Beelink has launched the EQi 304 mini PC for the global market, making it the first mini PC powered by Intel’s new Wildcat Lake processor. It is designed for everyday productivity and office use.
Beelink EQi 304 Mini PC Specifications
The system is powered by the Intel Core 3 304, a processor built on Intel’s 18A process technology. It features a five-core, five-thread configuration with a maximum turbo frequency of 4.3GHz, alongside an Xe3-LPG integrated GPU. The chip also includes an NPU capable of 24 TOPS for local AI processing.
Coming to storage, you get 512GB of UFS 3.1 flash storage instead of a traditional NVMe SSD. It offers faster performance than eMMC but falls short of modern PCIe 4.0 SSDs. If you need more capacity, you can install SSDs in the two M.2 2280 expansion slots, although they are limited to PCIe 4.0 x2 and PCIe 4.0 x1 bandwidths.
The memory configuration depends on the model. The base version comes with 16GB of soldered LPDDR5-5600 RAM, while the higher-end variants feature 24GB or 32GB of removable DDR5-5600 memory. These models also support memory upgrades of up to 64GB.
Despite its compact 126 x 126 x 44.2mm footprint, the EQi 304 offers a generous selection of connectivity options. It includes two 40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 ports and an HDMI port, enabling support for up to three independent 4K displays at 60Hz. Networking is equally impressive, with 10GbE and 2.5GbE Ethernet ports, along with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 for wireless connectivity.
Additionally, Beelink integrated the 85W power supply directly into the chassis. This allows the computer to run off a standard power cable, eliminating the need for external power bricks.
Pricing and Availability
The Beelink EQi 304 is currently available for pre-order, with prices ranging from $509 to $609 depending on the RAM configuration. All models come with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed and a three-year warranty.
