Lenovo ThinkCentre M75q-2 Tiny Performance
Instead of going through the entire Linux-Bench test suite, we are going to show a few performance and power numbers here to give a general sense of performance. One quick note here is that we are using dual-channel memory in the same configuration as we did for the Ryzen 4750GE because that is important for performance.
Python Linux 4.4.2 Kernel Compile Benchmark
This is one of the most requested benchmarks for STH over the past few years. The task was simple, we have a standard configuration file, the Linux 4.4.2 kernel from kernel.org, and make the standard auto-generated configuration utilizing every thread in the system. We are expressing results in terms of compiles per hour to make the results easier to read:
This is an area where two things are happening. First, the Ryzen 5000 series cache is doing extremely well. Second, AMD is holding much higher clock speeds than some of the 8-10 core count Intel units. This is a bit of an anomaly, but if you are comparing this to older generation parts, the new Ryzen 5000 series is very fast. That is also why we say it is equivalent to 12-16 Intel Xeon E5 V1 cores.
7-zip Compression Performance
7-zip is a widely used compression/ decompression program that works cross-platform. We started using the program during our early days with Windows testing. It is now part of Linux-Bench.
Here the AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 4750GE pulls ahead and that makes sense. The Intel chips do too. At the end of the day, there are limitations to having only six cores.
OpenSSL Performance
OpenSSL is widely used to secure communications between servers. This is an important protocol in many server stacks. We first look at our sign tests:
Here are the verify results:
Here AMD is doing well. We saw with the Core i9-10900T series that it was severely thermally limited in the M90q Tiny so that is worth keeping in mind.
Overall, the AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 5650GE performed very well. It is a bit at the mercy of trading a smaller number of cores for higher clock speeds and Zen3. It is certainly very competitive though.
Next, we are going to discuss power consumption before getting to our final words.
Fun fact: when you are upgrading the memory, stick to ECC. It is supported.
I got 20 thread Optiplex, and ever since I have never been happier. I waited sooooooooo long for Ryzen 7 4800U, until I realized that there is a BETTER Intel solution that I can buy right away.
Having ECC makes these small form-factor systems reasonable for server use. The main problem, as I see it, is what’s a reasonable way to rack mount the systems and what does one do with all the weird notebook-style power supplies.
These reviews have been going on for some time and are quite interesting. I think it would be nice to have a “best practices” story about options for rack mounting such things.
Very interesting article, I’m looking to get similar performance at low power consumptions for my homelab where possible.
Promising, though still a little costly in terms of up-front investments.
You can rack mount these by buying a vented rack shelf (with holes in it) and zip tie the power brick to the back of the shelf so it also gets air. The key to these 1L or less mini PC’s lasting is adequate air flow. Most of them fail because they get stuffed behind monitors on peoples desks with little to no airflow and simply run hot day and night.
Are there any servers using similar setups with 1HE, <450mm depth that have 10G (ideally SFP+, but I'll take 10GBaseTX too) on board and allow for expansion with a single PCI-E Half-height card? I know about the Xeon D and EPYC 3000 possibilities, but i'd be willing to try AMD Ryzen 5750.
There are a number of varieties of products and procedures which might be claimed to increase penis size however do they actually work?
Surgical procedures are quite risky and will not
be as effective as claimed. An small amount fats are extracted along with
PRP plasma. The fats is then minimally processed and separated from the pink
cells and oil in the centrifuge. Docs harvest fats from a patient’s stomach, then use a
machine to isolate and concentrate stem cells in it. A penis
block is finished to minimize any discomfort and then with the usage of
a cannula, the house between the pores and skin of the penis and
the underlying fascia is stuffed with fats, stem
cells and PRP progress factors are injected to increase the survival of the fat cells.
Vacuum pumps are generally used to deal with erectile
dysfunction and increase the dimensions of the
penis. Vacuum pumps draw blood into the penis, making
the penis to swell and look larger quickly.
I think I might of disabled my Absolute module. It is no longer available in the GUI menu. I have not seen the old school blue and white text menu like from the old systems.
Is it possible to reset the BIOS password on these units?
