They Put an Old Ryzen CPU in a New Mini PC... And It Works!

Six months ago, I would have passed on reviewing a mini PC with a 2022 processor, but the market has changed significantly. I test a Kamrui Pinova P1 Mini PC powered by the AMD Ryzen Embedded R2544 with Radeon Vega 8 graphics, 16GB DDR4 memory, and a 512GB SATA M.2 SSD. With rising RAM and SSD prices changing the cheap mini PC market, this affordable Ryzen mini PC competes with Intel N150 systems like the Beelink EQ14. I cover specs, setup, benchmarks, Geekbench 6, Cinebench 2024, Procyon Office, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, thermals, fan noise, power efficiency, light gaming, home office productivity, cloud workflows, upgrade options, and overall value in 2026 for budget buyers.
