ASRock Readies Next-Gen DeskMini & DeskMeet PCs With AMD X600 & Intel B760 Motherboards
ASRock is readying its next-gen DeskMini and DeskMeet PCs which will be equipped with AMD X600 & Intel B760 motherboards.

As a last resort, I turned to ASRock that I have DeskMini H110 with the widely known iGPU problem (link) and can they somehow help me. They asked my DeskMini serialnumber and turned out that they have repaired H110M-STX motherboards to sell. The price was 60€ (includes shipping from Netherlands) - Of course I screamed "TAKE MY MONEY"and communication was pretty fast. UPS delivery left everything to be desired, too slow, but finally it arrived. I was like a child to move parts from old motherboard to "new" one. Did fresh Windows install, everything was perfect...until...FREEZE! For ***** sake, really!
Repaired one, they said...my hairy ***! That feeling, when you wanted something so much that solves your problem and then it doesn't...This arrived one is even worse than my broken one, because all you need is a couple of web browsers and youtube - done, complete freeze. Tried to play Lords Mobile in Steam, game cant even open - freeze or shut down. Tried to this Intel Extreme Utility tool trick - even this doesn't work (works with my broken one) - I don't know, what they repaired, but to use DeskMini I had to again move parts to my broken one...Do I have missed something ?
I alose contacted with them, let's see, what they offer for solution, because at the moment this 60€ is very bad investment.

Personally, I don't care much about the DeskMeet, they are nothing exceptional because they are simply small chassis equipped with a microATX motherboard most of the time, the DeskMini are masterpieces of engineering and miniaturization with their cases of less than 2 liters of volume and their motherboards in miniSTX format, where we do not find any of these particular characteristics on the DeskMeet because they are only compact desktop PCs.DeskMeet X600 specs leaked ?
Sweet, one step closer to STX X600. Don't get too excited just yet though, there usually a couple of months between the announcement and launch of the deskmini's.
It's still pretty bad though and being murdered by Meteor Lake iGPU. I'm not sure what 6000mhz ram would do to bridge that gap.Oh great here comes a wallet destroyer
8700g benchmarks indicates it has parity with Ryzen 780m at 4800mhz ram speed, so it should scale nicely with 6000mhz ram.... awaiting more benchmarks
Do the different generation chips have different layout of their IOD? Maybe MinisForum included a small mobile chipset or hub instead?From the spec sheet at ces the rear io is unchanged with only two USB 3.2g2 instead of adding another two USB to the rear for some reason. Unknown if that is because of a limitation of Amd's die or just laziness at asrock.
Seems like Laziness since minisforum has 4x usb3.2g2 + 2x usb4 with dp alt AND Oculink and they managed this on 7000 series mobile chip mini pc um780

That is one of the things I liked about the DeskMini B660 is the 2 additional USB ports.Do the different generation chips have different layout of their IOD? Maybe MinisForum included a small mobile chipset or hub instead?
Or... most likely, ASRock wanted to keep things cheaper and easier.
PCIe4.0 helped too - though from memory some people (i.e. @msystems) had issues OCuLink with that model?That is one of the things I liked about the DeskMini B660 is the 2 additional USB ports.
