Gigabyte has unveiled its brand new BRIX Mini-PC for 2021 which is being powered by AMD's latest Ryzen 5000U Cezanne APUs. The BRIX Mini is a small form factor PC that offers great performance for business, office setups, and even as an HTPC setup.
Gigabyte BRIX Mini-PC 2021 Rocks AMD's Ryzen 5000U Cezanne APUs, Up To 2 TFLOPs of Compute Performance
While it's not stated which exact AMD Ryzen 5000U 'Cezanne' APU the Gigabyte BRIX Mini-PC uses, one can guess that we will see several configurations with the high-end being based on the Ryzen 7 5800U. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800U is an 8 core and 16 thread mobility chip that features a base clock of 1.9 GHz and a boost clock of 4.4 GHz. The APU also carries 20 MB of cache and a TDP that can be configured up to 25W (15W default). The GPU part is a Vega 8 chip with 512 cores and a 2000 MHz clock speed.
According to Gigabyte, the BRIX Mini-PC with AMD Ryzen 5000U APUs will deliver a 16% increase in single-threaded and 14% increase in multi-threaded performance compared to the Renoir Mini PC. The APU will also deliver a maximum theoretical compute performance of 2.048 TFLOPs. Specs also include support for up to 64 GB DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM memory, 1 Gen 4 M.2 slot, Built-in WiFi6E & BT5.2 capabilities, Realtek 2.5G LAN, and a range of I/O ports which include a quad display (Type-C / 2 HDMI / mDP with HDCP), 5 USB 3.2 ports, a Realtek Audio and headphone jack.
Two versions of the Gigabyte BRIX Mini-PC have been announced. A tall version that allows users to install a 2.5" SSD/HDD and a slim version that lacks that capability. Power is provided from either a 90W or a 135W AC-DC adapter. There's also a VESA Mounting bracket that ships with the Mini-PC. As for upgrade options, users have two upgrade kits to select from which include an I/O expander for adding a 2nd LAN and RS232 communication port & a storage expander for adding 2 additional M.2 SSDs for a total of 3 SSDs.
Some technical specifications of the Mini-PC are provided below:
•Ultra compact PC design in 2 size (Slim /HDD)

Gigabyte's internal test results show that the new 2021 BRIX Mini-PC produces just 35 dbA noise at boost mode which has an operating TDP of 37.5W for the AMD Ryzen 5000U Cezanne APUs. In idle mode, the noise level stays at a steady 20 dbA. The BRIX Mini-PC is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2021.
