Minisforum has two new tiny powerhouses for different teams. The AI X1 Pro 470 runs on AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 chip, packing twelve cores and a powerful NPU. This mini PC supports up to 128 gigabytes of DDR5 memory and three M.2 storage slots. The port selection is extensive, featuring dual 2.5 gigabit Ethernet, two USB4 connections, an OCuLink port for external graphics, and even a dedicated Copilot button. It includes unusual extras like integrated speakers and a fingerprint sensor.
Their other model is an updated MS 02, now with Intel's Core Ultra 200HX refresh processors. The top configuration uses the Core Ultra 9 295HX with 24 cores. It supports a massive 256 gigabytes of RAM and up to 16 terabytes of storage across two drives. Cooling relies on a six-heatpipe design with phase change material. The rear panel offers serious connectivity, including a 10-gigabit Ethernet port, multiple USB4 ports with high bandwidth, and three PCIe slots for expansion cards. This model is heavier and includes an internal 350-watt power supply. Pricing for the Intel system is expected to be around 1500 dollars.
