At the very core of the SER3 3200 is an AMD Ryzen3-3200U processor, which is developed on the 14 nm technology node and architecture Dali (Zen+), has two CPU cores, 4 threads running at 2.6-3.5GHz, and integrated Radeon Vega 3 Graphics running at 1200MHz. This SoC. is released in Q1, 2018, so it won’t really match the latest mobile chips found in mainstream laptops, but it should be able to compete with those Celeron and Pentium processors in budget-friendly SFF PCs. My review unit also has 16GB dual-channel DDR4 memory and 500GB NVMe SSD under the hood.

In the cross-platform Geekbench 5 test, the SER3 3200 outpaced the Pentium N6005 powered Intel NUC 11 Essential in CPU single core performance, and was generally on par with the later in multi-core.

It's a similar story in Maxon's CPU-crunching Cinebench R20 test.

PCMark 10, which simulates different real-world productivity and content-creation workflows, may be the better benchmark for assessing overall system performance. The SER3 3200 scored 3253 in the standard PCMark 10 test, this is a fairly decent score for an entry-level machine.

The SER3 3200 ships with an m.2 2280 NVMe SSD. Numbers in the CrystalDiskMark aren’t the best we've seen, but this drive is still a whole lot faster than SATA SSDs found in other budget models. As a result, booting up Windows only takes a few seconds, and opening big applications is also quite fast.

Daily computing​

I am quite impressed by just how capable the machine is with my daily computing chores, such as web surfing, writing articles, spreadsheet calculations, media playback, and similar. Much of this post, including all the image editing, was written using the SER3 3200 Mini PC.

For most users, this mini PC is sufficient performance-wise. But if you regularly do heavier computing duties like 4K video making or professional photo editing, you should probably consider something like the GTR5 or the GTI11, although these models aren’t full-blown workstation-class PCs neither.

Gaming​

The three Vega GPU cores in the SER3 3200 have decent specs for such a budget-friendly product: 192 unified shaders, support for DirectX 12, and support for Vulkan, Pixel Shader 5.1, and Vertex Shader 5.1. It won't mtach the latest Iris Xe Graphics or Vega 8, but it should easily blow the Intel UHD graphics out of the water. In 3DMark, the SER3 3200 scored 4964 in Sky Diver, 1433 in Fire Strike, and 477 in Time Spy.

LOL was perfectly smooth in 1080P and medium settings. There were no frame drops even in intense battle scenes. GamePP recorded an average frame rate of 77 FPS, and that’s quite good for such a budget-friendly machine.

Genshin Impact was playable in 1080P and low settings, with an average of 22 FPS. Even though I did experience a few stutters in some of the scenes, but there were no real delays. After turning the resolution down to 720P, the average frame rate was improved to 46 FPS, and visuals became smooth and much more enjoyable.

As the results suggested, even though this machine isn’t designed for gaming, you can run many popular titles with lower graphics and resolution settings. Also, games installed from Microsoft store and lightweight tower defense games were always quite smooth. As the power consumption of the Ryzen3 processor is very low, you can game on the SER3 3200 for a long time without thinking about the overheating issue.

HTPC​

AMD Radeon Graphics isn’t really known for its video decoding capabilities, but the SER3 3200 can still be a solid HTPC for online and local 4K content.

According to DVXA, the Radeon Vega 3 GPU can decode many video formats up to 4K. The SER3 3200 has no problem playing any 4K Blu-Ray videos I threw at it, but it struggled with all 8K content.

Streaming 4K, 60fps YouTube videos in the browser is also quite smooth, but 8K has yet again proven to be a bit too much for the SER3 3200, as the CPU usage hits 100% every time I switched the video resolution to 8K.
