The flagship Ryzen 9 9955HX is a Zen 5 processor with 16 cores, 32 threads, 64MB of L3 cache, a maximum boost clock of 5.4 GHz, and a 100W turbo TDP; the Ryzen 9 7945HX offers the same core count and boost clock on the Zen 4 architecture. What defines the MS-A2 is the combination of features it fits into a 1.78-litre chassis: two 10Gbps SFP+ ports, two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports, three NVMe storage positions with U.2 enterprise SSD support, and a physical PCIe x16 slot with bandwidth splitting. At 196 × 189 × 48 mm and 1.4 kg, with a lightweight metal structure and non-slip base pads, it delivers desktop-class core counts in a footprint that fits on a shelf or inside a cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MS-A2 supports up to 96GB of DDR5 memory across two SO-DIMM slots, running at DDR5-5600 with Ryzen 9000 series processors and DDR5-5200 with Ryzen 7000 series, delivering 89.6 GB\/s of memory bandwidth against 51.2 GB\/s for dual-channel DDR4-3200, with memory latency reduced to roughly 80 ns. Storage is arranged across three positions: one M.2 2280 slot that also accepts U.2 NVMe drives at PCIe 4.0 x4, supporting enterprise SSDs up to 15TB, and two M.2 2280 or 22110 slots supporting up to 4TB each. The two secondary slots default to PCIe 3.0 x4 and can be switched to PCIe 4.0 x4 in the BIOS, which is worth checking after installation since the default setting halves available bandwidth. Consumer configurations reach 12TB total at up to 7000 MB\/s per drive; adding a 15TB U.2 enterprise drive raises maximum capacity to 23TB. RAID 0 and RAID 1 are supported, with RAID 0 transfer speeds reaching 13,000 MB\/s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNetworking on the MS-A2 combines two 10Gbps SFP+ ports driven by an Intel X710 controller with two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports, one using a Realtek RTL8125 controller and one using an Intel I226-V controller. Four independent interfaces allow WAN, LAN, DMZ, and management segmentation on a single device, which is what makes the system practical as a firewall appliance or as a virtualization node with separate storage and client networks. Using two different 2.5GbE controllers also helps in environments where driver support differs between operating systems, since one interface is likely to work even if the other needs attention. The built-in expansion slot is physically PCIe x16 with PCIe 4.0 x8 bandwidth, and it supports splitting into two PCIe 4.0 x4 links, so a single slot can carry either one graphics or accelerator card or two separate expansion cards, such as an additional network adapter alongside a storage controller. Wireless is Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGraphics are handled by the integrated AMD Radeon 610M running at 2200 MHz, which is sufficient for multi-display administration, console work, and general desktop use while leaving heavier graphics tasks to a card installed in the PCIe slot. Buyers should note that the 610M is a basic integrated GPU rather than a Radeon 890M-class part, so this system is not intended for gaming or GPU-accelerated rendering without an add-in card. Rear connectivity includes two USB-C ports at USB 3.2 Gen2 speeds with DisplayPort 2.0 Alt Mode supporting up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 144Hz, one HDMI 2.1 port supporting up to 8K at 60Hz, one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A port, and one USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A port. The front panel carries two USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, one USB 2.0 port, and a 3.5mm combo jack. Cooling uses a triple pure-copper heat pipe architecture, phase change material, and a turbine fan with aerodynamic vortex grooves that increases system airflow by 30 percent. Power comes from a 19V\/12.63A external adapter, and the system ships with Windows 11.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommon use cases for the MINISFORUM MS-A2 include Proxmox and VMware virtualization hosts where 16 cores and 96GB of DDR5 support more than 20 concurrent virtual machines, pfSense and OPNsense firewall appliances using the four segmented network interfaces, TrueNAS and ZFS storage nodes that pair a 15TB U.2 enterprise SSD with consumer NVMe drives, Kubernetes and LXC container labs needing high thread counts for workload density, software compilation and CI runners, and 10GbE workgroup file serving for video production. Buyers typically choose the MS-A2 over the Intel-based MS-01 when they want 32 threads instead of 20 and a splittable PCIe slot, and accept Radeon 610M graphics and Wi-Fi 6E in exchange. Buyers needing copper 10GBASE-T should note that the 10Gbps ports here are SFP+ and require a compatible transceiver module or DAC cable; the MS-03 and M2 Pro provide copper 10GbE on RJ45 instead. Buyers needing more than two memory slots should look at the MS-02 Ultra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"MINISFORUM US","offers":[{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 9 9955HX \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS) \/ US","offer_id":46589796385013,"sku":"MS-A200US","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 9 9955HX \/ 32GB RAM+1TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":47590282297589,"sku":"MS-A231US","price":1303.