The Acemagic AM20 mini PC with an AMD Ryzen 7 7735H and 32 GB of RAM can charge smartphones wirelessly
With the AM20, Acemagic is expanding its portfolio and releasing a very interesting representative into the category. However, we are not dealing with a simple upgrade of an existing model but a completely new model. With the AMD Ryzen 7 7735H, the manufacturer has gone for a current SoC which has a powerful iGPU, the AMD Radeon 680M. It's common knowledge that Intel is behind the curve here and with the aforementioned iGPU it's even possible to undertake some small gaming sessions. Acemagic has equipped the device with 32 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD meaning the PC is well specced for now. Buyers will have to set aside just shy of 570 US dollars for the Acemagic AM20 with 16 GB of RAM. Our review sample is currently not listed in Acermagic's own store.
In this review, we pit the Acemagic AM20 against well-known competitors who have already battled their way through our test course. A list of the comparison devices for this review can be found in the following overview.

Acemagic AM20 in detail
Case - with a wireless charging function
The Acemagic AM20 is not visually striking. The device externals are dark gray in appearance although the cover appears black. It shines with a high-gloss look which unfortunately makes it prone to attracting fingerprints. Hidden inside the casing is a charging unit for wireless charging. Smartphones, for example, can be charged during operation at up to 10 watts. This makes the Acemagic AM20 the smallest mini PC with a wireless charging function. When taking a look at the space requirements, the Acermagic AM20 belongs, once more, to the most compact devices. At 10.7 × 10.7 centimeters, its footprint is very small. Height-wise, we also only measured 3.8 centimeters.
The Acemagic AM20 can be fixed to a monitor via a VESA mount. However, this kind of implementation should make it difficult to use the integrated charging unit in the casing.
Features - a good selection including Thunderbolt
The Acemagic AM20 offers a good selection of ports which are found on the front and back. In total, there are five USB ports, one of which also supports Thunderbolt functionality. Displays can be connected via HDMI or USB-C which means three screens are no problem for the Acemagic AM20.
Communication
The installed Wi-Fi module is from Realtek and ideally works in the 5 GHz frequency band. However, backwards compatibility with the 2.4 GHz range is provided. When it came to the fitted Wi-Fi module, our review revealed corresponding results: In terms of data reception, the Acemagic AM20 can still be found in the middle of the pack, but, when it came to sending, our review device slid down to last place. Nevertheless, these results give no cause for concern because the performance displayed here is sufficient for everyday use. For this review, we used our test router, the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000. Both LAN sockets are worth highlighting since they can be used as an alternative to a wireless connection. They both offer up to 2.5 GBit/s which is not the standard for mini PCs.

Maintenance
The top of the Acemagic AM20 can be easily opened because the manufacturer has fitted the device with a magnetically secured flap. Underneath hides the mass storage and the Wi-Fi module, both of which can be easily replaced. You immediately notice three M.2 interfaces for SSDs. Likewise, that is also not standard fare and, considering the compact form factor, that is an important aspect when making a purchase decision. Anyone wishing to also clean the fan will have to further dismantle the device and this is essentially achievable with a delicate touch and the right tools.
Disassembled Acemagic AM20
Performance - The AMD Ryzen 7 7735H only has Zen 3+ cores
With the AMD Ryzen 7 7735H, the Acemagic AM20 has a relatively up-to-date SoC with 8 cores and 16 threads. This ensures you are well-equipped to handle most tasks. So far, other configurations have not been disclosed. When it comes to RAM, the Acemagic AM20 is available with either 16 or 32 GB. The latter is preferable as upgrading is not possible.
Test conditions
We carried out all of the performance tests using the "high performance" energy profile. We didn't change the SoC's performance and left the device in factory mode in accordance with the BIOS settings. Differing energy savings plans were only used for the power consumption measurements as well as the noise level analysis.
Processor
The AMD Ryzen 7 7735H combines eight Zen 3+ cores which means the manufacturer has decided against using AMD's current Phoenix series. Despite this, with 8 cores and 16 threads, SoC achieves decent multi-core performance. However, this shows us that the Acemagic AM20 is only just ahead of the Minisforum UM560 XT. Compared to the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX, the AMD Ryzen 7 7735H loses roughly seven percent. In comparison to the Geekom Mini IT12, we observed almost identical performance rating scores.
In the AIDA64 benchmarks, the Acemagic AM20 demonstrates wonderfully that a powerful SoC has been installed. Nevertheless, the Geekom AS 6 and the Minisforum UM790 Pro are clearly better.
Additional comparisons and benchmarks can be found in our CPU comparison table.

