AMD’s overclocked mini PC might just be the fastest in its category: the Metaphyuni Genesis Cube supports up to 80W TDP, has two LAN ports, can drive four 4K displays and has an OCuLink connector
although Metaphyuni is not a well-known brand outside of China, but its latest powerful mini PC, the Genesis Cube, will catch your attention.
The Genesis Cube is available with either an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS (Hawk Point) or 7840HS (Phoenix) processor, both with integrated Radeon 780M graphics. The two CPUs have similar clock speeds of 3.8GHz-5.1GHz, but the 8845HS has a 45W TDP compared to the 35W TDP of the 7840HS, making it better suited for more demanding applications.
Additionally, the Genesis Cube features a Battle mode, which increases the 8845HS’s TDP to 65W for gaming, or a Performance mode, which increases the TDP to 80W.
Customizable RGB lighting
The Genesis Cube supports 5600MHz DDR5 dual-channel memory and PCIe Gen4 and dual M.2 SSDs, allowing for considerable storage flexibility. The Genesis Cube is compact and portable, measuring 150 x 150 x 49.5mm and weighing just 730g.
The front panel has a power button with fingerprint recognition, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The rear panel has two USB4 ports, one of which supports PD3.1 with 140W power delivery and DP1.4a, and the other supports PD3.0 with 100W power delivery. There’s also an Oculink port so you can connect an external GPU, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port, two 2.5G Ethernet ports, DP2.0, and HDMI 2.1.
The Genesis Cube is designed to handle demanding tasks while remaining compact and versatile. It supports up to four 4K displays, making it suitable for a range of professional applications. Customizable RGB lighting effects add to the appeal, so it’s not just powerful, it looks good too.
Pricing for the Genesis Cube starts at 2,699 CNY (around $371) for the 7840HS barebone model, going up to 3,499 CNY ($481) with the addition of 16GB of DDR5 and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. The 8845HS model will set you back 2,899 CNY ($399) for the barebones, going up to 3,699 CNY ($509) with the addition of the same RAM and storage. We have no word on availability outside of China at this time.
