This All-New Ryzen 8840U X86 Board Is Fast & We Added An OCuLink GPU! Hands-On

In this video we take look at new AMD Ryzen 7 8840U Powered SBC known as the ASRock 8840U 4X4. This has enough power to run AAA PC games like Cyberpunk, Fortnite, Helldivers 2 and more on the Radeon 780M gpu but we can also ad an OCuLink GPU like the GPD G1 Radeon RX 7600M XT! With 8 Zen 4 cores this little board packs a punch!

Looks like the guts from a mini pc sold as a standalone board. I could definitely see using it in a creative tech project. Maybe also the GPU assuming there's a graceful way to route power to everything.

[pedretejb]

It runs Cyberpunk better than my whole pc 💀 bro

Since I use Linux as main OS for everything, always want to see one of these mini PC's run Linux and play games.

Given that the link is to Asrock Industrial, I'm going to assume there's no easy path to ownership. At least, not as an individual hobbyist.

i think this may be the smallest SBC i've seen so far that can run AAA games with ease! so many things you can build with this thing :)

[Mchenrygames]

no matter how good an arm board may be, sometimes I just need to run x86 apps

[Hi]

This is so tiny yet super powerful and easily extendable . I'm really excited for what future handhelds and phone gpus can do

[andylaidb]

There is one thing I would like to point out.
The interface of the connector on the backside of the motherboard is ESPI instead of SATA.
It just happens to have same type of connector as the SATA connector they usually have on different 4X4 board.

I love AMD has done for the APU space. I am super excited for next GEN. Can’t wait to see your videos on it to

[Maeglin]

I could imagine it be mounted in a 3½" drive bay in an old retro style case together with a another standard motherboard to have a great combi use system

The future has arrived at last. What a time to be alive.

[TheBlackCatable]

This is my life: 3:20 . You captured it perfectly...

[Crustenscharbap]

I wish there would be any possibility to put this PC into a fanless case. 42W is not hard to cool without any fans.

[floppa]

The flexibility of X86 is just great. You can run pretty much any distro and any software.

[Mamiya]

A quality 780m box with oculink like this feels like my jam for work and gaming, including VR on both. Sharp pixels good pixels..

[fuzzymuppet]

Hopefully, "fingers crossed", that by the time 9th gen ryzen mobile apus come out, pcie 5.0 x4 nvme slots will trickle down to these smaller boards, since there already available on hedt mobos and 5.0x4 ssds already exist... that should kill 90% if the bandwidth issues with occulink or nvme adapters.

[Neopulse]

"WTF is this crazy SBC?"

It was my first thought seeing the thumbnail of this video.

[bgates]

Amazing what a difference a dedicated GPU makes to gaming.

[ahilker]

You may be able to get that thing to boot using USB power if you change the tdp bios setting to "quiet mode".

[daveweinstein]

Nice video. I would love to see you run Linux on it. Would also love to see you trying some of the other cool SBCs like CWWK's X86-P5, which is an N305 SBC that can add a daughter board with 4x SSDs... that would be an interesting experiment to run TrueNAS or UNRAID on ;-)
