Mini PC newcomer takes market by storm with socketable CPU — and, surprise, surprise, a mysterious direct PCIe connection, that’s faster than Thunderbolt 4 and no, it’s not OCuLink
We’ve seen some mini PC powerhouses arriving recently, like the Beelink GTi Ultra. The Turbo Mini X from Mini Maker (a brand from Taiwanese OEM Hibertek) measures just 214.6 x 36.3 x 180mm and weighs a mere 1.4 liters, but packs a punch far above its diminutive size.
Unlike many mini PC offerings that rely on mobile CPUs and integrated graphics, the Turbo Mini X supports a desktop-class 65-watt CPU and connects to an external discrete graphics box, the StreamPlay X, via a proprietary port.
