AOOSTAR packs 9955HX3D into Mini-ITX, skips the socket drama

A company stuffed a laptop chip with extra cache onto a tiny desktop board. AOOSTAR revealed a Mini-ITX motherboard featuring the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D mobile processor. This sixteen-core chip includes 3D V-Cache technology with a total of 144 megabytes. It has a configurable TDP up to 135 watts and a maximum boost clock of 5.4 gigahertz.

The board itself supports up to 128 gigabytes of DDR5 memory. It provides a single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for a graphics card and two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots for storage. Input output includes dual ten-gigabit Ethernet ports and multiple USB connections. The company claims gaming performance leads against a competing Intel Core Ultra chip by up to forty-four percent in some titles.

Estimated pricing for the complete board and processor combo is around five hundred dollars. This positions it as a potentially cheaper alternative to buying a separate desktop X3D chip and Mini-ITX motherboard. The mobile processor's efficiency could benefit compact gaming builds.
