Minisforum launched the MS-S1 Max Mini AI Workstation, powered by the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor with 16 Zen 5 cores. The compact system delivers 160W peak performance within a 3.2-liter chassis that supports 2U rack mounting. A built-in 320W power supply ensures adequate energy distribution for demanding workloads. The workstation features integrated Radeon 8060S graphics alongside a full PCIe x16 slot for dedicated graphics cards. Tool-free slide-out access simplifies hardware maintenance and upgrades.
The device represents the first mini PC to incorporate USB4 Version 2 connectivity, enabling 80 Gbps data transfer rates. This enhanced bandwidth supports uncompressed high-resolution displays and external GPU solutions. The onboard NPU provides 50 TOPS of dedicated AI processing power, with total system AI performance reaching 126 TOPS. Large language models up to 109 billion parameters operate effectively on the platform. Dual-fan cooling with six heat pipes maintains optimal operating temperatures during intensive tasks.