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 9 9955HX \/ 64GB RAM+1TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":46589796417781,"sku":"MS-A261US","price":1719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 9 9955HX \/ 64GB RAM+2TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":46894925873397,"sku":"MS-A262US","price":1839.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 9 9955HX \/ 96GB RAM+2TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":46843404943605,"sku":"MS-A292US","price":2079.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 9 8945HX \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS) \/ US","offer_id":47794645369077,"sku":"MS-A2-894500US","price":559.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 9 8945HX \/ 32GB RAM+1TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":47794645401845,"sku":"MS-A2-894531US","price":1119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 9 7945HX \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS) \/ US","offer_id":46594736324853,"sku":"MS-A2-7945-00US","price":559.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 9 7945HX \/ 32GB RAM+1TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":46594736357621,"sku":"MS-A2-7945-31US","price":959.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 7 7745HX \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS) \/ US","offer_id":47831495016693,"sku":"MS-A2-774500US","price":439.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 7 7745HX \/ 32GB RAM+1TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":47831495049461,"sku":"MS-A2-774531US","price":989.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1032\/5921\/files\/Compressed_MS-A2.png?v=1783865715"},{"product_id":"minisforum-ms-01-workstation","title":"MINISFORUM MS-01 Workstation","description":"","brand":"MINISFORUM US","offers":[{"title":"Intel® Core™ i9-13900H \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS) \/ US","offer_id":46713695011061,"sku":"MS01-I9300US","price":679.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intel® Core™ i9-13900H \/ 32GB RAM+1TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":46713695043829,"sku":"MS01-I9331US","price":1183.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intel® Core™ i9-12900H \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS) \/ US","offer_id":46713694945525,"sku":"MS01-I9200US","price":479.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Intel® Core™ i9-12900H \/ 32GB RAM+1TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":48447307972853,"sku":"MS01-I9231US","price":903.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Intel® Core™ i5-12600H \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS) \/ US","offer_id":46713694879989,"sku":"MS01-I5600US","price":455.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intel® Core™ i5-12600H \/ 32GB RAM+1TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":48447324520693,"sku":"MS01-I5631US","price":959.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intel® Core™ i9-13900HK \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS) \/ US","offer_id":48766368940277,"sku":"MS-01-S139K00US","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intel® Core™ i9-13900HK \/ 32GB RAM+1TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":48766368973045,"sku":"MS-01-S139K31US","price":1119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1032\/5921\/files\/Compressed_MS-01.png?v=1784442741"},{"product_id":"minisforum-n5-pro-ai-nas","title":"MINISFORUM  N5 Pro AI NAS","description":"","brand":"MINISFORUM US","offers":[{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX PRO 370 - N5 Pro \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD) + 128G OS Storage \/ US","offer_id":46765320077557,"sku":"N5PRO-37006US","price":899.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX PRO 370 - N5 Pro \/ 16G DDR5 + 128G OS Storage \/ US","offer_id":46765476282613,"sku":"N5PRO-37016US","price":1179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX PRO 370 - N5 Pro \/ 48G DDR5 ECC + 128G OS Storage \/ US","offer_id":46765320110325,"sku":"N5PRO-37046US","price":1829.