This is it, folks. The dawn of the mini-PC era, where compact powerhouses like Minisforum’s new EliteMini AI370 are poised to make tower PCs a relic of the past, much like tower PCs did to the old horizontal case. Mini-PCs were once just for productivity, but today, they’re evolving into machines that can run triple-A games, handle 3D rendering, and now, thanks to Minisforum, bring AI into the mix (though it is not its first AI Mini PC).
Billed as the next-gen AMD Strix Point AI Mini-PC, at the heart of the EliteMini AI370 is the mighty AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor. With 12 cores and 24 threads, it packs the muscle to handle intense gaming and creative applications while delivering 60% more NPU power for tasks like audio and video encoding.
Thanks to AMD’s XDNA2 architecture, the AI370’s Neural Processing Unit (NPU) reaches a leading 50 AI TOPS performance, boasting 2x better power efficiency and a massive 5x AI performance boost. This means everything from Adobe Premiere’s speech-to-text to Amuse AI’s creative filters is lightning-fast and fluid.
Built for gaming and more, the AI370 sports Radeon 890M integrated graphics, delivering over 60 FPS with a 30% performance boost for a smooth, immersive experience. And with a speedy 32GB of 7500 MHz memory, it’s ready for heavy multitasking. The blazing-fast NVMe SSD, with up to 4TB of PCIe storage, ensures apps and games launch instantly, bringing speed and storage into a sleek 5-inch design that fits wherever you need it.
The EliteMini AI370 is available now at an introductory price of US$1,099, with its regular price set at US$1,399.
