      No body plays Helldivers 2 on Trivial with no squad play unless you just started the game or doing a quick job for dailies. That is so misleading. Your performance will tanks hard on higher difficulties with squad play. So anyone watching this do not expect that kind of performance later on in Helldivers 2. It will be more like 40-50.

      I'm a tinkerer and love the idea of the Oculink, you could attach a dual port 10Gbe network card and turn it into a server or a router 5 years down the line.
      That being said I think It would be a rare usecase of the mini to actually use the oculink, if i want a dedicated GPU I would use my gaming pc.
      I Would however use the USB-A port WAY more often, It's so nice to be able to plug in a keyboard or mouse or usb network card w/o having to look for a dongle, even something simple like a usb stick
      It does feel like a downgrade to go from an 8x pcie connection to just 1 usb port, I hope the usb port is usb 10 gig at least. It makes me wonder what they are doing with those extra pcie lanes

    Slightly off-topic. I just purchased an 8-inch mini laptop from Aliexpress. The display is on a pivot, so you can rotate it backward, and then fold it so it becomes a touch tablet. The processor is an N100, so not for triple-A gaming. I plan on using it for UA-cam and emulation gaming. Also, for music after I pair a Bluetooth speaker to it.

    One thing i suggest adding is where the FCLK and MCLK run during testing.
    It doesnt seem as critical as it did with Zen2/3 APUs, but it does affect performance.
    Two different APUs both with 7500MT/s RAM could see a noticable performance difference if one has its MCLK at 2:1 and FCLK at 4:1 and the other runs in 1:1 and 2:1 respectively.
    As an example, with 16GB of RAM i have a 35w mini PC that runs in 1:1 MCLK and 2:1 FCLK with 6400 RAM, but my handheld has 7500MT/s in 1:1 MCLK but 4:1 FCLK and while yes part of the reason it is slower is that it is 30w instead of 35w, but it is still slower if i manually shift power from the CPU to the GPU ending up with the handheld GPU running faster than the miniPC

    This is a weird device to me. It's small but you won't be using it to play non-2D games without an external controller due to how the buttons and right stick are positioned. Looks cool sure but I would never buy something like that when a true handheld gaming PC or laptop just do everything way better.

    • @cheeeeezewizzz
      @cheeeeezewizzz 5 місяців тому

      Did you buy the last model that did have occulink? Because in the forums full of buyers almost every single one of us has been begging GPD to get rid of occulink and bring back USB-A. It actually got so bad mods had to ban any talk about the ports. We hate the occulink. We like the USB-A. Occulink is useless.

  • @cheeeeezewizzz
    @cheeeeezewizzz 5 місяців тому

    Thank God they got rid of that stupid occulink port and brought back the USB-A, everyone in their forums (their actual customers) have been begging them to do that. Occulink is fine, but if it comes at the cost of the USB-A then that cost is too high a price to pay!

    • @cheeeeezewizzz
      @cheeeeezewizzz 5 місяців тому

      They removed occulink because their discord and forums have received several thousands of unique requests from actual buyers to stop putting occulink in the products and give us USB-A instead. We don't want occulink, we want USB-A. We think occulink makes the product worse, not better. They just listened to the actual buyer feedback. When 90% of the people who bought the 2023 model say "We would like this more without occulink and with a USB-A instead" they decided to listen.
      I'll be selling my 2023 with occulink and upgrading to this one ONLY for the USB-A port.
