If you have been putting off getting a gaming mini PC from ROG because of Intel (we feel you), then this may come as good news. ASUS has recently broken the Intel curse with the reveal of the ROG GR70 Gaming Mini PC—the brand’s first gaming mini PC powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 CPU.
And what a tiny powerhouse it is. This sub-three-liter machine has the kind of specs that make desktop towers nervous. At its heart beats the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D CPU built on Zen 5 architecture, packing 16 cores and 32 threads. It even flexes AMD’s 3D V-Cache tech for more performance where it counts—like when you’re running high-frame shooters or pretending your spreadsheet app needs all that horsepower.
Backing it up is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 or 5060 Laptop GPU, meaning this palm-sized beast can throw out frames smoother than your neighbor’s full-size rig. Pair that with WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and ROG QuietFlow triple-fan cooling, and you’ve got yourself a serious gaming machine that barely makes a sound while absolutely cooking pixels.
There’s support for up to 96 GB of DDR5 RAM, and the DIY-friendly design means you can actually open it without voiding your warranty or your patience. Eight USB ports, dual HDMI 2.1 outputs, DisplayPort 2.1, and a 2.5G LAN port round things out—because even small boxes need big connectivity.
The ROG GR70 Gaming Mini PC weighs just 2.73 kg and measures 282.4 x 187.7 x 56.5 mm. It’s portable, powerful, and somehow stylish enough to sit next to your RGB shrine without embarrassment.
As for the price, it’s to be announced, but rest assured—it won’t be small. Anyhoo, if you are interested, you may learn more about this mini gaming rig HERE.