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX PRO 370 - N5 Pro \/ 96G DDR5 ECC + 128G OS Storage \/ US","offer_id":46765320143093,"sku":"N5PRO-37096US","price":2199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1032\/5921\/files\/Compressed_N5_Pro_AI_NAS.png?v=1783865983"},{"product_id":"minisforum-ms-s1-max-mini-pc","title":"MINISFORUM MS-S1 MAX 128GB Max AI Compute Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MINISFORUM MS-S1 MAX is an AI workstation powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, a Strix Halo processor that integrates a 16-core, 32-thread Zen 5 CPU, RDNA 3.5 graphics, and a next-generation NPU on a single package. The CPU reaches a maximum clock of 5.1 GHz, while the AI engine delivers up to 50 TOPS from the NPU and up to 126 TOPS of total platform AI performance across CPU, GPU, and NPU combined. Graphics come from AMD Radeon 8060S with 40 GPU cores running at 2900 MHz. This combination is built specifically for running large language models locally rather than sending data to a cloud service. The MS-S1 MAX pairs that compute with up to 128GB of unified LPDDR5x memory, dual 10GbE networking, USB4 V2 at 80Gbps, and a full-length PCIe x16 slot, in a 2.8 kg aluminium chassis with a built-in 320W power supply carrying CCC, FCC, UL, CE, and UKCA certification. It is designed to work either as a desktop workstation or as a node in a rack-mounted AI cluster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MS-S1 MAX uses a unified memory architecture built on a 256-bit LPDDR5x bus running at up to 8000 MT\/s, with a maximum capacity of 128GB. Because the CPU and GPU share a single memory pool rather than copying data between system RAM and dedicated VRAM, the system avoids the fixed VRAM ceiling that limits conventional discrete graphics cards, which is what allows models far larger than a typical consumer GPU can hold to run locally. The trade-off is that memory is soldered rather than socketed, so capacity is fixed at purchase and buyers should size their configuration for the largest models they intend to run. For storage, the system provides two M.2 2280 NVMe slots: one at PCIe 4.0 x4 and one at PCIe 4.0 x1, each supporting drives up to 8TB, for 16TB of total capacity with RAID 0 and RAID 1 supported. A slide-out chassis with an integrated board tray gives direct access to the storage and internal components for upgrades and maintenance without full disassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MS-S1 MAX is designed to scale beyond a single unit, which is unusual for a desktop-class system. Two units can be clustered together, and in MINISFORUM testing a dual-unit cluster ran a 235B parameter model in Q4 quantization locally at an output speed of 10.87 tokens per second. The system also supports 2U rack deployment, where multiple units are cascaded into a distributed cluster for research teams or small studios. In MINISFORUM testing, a four-unit cluster ran the DeepSeek-R1 671B Q4 model, a 380GB workload in Q4_0 quantization, which is a model size normally associated with server-grade GPU deployments rather than compact workstations. A reserved cascade power-on header allows multiple units to be powered on and off together as a single managed group. Four switchable operating modes, Performance at 130W, Balanced at 95W, Quiet at 60W, and Rack, let the same hardware move between a quiet desk deployment and a sustained-load rack environment without hardware changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFront connectivity on the MS-S1 MAX includes two USB4 ports at 40Gbps with DisplayPort 2.0 Alt Mode and 15W Power Delivery output, one USB 3.2 Gen2 port at 10Gbps, a 3.5mm audio combo jack, and dual digital microphones with AI noise cancelling for voice commands and calls. The rear carries two USB4 V2 ports at 80Gbps, two USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, one HDMI 2.1 FRL output supporting 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz, and two 10GbE RJ45 ports using Realtek RTL8127 controllers. Because these are RJ45 rather than SFP+, they connect directly to a copper 10GbE switch with no transceiver required. Wireless is Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4. Cooling uses a pure copper heat spreader, a six heat-pipe array, phase change material in place of standard thermal paste, and dual turbine fans running at up to 3600 RPM, sustaining 130W under load with a 160W peak. The chassis measures 222.1 × 206.3 × 77.1 mm and weighs 2.8 kg, and supports both vertical desktop and horizontal rack orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommon use cases for the MINISFORUM MS-S1 MAX include running large language models locally through llama.cpp, Ollama, or LM Studio at parameter counts that exceed what a single consumer GPU can hold in VRAM, building and testing AI applications with low-latency on-device inference, multimodal model deployment, AI image and video generation, video editing and 3D rendering using the 128GB unified memory pool, and small-scale AI clusters for research teams and studios using 2U rack deployment. The full-length PCIe x16 slot running at PCIe 4.0 x4 adds industry-specific expansion such as capture cards, storage