Message: [QUOTE="Bombastus, post: 91423, member: 2178"] MINISFORUM MS-S1 MAX-P495 packs 192 GB of unified memory for local AI. This Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 workstation assigns up to 160 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 to integrated Radeon 8065S graphics, enabling models that exceed typical discrete GPU VRAM limits. Manufacturer tests claim two units run Qwen3.5 397B at 16 tokens per second while four systems handled DeepSeek-R1 671B Q4_0. Real-world speeds depend heavily on quantization, context length, and cluster interconnect configurations. Configurable TDP spans 60W to 120W with 160W peak using copper base cooling and dual turbine fans. Noise ranges from 32 dBA idle to 48 dB under load, measured at 50cm distance during Performance mode operation. Dual 10GbE, Wi-Fi 7, USB4 v2 ports, and PCIe x16 slot (electrically x4) provide extensive connectivity. Pricing starts with a "$7" placeholder, while the 2.8kg chassis supports desktop or 2U rack deployment. [/QUOTE]
