Topfeel Launches DeskOne T2 Mini PC with AMD "Strix Point" APU in China
A new tiny but powerful mini PC named DeskOne T2, from the brand Topfeel, has been launched in China. The system can be outfitted with up to high-performance AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 "Strix Point" APU, giving it a good deal on a robust selection of ports that includes dual 2.5G Ethernet and OCuLink.
Processing and Graphics Performance
The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU is the star of the show when it comes to high-end performance in the DeskOne T2. Built on a Zen 5-based architecture, the processor has 12 cores and 24 threads and is considered to perform at par with Intel's Core Ultra 9 285H in synthetic benchmarks. An economically sold version of the mini PC is also available, carrying the AMD Ryzen 7 H 255 APU, which is a Zen 4-based octa-core chip lagging around 11% behind the HX 370.
With no space for a discrete graphics card in the 1.3-liter chassis, the integrated Radeon 890M iGPU is capable of address the needs of casual gaming and lightweight creative work. The system also includes OCuLink for an external GPU (eGPU) connection at much greater speeds than USB4 for users who want that much more graphical power.
Connectivity, Memory, and Storage
The DeskOne T2 has an exhaustive list of I/O ports:
- 1x HDMI 2.1
- 1x DisplayPort 2.1
- 2x 2.5G Ethernet
- 1x OCuLink
- 2x USB4 Type-C
- 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
- 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A
- 1x USB 2.0 Type-A
- 1x 3.5 mm audio jack
Internally, the machine has two SODIMM slots supporting a maximum of 128GB DDR5-5600 memory, and it has three M.2 slots for storage. The thermal system consists of a single large fan and four heat pipes.
Build, Pricing, and Availability
The chassis of the DeskOne T2 is made of anodized aluminum. Price starts from 2399 Yuan (~$339) for the barebones version with Ryzen 7 H 255 APU. The flagship configuration with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 32 GB of RAM, and 1 TB SSD comes for 5499 Yuan (~$779).
Right now, the DeskOne T2 mini PC is available in China only, with no word at this point on if there will be an international launch.
