The Beelink EQi Wildcat Lake Core™ 3 304 is a mini PC built on Intel's 18A process node, with dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, 10G+2.5G dual LAN and up to 24 TOPS of on-device AI compute. The headline is connectivity and efficiency rather than core count. It suits power users, IT professionals and homelabbers.
Who it's for
- IT professionals who want a fast 10GbE bridge for a NAS or a segmented home or office network
- Homelab users who need an efficient always-on automation node
- Users who want a compact workstation driving external storage and multiple displays over Thunderbolt
- Anyone replacing a desktop for browsing, office work, media playback and everyday multitasking
Key features
- Intel® Core™ 3-304 “Wildcat Lake” processor: Built on Intel's 18A process, this 5-core / 5-thread chip boosts up to 4.3GHz. It trades core count for efficiency, with lower power draw and cooler, quieter running than older-generation chips.
- 24 TOPS on-device AI: The integrated Xe3-LPG graphics and NPU deliver up to 24 TOPS of local AI compute for lightweight tasks such as background blur, noise suppression and Windows Studio Effects without sending data to the cloud.
- Flexible high-speed memory: Choose onboard LPDDR5 5600MT/s, or an expandable DDR5 5600MT/s SO-DIMM slot supporting up to 64GB.
- Dual 40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 ports: Two Thunderbolt 4 interfaces support external GPU enclosures, high-speed storage, docking stations and additional displays with DisplayPort 1.4.
- 10G + 2.5G dual LAN: A 10 Gigabit Ethernet port alongside a 2.5 Gigabit port suits NAS backups, large file transfers and a segmented home or office network, with network isolation for added security.
- 512GB UFS 3.1 storage plus dual M.2 expansion: Built-in UFS 3.1 flash gives instant boot-up, and two M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slots (up to 4TB each) leave room to grow.
- Integrated 85W PSU and near-silent cooling: A single-cable power design and quiet operation around 32dB keep the machine unobtrusive on a desk or tucked away as a network endpoint.

Good to know
- Memory comes as 16GB onboard LPDDR5, or as 24GB or 32GB DDR5 SO-DIMM that can expand to 64GB.
- The 5-core/5-thread Core 3 304 will not out-benchmark a flagship H-series processor. It is aimed at efficient everyday use.
Choose the EQi if you want the 10GbE port and the dual Thunderbolt 4 ports in an efficient 126 x 126 x 44.2mm box. If you only need the smallest possible footprint, the EQ mini is the more compact option.
