The Khadas Mind 2 AI PC combines Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processing power, Intel Arc GPU, 64GB RAM, and 2TB SSD in a compact design. Ideal for gaming and multitasking, it supports triple displays and Thunderbolt 4 for high-speed connectivity. Its thermal efficiency and AI-driven performance optimizations make it a standout mini PC for gamers and professionals.
How Does the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H Enhance Performance?
The 16-core/22-thread Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU delivers desktop-grade performance, achieving up to 5.0 GHz turbo speeds. Its hybrid architecture balances power and efficiency cores, enabling seamless multitasking and AI workloads. Benchmarks show 30% faster rendering vs. previous-gen mini PCs, making it ideal for gaming, content creation, and machine learning tasks.
The processor’s Adaptive Boost Technology dynamically allocates power between cores, maintaining stable performance during extended gaming sessions. In Cinebench R23 tests, the CPU scored 1,852 points in single-core and 15,397 in multi-core – outperforming many desktop Ryzen 7 processors. The integrated AI accelerator handles background tasks like noise cancellation and game optimization without impacting foreground performance. Users can expect 18% faster video encoding compared to AMD’s Ryzen 9 7940HS in HandBrake tests, making it particularly effective for streamers needing simultaneous encode/decode capabilities.
Is the Intel Arc GPU Suitable for 4K Gaming?
The integrated Intel Arc GPU with 8 Xe-cores supports ray tracing and handles AAA titles at 1080p/60fps. While 4K gaming requires medium settings, it outperforms AMD Radeon 780M in DX12 titles. DLSS-like XeSS upscaling and driver updates continually improve compatibility, making it a viable option for casual and mid-tier gamers in this compact form factor.
Ryzen 7 vs i5 Gaming Performance
| Game Title | 1080p/High | 1440p/Medium | 4K/Low |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cyberpunk 2077 | 54 FPS | 38 FPS | 24 FPS |
| Elden Ring | 62 FPS | 47 FPS | 29 FPS |
| Forza Horizon 5 | 78 FPS | 61 FPS | 42 FPS |
What Cooling System Prevents Thermal Throttling?
The vapor chamber + dual-fan design dissipates 65W TDP efficiently. Stress tests show CPU temps stabilizing at 82°C under full load – 10°C cooler than similar mini PCs. Adjustable fan curves via Khadas Console app let users balance noise (28dB idle) and performance, crucial for maintaining boost clocks during marathon gaming sessions.
Advanced phase-change thermal material between the CPU and vapor chamber improves heat transfer efficiency by 35% compared to traditional thermal paste. The dual 5mm copper heat pipes direct heat to aluminum fins with 184 cooling channels, enabling 120CFM airflow. During simultaneous CPU+GPU loads, the system maintains 95% of its theoretical performance versus 78% in the ASUS PN64. A unique “Gaming Mode” automatically increases fan speed when detecting game executables, preventing frame drops during critical moments.
“The Mind 2 redefines mini PC potential – its combination of desktop-grade silicon, innovative cooling, and modularity creates a new category between NUCs and laptops. The AI-driven resource allocation is particularly groundbreaking for gamers who multitask.”
