Aokzoe Teases Powerful Mini-PC with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395
Just when one thought Aokzoe is solely about powerful gaming handhelds like the recent A1X, the company is now veering into uncharted waters: the realm of mini-PCs. And there, they've really gone all the way, hinting at a power-packed machine built on AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 395.
While the company is keeping the official name secret for now, intriguing brand names such as 'AI PC' and 'Hypermind Drive' have been reported to be on the machine's attractive, compact chassis. This new contender seems poised to rattle the scene and give their competition such as GMKtec's EVO-X2 , FEVM FA-EX9 & Beelink GTR9 Pro mini-PCs a run for their money.
What's Under the Hood of This Little Giant
Without any doubt, standing in all its glory would be the beastly AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395. This chip is a beast – 16 Zen 5 CPU cores at up to 5.1 GHz with 32 threads handling it all. In practical terms, the benchmarks suggest that this APU should give about 39% CPU performance gain over the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 equipped in Aokzoe's A1X handheld. That's pretty marvellous.
And the performance glory doesn't end there. The integrated Radeon 8060S graphics are poised to outperform the Radeon 890M graphics by more than a factor of two. Clearly, Aokzoe's first mini-PC-making venture could end up being far more than an office desktop performer.
A Glimpse at the Design and Features
So far, Aokzoe has only hinted that this appealing mini-PC is "coming soon", but the pictures hint at some clever design decisions. We can see a dedicated performance button, which is always a nice touch for enthusiasts. Three USB ports, a standard 3.5mm audio interface, and even a full-sized SD card reader can be comfortably spotted on the front panel-a feature that is often overlooked in small devices.
All details are yet to come, but clearly, Aokzoe intends to make quite an impression in the mini-PC arena. With promises of top-tier AMD performance and an elegant appeal, this is truly one to keep an eye open for; more details should flare up in the weeks to follow.
