Dear PC enthusiasts worldwide,

We are now searching for the best solution for integrating a Mini PC with a desktop GPU, and we’d like to invite you to share your work and showcase your creativity! 

The solutions for integrating a Mini PC with a discrete GPU on the market today and their limitations are as follows.

1. Mobile Discrete GPU

Performance Limitation: While mobile discrete GPUs are power-efficient, they are far less powerful than their desktop counterparts.

Heat Dissipation Challenge: The integrated discrete GPUs increase the burden on the cooling of the Mini PC, requiring larger heat sinks to improve the efficiency of heat dissipation. This often leads to the size increase in the housing of a Mini PC, which eventually takes away its "mini" characteristics, making it less appealing than the mature and convenient ITX systems.

2. External GPU (Using interfaces such as USB4, Thunderbolt 4, and Oculink for connection.)

Performance loss: While these technologies provide a way to connect a Mini PC with an external GPU, bandwidth and latency limitations will result in performance loss, preventing the external GPU from delivering its true potential.

Portability: Hooking the Mini PC with an external GPU requires additional devices and cables, which contradicts the original purpose of a Mini PC being portable and compact.

Increased cost: An external GPU typically entails additional hardware costs, which is not budget-friendly for most users.

Beelink Solutions

We will adopt an innovative way of integrating dedicated GPUs in our latest AMD 8040 series and Intel 14th generation Mini PCs. This will be a major breakthrough. However, we believe there is no end to the advancement of technology, and better solutions will always come up. We hope to inspire global tech enthusiasts, industry experts, and innovators through this creative challenge to explore a new solution to achieve the following goals:

• 1. Performance: The performance of the discrete GPU (desktop GPU) should be uncompromised.
• 2. Size: The compact size of the Mini PC needs to be retained.
• 3. Cost: The solution should be achieved at a lower cost.
• 4. Implementation: The implementation of the solution should be simple and feasible.