controllers, or specialized network adapters. Buyers typically choose the MS-S1 MAX over a discrete-GPU desktop when model size matters more than raw GPU throughput, since 128GB of unified memory holds models that would not fit in the VRAM of a comparably priced graphics card. Buyers who need upgradeable memory after purchase, or more than two NVMe slots, should consider the AI X1 Pro-370 instead, which uses replaceable SO-DIMM modules and three M.2 slots at lower memory bandwidth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MINISFORUM US","offers":[{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 \/ 128GB RAM + 2TB SSD | Estimated shipping time: Mid October \/ US","offer_id":47071388139765,"sku":"MS-S1-MAX12US","price":3879.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 \/ 128GB RAM + 4TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":48821165949173,"sku":"MS-S1-MAX14US","price":4159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1032\/5921\/files\/Compressed_MS-S1_Max.png?v=1784442536"},{"product_id":"minisforum-ms-02-ultra-workstation","title":"MINISFORUM MS-02 Ultra","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MINISFORUM MS-02 Ultra is a mini workstation available with the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX, Core Ultra 9 275HX, or Core Ultra 5 235HX. The flagship Core Ultra 9 285HX provides 24 cores and 24 threads with a maximum clock of 5.5 GHz, while the Core Ultra 5 235HX offers 14 cores and 14 threads. What sets the MS-02 Ultra apart from every other system in the MINISFORUM lineup is expansion capacity: four DDR5 SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 256GB with ECC on the 285HX, three PCIe slots including a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot that accepts a dual-slot graphics card, and, on the 285HX configuration, two 25 Gigabit SFP+ ports. All of this fits in a 4.8-litre aluminium chassis with a slide-out design and an integrated 350W power supply, and the system ships with Windows 11 Pro. It is the closest thing in the lineup to a rack server in desktop form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MS-02 Ultra uses four DDR5 SO-DIMM slots rather than the two found in most mini workstations, supporting up to 256GB of memory, with ECC supported on the Core Ultra 9 285HX configuration. ECC across 256GB is what makes this system viable as a ZFS storage host or as a virtualization node running memory-sensitive workloads, roles normally reserved for rack servers where silent memory corruption would propagate into a storage array. Storage depends on the processor chosen: the 285HX configuration provides four M.2 2280 slots at PCIe 4.0 x4 supporting up to 8TB each, for 32TB of NVMe capacity, while the 275HX, 235HX, and 285HX-NS configurations provide two such slots for 16TB. Buyers sizing a storage array should confirm the slot count matches the CPU option they select, since it differs across SKUs of the same model name and is easy to overlook when comparing configurations on price alone. The 285HX is the only option that combines ECC support with the full four-slot NVMe layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MS-02 Ultra carries three PCIe slots, which no other system in this size class offers. A PCIe 5.0 x16 slot supports a dual-slot graphics card with bifurcation, a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot can be configured as x4 plus x4 plus x4, and a third PCIe 4.0 x4 slot is available alongside them. This allows a discrete GPU, a storage controller, and an additional network card to coexist in one chassis, an arrangement that would otherwise require a full tower or a rack server. Networking includes one 10 Gigabit RJ45 port using a Realtek RTL8127 controller and one 2.5 Gigabit RJ45 port using an Intel I226-LM controller with vPro enabled on the 285HX for BIOS-level remote management. The 285HX configuration adds two 25 Gigabit SFP+ ports, a full tier above the 10GbE SFP+ found on the MS-01 and MS-A2. Wireless is Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4 via an Intel BE200 module.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisplay and peripheral connectivity includes one HDMI 2.1 FRL port supporting 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz, one USB4 port with DisplayPort Alt Mode, two USB4 V2 ports with DisplayPort Alt Mode, three USB-A ports at 10Gbps, and a 3.5mm audio jack. On the 285HX-NS configuration the rear carries two USB4 V2 Type-C ports at 80Gbps with DisplayPort 2.0 Alt Mode and 15W Power Delivery. Graphics are handled by integrated Intel Graphics, with the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot available for a discrete card when GPU performance is needed. The NPU is rated at up to 13 TOPS through Intel AI Boost, well below the 40 TOPS Copilot+ threshold, so this system is built around CPU, memory, and expansion capacity rather than on-device AI inference, and buyers should not select it for local model work. Cooling uses six heat pipes with dual fans, sustaining 100W with a 140W turbo. MINISFORUM reports a 36 dB idle noise level and a 46 dB noise level at full load, measured from 50 cm in its laboratory environment.

