AMD made a little box to try to one-up Nvidia's dev kit. The company revealed its own mini PC called the Ryzen AI Halo, designed as a competitor to Nvidia's DGX Spark for AI development work. This compact system uses AMD's highest-end Ryzen AI MAX processors, codenamed Strix Halo. It will support the full ROCm software suite and come pre-optimized for popular AI tools and models. The mini PC is meant to accelerate AI workflows for developers.
Internally, it packs up to sixteen CPU cores and a powerful integrated GPU with forty compute units. Memory support goes up to 128 gigabytes of fast LPDDR5x. The system uses a dual-fan cooler to handle the thermal load from these chips. AMD did not announce a price, positioning it as a more affordable alternative to the competition. The Ryzen AI Halo mini PC is scheduled to launch for retail later this year.
