MINISFORUM MS-02 Ultra Wins CES 2026 Innovation Award
The company MINISFORUM has announced that its flagship Mini Workstation MS-02 Ultra received a CES 2026 Innovation Award in the Computer Hardware & Components category for the recognition of the device to offer enterprise-grade performance and significant expandability within a compact 4.8-liter chassis.
MS-02 Ultra Key Features
The MS-02 Ultra is designed for creative, engineering, and AI applications with demanding specifications that emphasize performance, scalability, and reliability.
AI-Accelerated Performance
In essence, the MS-02 Ultra is empowered by the Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285HX processor, which comes with 24 cores (8 Performance-cores and 16 Efficient-cores) and houses an integrated 13 TOPS NPU (Neural Processing Unit). This is said to boost AI workload, work on media encoding, and effectively engage in multitasking.
High-Performance and Power Efficient
- TDP Support: The system supports a CPU with up to 140W TDP and a discrete GPU up to 140W, for a combined system TDP of 240W.
- Power Supply: The system features a built-in 350W PSU for keeping the stable performance during extreme load conditions.
Scalability and Enterprise-Grade Connectivity
- Memory: Supports up to 256 GB of DDR5 ECC memory for additional stability and data integrity.
- Expansion: The PCIe slots are opened for adding GPUs, storage drives, and additional peripheral devices.
- Networking: Dual 25GbE ports, multi-tier LAN (10Gb + 2.5Gb), and Wi-Fi 7 are provided to cover all high-speed connectivity needs.
Reliability in Mission Critical Tasks
Designed to provide continuous and secure operation with a range of enterprise-oriented features:
- Data Protection: Built on RAID 0/1/5/10 architecture for both high throughput and data redundancy.
- Remote Management: Integration of Intel® vPro® technology enables secure remote management, which is critical in enterprise and industrial settings.
A Milestone Toward Compact Computing
"Winning the CES Innovation Award is a milestone for MINISFORUM," stated its Chairman, Roy Jiang. "This validates our commitment to pushing the boundaries of Mini computing by merging workstation power, enterprise stability, and user-friendly design into one compact platform."
The MS-02 Ultra indeed speaks for many, from content creators, small companies, engineers to tech enthusiasts, and prove that compact systems can provide ultimate performance and expandability without compromise.
Availability
The MINISFORUM MS-02 Ultra will be on sale from November 20.