Acemagic AM20 vs. Cinebench R15 multi-loop
With the Cinebench R15 continuous loop, we analyzed the AMD Ryzen 7 7735H's behaviour over a longer period of time. The Acemagic AM20 completed the 50 runs well and without any noticeable loss of performance. Pitted against the Minisforum NAD9, our review model even manages to prevail, achieving a slightly better result.
System performance
From a subjective point of view, the Acemagic AM20's system performance is good and this is demonstrated by the synthetic benchmarks. In PCMark 10, only the Minisforum UM790 Pro is faster. In Crossmark, we observed a similar story although it does cope better with Intel processors. This is the reason why both the Minisforum NAD9 and the Geekom Mini IT12 also have their noses in front of our review device. In the RAM tests, the Acemagic benefits from the fast DDR5 RAM at 6,400 MT/s. Our review sample is unable to keep up with its peers due to high latency.

DPC latencies
Up to this point, we hadn't seen any latency problems when opening multiple tabs in the Edge browser. LatencyMon only showed us increased, but not particularly noticeable, latency when playing our 4K test video. The better devices to date don't perform any better in this area meaning the Acemagic AM20 secured a mid-table placing in our comparison.

Mass storage
Our review device houses a 512 GB SSD from the manufacturer AirDisk. A hitherto unknown company which we haven't yet reviewed. However, the installed SSD uses the PCIe interface meaning the mass storage provides adequate performance. However, the Acemagic AM20's scores don't match those of the Minisforum NAD9. Nevertheless, once again, our review sample managed to secure second place. On the subject of cooling, Acemagic has the AM20 well under control, even though the mass storage only manages to dissipate heat passively via the casing with the help of a thermal pad. Tests show that this works and that the disk's performance doesn't dip. It is possible to install a total of three M.2 mass storage devices. However, 2.5-inch storage cannot be installed in the Acemagic AM20.

Graphics card - AMD Radeon 680M
In synthetic benchmarks, the Acemagic AM20 benefits from the AMD Ryzen 7 7735H's iGPU, the AMD Radeon 680M and its excellent basic performance. It lags an almost negligible distance behind the Minisforum UM790 Pro and the Geekom AS 6 - with the same iGPU - is pushed down to third place. Intel has no chance here and doesn't have much to counter at this point. With the current Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 iGPUs, the Geekom Mini IT12 lags far behind and can only manage a mid-table placing.

Gaming performance - AMD Radeon 680M
For an iGPU, we were already left feeling impressed with the AMD Radeon 680M in our other tests. In this area, the Acemagic AM20 is, without exception, on the same level as the Geekom AS 6. With some small constraints in the graphical details, it's possible to play many games smoothly. However, this doesn't serve as a replacement for a graphics card.

3D Performance via an eGPU dock with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
Since the Acemagic AM20 is equipped with a Thunderbolt port, we took a look at it paired with our Razer Core X and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with the aim of achieving an external 3D graphics performance boost. In principle, there is a noticeable increase in 3D performance. However, by comparison, we saw the Intel NUC 13 Pro Kit perform significantly better. The Acemagic AM20 finds itself more eye-to-eye with the Morefine M600 6600U.
From a subjective standpoint, we can confirm that this combination will let you play many more games smoothly. However, you should also be aware of some limitations. The installed graphics card can only communicate with the system via four PCIe 3.0 lanes. This results in a drastic reduction in bandwidth. This is something which was especially evident in the F1 22 and F1 23 games. We even documented worse results here than compared to the iGPU.

