PC. However, Onlogic appears to be poised to tackle that trend by introducing the ML1000G-42 mini PC.

The system, boasting a rather compact 14.2 x 6.1 x 10.7 mm chassis, sports an 8-core Ryzen 7 8840U "Hawk Point" APU paired with up to 96 GB of DDR5-5600 memory. The product is mostly targeted at industrial use, which can be easily deduced from its external design. However, there is nothing specific about this system that outright prevents office users from using this as their daily driver. After all, there is hardly a scarcity of mini PC enthusiasts who prefer fanless systems.




Unsurprisingly, the connectivity options are well-populated as well. At the front, we get a USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port, dual USB4 ports, and an audio jack. At the rear, there are dual HDMI ports, dual USB 2.0 ports, and dual LAN ports split between 2.5 and 1 GbE flavors. For storage requirements, dual M.2 NVMe slots are present, while the M.2 2230 slot allows for add-in wireless cards. An RS-232 serial port is also present. There is no word on pricing or availability yet, but more details should be available soon.

How many customers would notice if they received this instead of that?

Not me, I wouldn't notice

Why not Zen5 Strix Point?

Zen4 is well into its third year now. Sure, it's still decent but this is Onlogic unveiling their newest offering and it's using 2022 architecture. If people aren't concerned about the latest models, then there's a huge surplus of fanless Rembrandt-R (Zen3+/RDNA2) 15-28W offerings at tantalisingly low prices.

Because Zen 5 APUs are tantalisingly expensive?

But seriously, this is basically an industrial PC, rail-mountable, fanless, closed-box, proudly showing off an EIA-232-D port. (I hope I quoted the correct standard revision for the 9-pin RS-232.) Just much too nice looking to be hidden in some closed cabinet along with fuses and cables.
