In the PC Gamer hardware office, we've been looking forward to Ayaneo's sweet looking Retro Mini PC for a while now. The portable and handheld computer maker has been promoting it on its site but initially kept the hardware specifications under wraps. Once it went live with its crowdsourced funding project, though, the mysterious innards were no longer…well…mysterious. Powering the PC is one of two APUs and they're both kinda meh: AMD's Ryzen 3 3200U and Ryzen 7 5700U.
Taking a peek at Ayaneo's Indiegogo page shows you that the Retro Mini PC will start at $199 (retail price), and sport an AMD Ryzen 3 3200U, along with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. For $60 more, you get the same APU but double the amount of memory and storage. That processor is from 2019 and is based on AMD's first Zen architecture. You're getting just two cores, four threads, and a boost clock of up to 3.5GHz.
