SolidRun launches Bedrock R7000, Ryzen 7 7840U mini computer with passive cooling

SolidRun, a producer of industrial computers, IoT devices, ARM servers, and other embedded edge computing devices, recently unveiled its Bedrock R7000 series, a passively cooled mini-computer based on the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U/7840HS processors, according to Liliputing.

The principal target audience of this mini-computer is corporate and other B2B users, hence, its extensibility is outstanding. It comes equipped with two SODIMM slots supporting up to 64GB dual-channel DDR5 memory; additionally, it features up to three M.2 2280 slots with PCIe 4 interfaces for SSD installation or the Halio-8 AI accelerator. On the networking front, the Bedrock R7000 includes two 2.5G Ethernet ports, an AX210 WiFi 6E wireless card, and an optional Quectel 4G or 5G module. It also possesses two miniDP ports, one HDMI, and one DP, supporting quad display output. This device also has an ample supply of USB Type-A ports, tallying up to four.

At the core, the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U/7840HS processors, a flagship Zen 4 mobile processor, provide robust performance. The integrated Radeon 780M graphics card with 12 compute units offers decent graphics capabilities. However, with the Ryzen 7 7840U having a TDP of 28W, and the 7840HS slightly higher at 35-54W, SolidRun has crafted a unique passive cooling solution for the Bedrock R7000, featuring liquid metal thermal conduction and 360-degree stacked heat pipes. According to SolidRun, this cooling solution can support up to 60W, tripling the performance of conventional passive cooling systems. Furthermore, they assert that this mini-computer can operate efficiently in environments ranging from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius.