Emissions - Good Performance but still economical
Noise emissions
Compared to the competition, the Acemagic AM20 doesn't score points for quiet operational noise. The mini PC only runs quietly when idle and under low load. Under average load, we already managed to achieve 44.7 dB(A). In the stress test, we then measured 45.4 dB(A) the maximum with which the small computer companion is clearly audible. The Blackview MP200 shows that even louder is possible.

Temperature
The Acemagic AM20 case temperatures give no cause for criticism. Nevertheless, the case lid gets warmer than the other case parts and this is probably down to the SSD's heat dissipation. Anyone equipping the AM20 with three mass storage drives will no doubt achieve even higher values. In the stress test with Prime95, the AMD Ryzen 7 7735H reached a maximum of 87 °C. That can still be considered relatively insignificant although we did observe that the SoC's power consumption didn't exceed 35 watts. There is a clearly defined limit here which also applies to the Cinebench R15 multi-loop. However, the performance limit can be maintained and even after half an hour of continuous load, the processor runs at 28 watts.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 41.6 °C / 107 F, compared to the average of 34.6 °C / 94 F, ranging from 28.2 to 44.9 °C for the class Mini PC.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 38 °C / 100 F, compared to the average of 36.3 °C / 97 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 31.7 °C / 89 F, compared to the device average of 31.4 °C / 89 F.
Power consumption
The Acemagic AM20 is an extremely economical model when you take its power into account. The AMD Ryzen 7 7735H is certainly capable of more if only it weren't for the cooling limitations. This means the manufacturer only has the 35-watt performance hard limit which the SoC strictly adheres to. Basically, all of this is not a problem because under full load at almost 65 watts, our review sample is the most economical device compared to its peers - and by some margin. This makes the PSU seem somewhat oversized since it can supply a maximum of 100 watts. However, we shouldn't forget that a charging station is integrated into the casing. This can, among other things, charge smartphones at up to 10 watts. On top of that, additional mass storage drives can be installed which also have to be supplied with power. For this reason, we welcome the decision to include a 100-watt PSU.

Verdict - A mini PC with a charging station
The Acemagic AM20 has taken a good approach in order to stand out from the crowd of mini PCs. Acemagic is currently one of the few manufacturers that provide the option of wirelessly charging a smartphone by placing it on top of the device. Therefore, combined with its size, the AM20 even has a unique selling point. As a limitation, however, you will have to make do with the low charging performance of only 10 watts.
The build quality is flawless, even though the use of metal has been largely avoided. Performance-wise, you get a solid SoC in the form of the AMD Ryzen 7 7735H. Although the SoC is part of the 7000 series, we are not dealing with an SoC with Zen 4 computational cores but more a Zen 3-based processor. Nevertheless, the AMD Ryzen 7 7735H offers solid performance. The big benefit of this AMD SoC can be seen in the area of 3D performance. The AMD Radeon 680M is clearly superior to Intel, even making small gaming sessions possible with the Acemagic AM20.
The Acemagic AM20 is both a powerful and economical mini PC and, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, multi-threading tasks are also no problem.
It's worth highlighting the good interface selection with two network ports as well as the Thunderbolt port. This allows the device to be expanded sensibly as even external graphics cards can be used. When it comes to the choice of WiFi module, we would have preferred a more modern one. The device's noise levels under load turn out to be a disadvantage. Due to its small form factor, Acemagic doesn't have a great deal of room for other components so a compromise has had to be made in this area.
Price and availability
Der Acemagic AM20 can be ordered directly via the manufacturer's online store with an asking price of 569 US dollars. However, this offer only applies to the USA and UK. Currently, the company doesn't have plans to cover the German-speaking region.
