The thickness (or depth) of the product.
height
205 mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
width
69.3 mm
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
weight

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
8 x 3.8 GHz (AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS)
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.
turbo clock speed
5.1GHz (AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS)
When the CPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
CPU threads
16 threads (AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS)
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
Has integrated graphics
✔Minisforum Neptune HX100G (AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS)
With integrated graphics you don’t need to buy a separate graphics card.
uses multithreading
✔Minisforum Neptune HX100G (AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS)
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
16 MB (AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS)
A larger L3 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
L2 cache
8 MB (AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS)
A larger L2 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
L1 cache
512 KB (AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS)
A larger L1 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
Graphics card
VRAM
8GB (AMD Radeon RX 6650M)
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.

8.85 TFLOPS (AMD Radeon RX 6650M)
Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.
effective memory speed
14000 MHz (AMD Radeon RX 6650M)
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
2068 MHz (AMD Radeon RX 6650M)
The clock speed of the graphics processing unit (GPU).
GPU memory speed
1750 MHz (AMD Radeon RX 6650M)
The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.
GPU turbo
2416 MHz (AMD Radeon RX 6650M)
When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
texture rate
276.64 GTexels/s (AMD Radeon RX 6650M)
The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
pixel rate
154.6 GPixel/s (AMD Radeon RX 6650M)
The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
supports ray tracing
✔Minisforum Neptune HX100G (AMD Radeon RX 6650M)
Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in games.
Memory
RAM
64GB
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.

✔Minisforum Neptune HX100G
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
Has Bluetooth
✔Minisforum Neptune HX100G
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.