Buyers typically choose the MS-02 Ultra over the MS-01 or MS-A2 when they need more than two memory slots, more than one PCIe slot, or networking above 10 Gigabit, and accept a 4.8-litre chassis instead of a 1.78-litre one in exchange. Buyers whose priority is on-device AI inference should look at the AI X1 Pro-470 or MS-S1 MAX instead, since the MS-02 Ultra's 13 TOPS NPU is not built for that role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"MINISFORUM US","offers":[{"title":"Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285HX \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS) \/ US","offer_id":47295031312629,"sku":"MS-02U-28500US","price":1159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285HX \/ 32GB RAM+1TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":47295024562421,"sku":"MS-02U-28531US","price":1679.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285HX \/ 192GB ECC + 2TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":47295031345397,"sku":"MS-02U-2851E2US","price":3899.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 275HX \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS) \/ US","offer_id":47323082359029,"sku":"MS-02U-27500US","price":1049.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 275HX \/ 32GB RAM+1TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":47323082391797,"sku":"MS-02U-27531US","price":1549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 235HX \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS) \/ US","offer_id":47531610472693,"sku":"MS-02U-23500US","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 235HX \/ 32GB RAM+1TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":48059965440245,"sku":"MS-02U-23531US","price":1119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285HX-NS \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS) \/ US","offer_id":48419284353269,"sku":"MS-02U-285NS00US","price":1039.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285HX-NS \/ 32GB RAM+1TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":48419284386037,"sku":"MS-02U-285NS31US","price":1519.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1032\/5921\/files\/Compressed_MS-02_Ultra.png?v=1783865841"},{"product_id":"minisforum-n5-air-ai-nas","title":"MINISFORUM N5 AIR AI NAS","description":"","brand":"MINISFORUM US","offers":[{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 7 255 \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD)+64GB OS Storage \/ US","offer_id":47341497647349,"sku":"N5A-H25506US","price":535.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 7 255 \/ 16GB DDR5+64GB OS Storage \/ US","offer_id":47341499220213,"sku":"N5A-H25516US","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1032\/5921\/files\/Compressed_N5_AIR_AI_NAS.png?v=1788330497"},{"product_id":"minisforum-bd895i-se-motherboard","title":"MINISFORUM BD895i SE \/ BD775i SE Motherboard","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"shogun-root\" data-shogun-id=\"651291860c814300f2116e86\" data-shogun-site-id=\"154729a3-cf6b-4f40-8684-680bb57daa71\" data-shogun-page-id=\"651291860c814300f2116e86\" data-shogun-page-version-id=\"6800bf5d93f5df3d25ee6eb9\" data-shogun-platform-type=\"shopify\" data-shogun-variant-id=\"6800bf5d93f5df3d25ee7856\" data-shogun-page-type=\"product\" data-shogun-power-up-type=\"\" data-shogun-power-up-id=\"\" data-region=\"main\"\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-bebb9de8-0267-4ecc-8916-de4bde16cad5\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MINISFORUM US","offers":[{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 9 8945HX(BD895i SE) \/ Mini-ITX (170х170х1.6mm)","offer_id":47407297003765,"sku":"BD895iSE","price":419.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 7 7745HX(BD775i SE) \/ Mini-ITX (170х170х1.6mm)","offer_id":47812059922677,"sku":"BD775iSE","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1032\/5921\/files\/DRFXL_7.png?v=1783865700"},{"product_id":"minisforum-n5-max-ai-nas","title":"MINISFORUM N5 MAX AI NAS","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MINISFORUM N5 MAX is a 10-bay AI NAS powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, a Strix Halo processor with 16 cores, 32 threads, a maximum clock of 5.1 GHz, and a 70W to 90W TDP range. Paired with AMD Radeon 8060S graphics, the platform delivers up to 126 TOPS of local AI performance. This is not a conventional NAS built around a low-power file-serving processor; the N5 MAX is designed to run 120B-class open models on the same box that stores the data, which removes the usual split between a storage appliance and a separate compute machine. It combines