It's been a few months since the first Mini PCs and laptops featuring AMD's Ryzen 7040 "Phoenix" APUs started rolling out and I had been anxiously waiting to try out one for myself since we've already tested a range of Ryzen 5000 and Ryzen 6000 Mini PCs by now. For example, the iGPU alone on an AMD Ryzen APU is going to be much faster than Intel's Iris and Xe solutions and while it might be changing soon with the arrival of Meteor Lake later this fall, there's no doubt that AMD has some of the fastest Mini PC solutions in the market. The temperatures can also be a bit toasty if you aren't in a well-ventilated room or the Mini PC is sitting in a stuffed-up environment
