Are budget mini PCs finally powerful enough to replace full-sized desktop PCs for everyday use? In this video, we put the new Beelink EQi powered by Intel’s Wildcat Lake Core 3 304 processor to the ultimate test!
Unlike older budget chips (like the Intel N100 or N150), the Core 3 304 introduces a hybrid architecture featuring 1 high-performance Panther Cove P-core paired with 4 Darkmont Efficiency cores, plus integrated Intel Xe3 graphics. We test real-world productivity, 4K media playback, thermals, power draw, and even light gaming to see if this compact machine is worth your money.