five hot-swap SATA bays and five M.2 NVMe slots for up to 200TB of hybrid storage, up to 128GB of unified LPDDR5x memory, dual 10GbE networking, and USB4 V2 at 80Gbps. MinisCloud OS ships preinstalled, and the chassis measures 199 × 202.4 × 252.3 mm at 5.8 kg with a built-in 250W power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe N5 MAX uses a two-tier storage design that separates bulk capacity from working speed. Five 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA 3.0 bays accept drives up to 32TB each for 160TB of bulk capacity, intended for archives, project libraries, media assets, and long-term retention. Five M.2 NVMe slots add up to 40TB of flash: one M.2 2280 slot at PCIe 4.0 x4 supporting up to 8TB, one M.2 2230 or 2280 slot at PCIe 4.0 x1 supporting up to 8TB, and three M.2 2280 slots at PCIe 4.0 x1 supporting up to 8TB each. Total system capacity reaches 200TB. The NVMe tier is intended for cache, hot data, model files, and active project work, accelerating an HDD array that would otherwise be bound by spinning-disk seek times. Supported RAID levels are RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAIDZ1, and RAID 6 and RAIDZ2, and mixed strategies can place hot data on flash while cold backups sit on the SATA tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMemory is onboard LPDDR5x unified memory with a maximum capacity of 128GB on a 256-bit bus. The default operating speed is 8000 MT\/s, with 8533 MT\/s available as a user-configurable overclocking option that MINISFORUM does not guarantee for sustained operation. In MINISFORUM benchmark testing using llama.cpp llama-bench with 99 GPU layers and Flash Attention enabled, the 128GB configuration produced the following results: gpt-oss-120b in MXFP4 quantization at 59.03GB reached 59.30 tokens per second text generation and 668.79 tokens per second prompt processing; Qwen3.5-122B-A10B in Q4_K_M at 69.11GB reached 31.76 tokens per second generation and 317.58 prompt processing; gpt-oss-20b in MXFP4 at 11.28GB reached 83.09 tokens per second; and Gemma 4 26B-A4B in Q4_K_M at 15.64GB reached 70.33 tokens per second. PP512 measures prompt-processing throughput and TG128 measures text-generation speed. Actual results vary with model version, quantization, context length, system configuration, and software environment, and the figures above were produced on the 128GB configuration rather than the 64GB one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNetworking consists of two 10GbE RJ45 ports using Realtek RTL8127 controllers, which connect to a copper 10GbE switch without transceivers. The rear panel adds two USB4 V2 ports at 80Gbps with DisplayPort 2.0 Alt Mode and 15W Power Delivery, one USB 3.2 Gen2 port, one USB 3.2 Gen1 port, one USB 2.0 port, and one HDMI 2.1 FRL output supporting 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 144Hz. The front panel carries one USB4 port at 40Gbps and one USB 3.2 Gen2 port, plus a status LED, two NIC LEDs, and five per-drive LEDs. An internal USB 3.2 Gen2 header allows a boot device to be installed without consuming an external port or an M.2 slot. The system ships with MinisCloud OS, which includes ZFS snapshots, LZ4 compression with single-core speeds above 500 MB\/s, multi-user isolation, per-account Docker container isolation, and the MinisOpenClaw local AI agent running Qwen3.6-35B by default; Windows 11 and Linux are also supported. A slide-out motherboard bay simplifies servicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommon use cases for the MINISFORUM N5 MAX include running 120B-class open models such as gpt-oss-120b and Qwen3.5-122B-A10B entirely on-device, private AI assistants and agent workflows through MinisOpenClaw with no cloud API costs and no data leaving the machine, AI semantic search across a personal or team photo and document library through MinisPhotos, ZFS storage arrays with snapshot-based recovery for creative studios and small teams, media servers and archives where a 160TB HDD tier is accelerated by a 40TB NVMe cache tier, Docker-based self-hosted services with per-account container isolation, and 10GbE workgroup file serving for video and photo production. Buyers typically choose the N5 MAX over a conventional NAS when local AI inference and large-capacity storage need to live in the same box, and over a separate workstation-plus-NAS pairing when a single 5.8 kg chassis is preferable to maintaining two devices. Buyers who need only file serving without local AI will find the N5 Pro or N5 AIR a better value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"MINISFORUM US","offers":[{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 \/ 64GB LPDDR5x + 128GB OS Storage \/ US","offer_id":48048165290229,"sku":"N5-MAX-39561US","price":2399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 \/ 128GB LPDDR5x + 128GB OS Storage \/ US","offer_id":48245377368309,"sku":"N5-MAX-39511US","price":3599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1032\/5921\/files\/N5_MAX_1.png?v=1783865345"},{"product_id":"minisforum-ms-s1-max-64gb","title":"MINISFORUM MS-S1 MAX 64GB Local AI Pilot Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MINISFORUM MS-S1 MAX is an AI workstation powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, a Strix Halo processor that integrates a 16-core, 32-thread Zen 5 CPU, RDNA 3.5 graphics, and a next-generation NPU on a single package. The CPU reaches a maximum clock of 5.1 GHz, while the AI engine delivers up to 50 TOPS from the NPU and up to 126 TOPS of total platform AI performance across CPU, GPU, and NPU combined. Graphics come from AMD Radeon 8060S with 40 GPU cores running at 2900 MHz. This combination is built specifically for running large language models locally rather than sending data to a cloud service. The MS-S1 MAX pairs that compute with up to 128GB of unified LPDDR5x memory, dual 10GbE networking, USB4 V2 at 80Gbps, and a full-length PCIe x16 slot, in a 2.8 kg aluminium chassis with a built-in 320W power supply carrying CCC, FCC, UL, CE, and UKCA certification. It is designed to work either as a desktop workstation or as a node in a rack-mounted AI cluster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MS-S1 MAX uses a unified memory architecture built on a 256-bit LPDDR5x bus running at up to 8000 MT\/s, with a maximum capacity of 128GB. Because the CPU and GPU share a single memory pool rather than copying data between system RAM and dedicated VRAM, the system avoids the fixed VRAM ceiling that limits conventional discrete graphics cards, which is what allows models far larger than a typical consumer GPU can hold to run locally. The trade-off is that memory is soldered rather than socketed, so capacity is fixed at purchase and buyers should size their configuration for the largest models they intend to run. For storage, the system provides two M.2 2280 NVMe slots: one at PCIe 4.0 x4 and one at PCIe 4.0 x1, each supporting drives up to 8TB, for 16TB of total capacity with RAID 0 and RAID 1 supported. A slide-out chassis with an integrated board tray gives direct access to the storage and internal components for upgrades and maintenance without full disassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MS-S1 MAX is designed to scale beyond a single unit, which is unusual for a desktop-class system. Two units can be clustered together, and in MINISFORUM testing a dual-unit cluster ran a 235B parameter model in Q4 quantization locally at an output speed of 10.87 tokens per second. The system also supports 2U rack deployment, where multiple units are cascaded into a distributed cluster for research teams or small studios. In MINISFORUM testing, a four-unit cluster ran the DeepSeek-R1 671B Q4 model, a 380GB workload in Q4_0 quantization, which is a model size normally associated with server-grade GPU deployments rather than compact workstations. A reserved cascade power-on header allows multiple units to be powered on and off together as a single managed group. Four switchable operating modes, Performance at 130W, Balanced at 95W, Quiet at 60W, and Rack, let the same hardware move between a quiet desk deployment and a sustained-load rack environment without hardware changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFront connectivity on the MS-S1 MAX includes two USB4 ports at 40Gbps with DisplayPort 2.0 Alt Mode and 15W Power Delivery output, one USB 3.2 Gen2 port at 10Gbps, a 3.5mm audio combo jack, and dual digital microphones with AI noise cancelling for voice commands and calls. The rear carries two USB4 V2 ports at 80Gbps, two USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, one HDMI 2.1 FRL output supporting 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz, and two 10GbE RJ45 ports using Realtek RTL8127 controllers. Because these are RJ45 rather than SFP+, they connect directly to a copper 10GbE switch with no transceiver required. Wireless is Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4. Cooling uses a pure copper heat spreader, a six heat-pipe array, phase change material in place of standard thermal paste, and dual turbine fans running at up to 3600 RPM, sustaining 130W under load with a 160W peak. The chassis measures 222.1 × 206.3 × 77.1 mm and weighs 2.8 kg, and supports both vertical desktop and horizontal rack orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommon use cases for the MINISFORUM MS-S1 MAX include running large language models locally through llama.cpp, Ollama, or LM Studio at parameter counts that exceed what a single consumer GPU can hold in VRAM, building and testing AI applications with low-latency on-device inference, multimodal model deployment, AI image and video generation, video editing and 3D rendering using the 128GB unified memory pool, and small-scale AI clusters for research teams and studios using 2U rack deployment. The