After AMD's big news about new gear mates, both CORSAIR and the China maker SIXUNITED have shown their new AI small PCs. These units use AMD's strong Ryzen Strix Halo APUs and they both have the same body shape, hinting they got the case from the same place.
CORSAIR AI Workstation 300
CORSAIR just put out its first AI Workstation PC, named AI Workstation 300. This small PC uses the strong power of AMD's new Zen 5-based APUs. Main parts are:
-
CPU Choices:

SIXUNITED XB35-H02/03-BQ
SIXUNITED's model, the XB35, also uses the same case as CORSAIR but has different setup options. It can pick a card made just for graphics.
-
