General info
SSD storage capacity
500GB
The amount of internal storage available on the Solid State Drive (SSD). SSDs use flash memory, which typically has better performance than HDD memory.
HDD storage capacity
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The amount of internal storage available on the Hard Disk Drive (HDD). HDDs use magnetic recording to store and read data.
form factor
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The form factor of the motherboard.
NVMe version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The version of NVMe that the SSD is using.
Is an NVMe SSD
✔Beelink SER5
NVMe SSDs use the PCIe interface, which has a higher bandwidth than the SATA interface. This results in much faster read/write speeds compared to SSDs which use the SATA interface.
thickness
126 mm
The thickness (or depth) of the product.
height
42 mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
width
126 mm
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
weight
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
CPU
The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
CPU speed
6 x 2.3 GHz (AMD Ryzen 5 5560U)
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
When the CPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
CPU threads
12 threads (AMD Ryzen 5 5560U)
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
Has integrated graphics
✔Beelink SER5 (AMD Ryzen 5 5560U)
With integrated graphics you don’t need to buy a separate graphics card.
uses multithreading
✔Beelink SER5 (AMD Ryzen 5 5560U)
Multithreading technology (such as Intel's Hyperthreading or AMD's Simultaneous Multithreading) provides increased performance by splitting each of the processor's physical cores into virtual cores, also known as threads. This way, each core can run two instruction streams at once.
L3 cache
8 MB (AMD Ryzen 5 5560U)
A larger L3 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
L2 cache
3 MB (AMD Ryzen 5 5560U)
A larger L2 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
L1 cache
384 KB (AMD Ryzen 5 5560U)
A larger L1 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
Graphics card
VRAM
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
VRAM (video RAM) is the dedicated memory of a graphics card. More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.
floating-point performance
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.
effective memory speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.
GPU clock speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The clock speed of the graphics processing unit (GPU).
GPU memory speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.
GPU turbo
1600 MHz (AMD Ryzen 5 5560U)
When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
texture rate
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
pixel rate
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
supports ray tracing
✖Beelink SER5
Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in games.
Memory
RAM
16GB
Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of memory used to store working data and machine code. Having more RAM is particularly useful for multitasking, allowing you to run more programs at once or have more tabs open in your browser.
RAM speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance.
DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is the most common type of RAM. Newer versions of DDR memory support higher maximum speeds and are more energy-efficient.
memory slots
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
More memory slots (also known as DIMM slots) allow you to add more RAM to your computer. It is also useful when upgrading, as you can add RAM to an empty slot instead of replacing an existing memory module.
Connectivity
Wi-Fi version
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n)
The Wi-Fi versions supported by the device.
supports Wi-Fi
✔Beelink SER5
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
Has Bluetooth
✔Beelink SER5
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to easily transfer data between different devices, such as smartphones, tablets and computers.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
More USB 2.0 ports allow you to connect more devices to your computer that support USB 2.0.
USB 3.2 Gen 2 supports speeds of up to 10Gbps. It was formerly known as USB 3.1 Gen 2. These ports use the older USB-A connector.
USB 3.2 Gen 1 supports speeds of up to 5Gbps. It was formerly known as USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0. These ports use the older USB-A connector.
USB 3.2 Gen 2 supports speeds of up to 10Gbps. It was formerly known as USB 3.1 Gen 2. These ports use the USB-C connector.
This version of USB 4 supports very high speeds of up to 40Gbps. Unlike USB 3.2, USB 4 can dynamically allocate bandwidth to video and data. These ports use the USB-C connector.
