The Ryzen 7 4700G measures faster than the i7-9700 however many cores are tested. A Ryzen 5 4600G could b considered to be like an i5-9500 (single threaded) and i7-9700 (multi threaded). "G" processors have been noticeably more powerful than their Intel equivalents recently and AMD's marketing materials suggest this trend continues, though they do rather sneakily compare against 9th generation Intel processors and not the latest 10th generation.Ī Ryzen 3 4300G looks to be broadly equivalent to an i3-9100 in single-threaded and an i5-9500 in multi-threaded operation. OEMs will have more choice for their Mini PCs with the 35W TDP, slightly slower clocked variants: The Ryzen 3 4300GE, Ryzen 5 4600GE and (yep) the Ryzen 7 4700GE. The range consists of the Ryzen 3 4300G, Ryzen 5 4600G and Ryzen 7 4700G.
The new CPUs include an 8 core 16 thread Ryzen 7 for the first time, whereas the previous generation only went to Ryzen 5. Ryzen "G" processors are of particular interest to Mini-ITX aficionados as they do not require a separate graphics card, and therefore can use a much smaller enclosure and power supply. These processors advance the designs of the already-released "Renoir" Ryzen 4000 mobile processors to 35W and 65W desktop power budgets.
Recent announcement (August 2021) | mini-linkĪMD announce Ryzen 4000 "G " Series with Integrated GraphicsĪMD announced today their Ryzen 4000-series desktop processors with integrated graphics. The Turing Pi V2 has a standard 24-pin ATX power connector and 17x17cm Mini-ITX form factor, meaning almost all Mini-ITX cases and power supplies can be used to house the cluster. With 4x Raspberry Pi CM4 pi4.8_x modules connected, a cluster would have 16 cores and 32GB of memory on tap. There are plenty of other interfaces to connect between the modules: HDMI, 2x Mini PCIe, 2x SATA, 4x USB 3.0, 3x 40-pin GPIO, Audio etc. The BMC and its network run independently from the data plane.Įxternal storage is supported with 2 SATA 6Gbps interfaces. The board becomes a cluster when multiple modules are fitted, with each compute module functioning as a node within that cluster.Ģx Gigabit LAN ports sit on the back panel, with an internal 7-port switch with VLAN support connecting all the modules together.Ī Baseboard Management Controller allows remote board diagnostics and cluster management. The Turing Pi V2 is a carrier board which connects and powers up to 4 Raspberry Pi CM4 or Nvidia Jetson compute modules together. Compute Modules lack connectivity, so are generally mounted on a carrier or IO board to provide a route to the outside world. A module has a processor and memory, often flash storage and sometimes Wi-Fi, and not much else.
Turing Pi have announced further details of their second Mini-ITX sized Compute Module cluster board.Ĭompute modules are effectively tiny low power consumption computers.
