Title: A few months ago, I ordered a Minisforum UM690 for work.<p>For less than 500 bucks, this little beast is equipped with the incredibly powerful 8 cores &#x2F; 16 threads Ryzen 9 6900HX (4.9GHz) and an integrated RDN2 680M graphics card (the single thread performance of this mobile CPU is just 10% lower than my home 5800X desktop PC).<p>I do some light gaming on my lunch break, and I was pretty impressed by the gaming performance of the 680M.<p>Because of budget constraints at the time of ordering, I could only afford a single stick of Gskill - RipJaws  16 Go DDR5 4800 MHz CL34.<p>I made a few benchmarks on multiple games, but most games I play do not come with a proper benchmark loop, so I used Unigine Superposition Benchmark to make a proper benchmark.<p>Single 16 GB stick, 1080p, medium settings: 3022 (18.85 min fps, 22.61 avg fps, 31.85 max fps)<p>Those results were good for an IGPU, but I saw a few articles saying that having two sticks instead of one could improve performance (never backed up with benchmarks or hard numbers).<p>So I bought another stick. Here are the results with two sticks:<p>Dual 16 GB sticks, 1080p, medium settings: 4969 (31.66 min fps, 37.17 avg fps, 48.96 max fps)<p>Yep, this is a whopping +65% with two sticks!<p>So, if you use a CPU with an integrated graphics card, you should use 2 sticks!
