Elitegroup Computer Systems, better known as ECS, on Friday announced the new Liva SF110-A320 mini-PC with your choice of a 35W AMD Ryzen APU.
Measuring 205 x 176 x 33mm, the ECS SF110-A320 is a 1-liter mini-PC roughly the size of a book. As the model number implies, the SF110-A320 features an AM4 motherboard based around the A320 chipset. According to the listing, it supports Ryzen 3 and Ryzen 5 APUs as long as they conform to the 35W envelope.
However, the quad-core Ryzen 5 2400GE and Ryzen 3 2200GE chips, as well as the latest dual-core Athlon 200GE and Athlon 220GE and 240GE CPUs meet the TDP (thermal design power) limit. While the listing only mentions Ryzen chips, it's possible the mini-PC may support these Athlon parts as well. See the relevant specs below:
Row 0 - Cell 0 | Cores /Threads | Base /Boost Clock Speed (GHz) | L3 Cache(MB) | PCIe 3.0 | Unlocked Multiplier | DRAM | Graphics | Compute Units | Streaming Processors | iGPU Base Clock | TDP |
Ryzen 5 2400GE | 4 / 8 | 3.2 / 3.8 | 4 | 8 | Yes | Dual DDR4-2933 | Radeon RX Vega 11 | 11 | 704 | 1250 MHz | 35W |
Ryzen 3 2200GE | 4 / 8 | 3.2 / 3.6 | 4 | 8 | Yes | Dual DDR4-2933 | Radeon Vega 8 | 8 | 512 | 1100 MHz | 35W |
Athlon 240GE | 2 / 4 | 3.5 / - | 4 | 8 | No | Dual DDR4-2666 | Radeon Vega 3 | 3 | 192 | 1000 MHz | 35W |
Athlon 220GE | 2 / 4 | 3.4 / - | 4 | 8 | No | Dual DDR4-2666 | Radeon Vega 3 | 3 | 192 | 1000 MHz | 35W |
Athlon 200GE | 2 / 4 | 3.2 / - | 4 | 8 | No | Dual DDR4-2666 | Radeon Vega 3 | 3 | 192 | 1000 MHz | 35W |
The ECS SF110-A320 features two DDR4 SO-DIMM memory slots that support a maximum capacity of 32GB and memory speeds of 2,666MHz and greater. However, there are only two storage options on this mini-PC. The M.2-2280 port can house M.2 SSDs up to 80mm, although ECS didn't specify whether it supports only SATA-based or PCIe-based M.2 SSDs or both. There's also a 2.5-inch hard drive bay in case you want to slap an old-school platter drive into the SF110-A320.
The ECS SF110-A320 has a total of six USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports and one USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C port. The little guy has three display outputs: a D-Sub port, HDMI port and DisplayPort output. Internet connectivity comes in the form of a Gigabit Ethernet port and WiFi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.2 wireless connectivity. ECS also gives customers the option to add a RS-232 port or an additional DisplayPort output. The SF110-A320 carries a tiny 90W power supply that feeds of a DC 19V / 4.74A power adapter. It also supports a VESA mount.