full-length PCIe x16 slot running at PCIe 4.0 x4 adds industry-specific expansion such as capture cards, storage controllers, or specialized network adapters. Buyers typically choose the MS-S1 MAX over a discrete-GPU desktop when model size matters more than raw GPU throughput, since 128GB of unified memory holds models that would not fit in the VRAM of a comparably priced graphics card. Buyers who need upgradeable memory after purchase, or more than two NVMe slots, should consider the AI X1 Pro-370 instead, which uses replaceable SO-DIMM modules and three M.2 slots at lower memory bandwidth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MINISFORUM US","offers":[{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 \/ 64GB RAM + 2TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":48321957101813,"sku":"MS-S1-MAX62US","price":2599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1032\/5921\/files\/Compressed_MS-S1_Max.png?v=1784442536"},{"product_id":"minisforum-895d7-mini-pc","title":"MINISFORUM 895D7","description":"\u003cp\u003eMINISFORUM 895D7 Mini PC: AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX, AMD Radeon 610M\/AMD Radeon™ RX 9060 XT, DDR5, 2.5GbE, WiFi 7, and multiple USB ports for fast connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MINISFORUM US","offers":[{"title":"AMD Radeon™ 610M \/ AMD Ryzen™ 9 8945HX \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS)","offer_id":48331126997237,"sku":"895D700US","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AMD Radeon™ 610M \/ AMD Ryzen™ 9 8945HX \/ 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD","offer_id":48331127030005,"sku":"895D731US","price":1079.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 \/ AMD Ryzen™ 9 8945HX \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS)","offer_id":48788885111029,"sku":"895D7-50600US","price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 \/ AMD Ryzen™ 9 8945HX \/ 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD","offer_id":48788885143797,"sku":"895D7-50631US","price":1559.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AMD Radeon™ RX 9060 XT \/ AMD Ryzen™ 9 8945HX \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS)","offer_id":48545336426741,"sku":"895D7-90600US","price":1119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"AMD Radeon™ RX 9060 XT \/ AMD Ryzen™ 9 8945HX \/ 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD","offer_id":48545336459509,"sku":"895D7-90631US","price":1639.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1032\/5921\/files\/895D7-_-_-2_ab7b50e6-be51-4f15-adc8-de159aa86453.png?v=1784442512"},{"product_id":"minisforum-ms-03-workstation","title":"MINISFORUM MS-03","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MINISFORUM MS-03 is a mini workstation available in two configurations: the MS-03-S386H with an Intel Core Ultra 9 386H providing 16 cores and 16 threads at 1.6 to 4.9 GHz with PL1 at 70W and PL2 at 80W in Balance mode, and the MS-03-S336H with an Intel Core Ultra 5 336H providing 12 cores and 12 threads at 1.5 to 4.6 GHz at 65W. Both processors carry Intel vPro for BIOS-level remote management. The MS-03 combines four network interfaces including two 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports and one 10 Gigabit RJ45 port, PCIe 5.0 storage, a half-height PCIe expansion slot, and a 50 TOPS NPU on the 386H, in a 196 × 189 × 48 mm chassis weighing 1.4 kg. It is the first MINISFORUM workstation in this form factor to carry both copper and fibre 10 Gigabit networking on the same board, which removes the transceiver requirement that applies to the MS-01 and MS-A2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MS-03 uses two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 128GB of memory, with factory configurations at 32GB and 64GB and supported speeds of 5600, 6400, and 7200 MT\/s. Storage is where the MS-03 differs most from earlier models sharing this chassis: two of its M.2 slots run at PCIe 5.0 x4 rather than PCIe 4.0, supporting drives up to 8TB each, with one accepting 2280 drives and one accepting 2280 or 22110 lengths. A third M.2 2280 or 22110 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 x1, also supporting up to 8TB. U.2 enterprise SSDs up to 15TB are supported through an adapter. PCIe 5.0 doubles the per-drive bandwidth ceiling over PCIe 4.0, which matters for storage arrays, database workloads, and video ingest where a single NVMe drive would otherwise become the bottleneck before the network or the CPU does. The 22110 slot length also accommodates the longer enterprise drives that many datacentre NVMe models ship in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MS-03 carries four network interfaces: one 10 Gigabit RJ45 port using a Realtek RTL8127 controller, one 2.5 Gigabit RJ45 port using an Intel i226-LM controller with vPro support, and two 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports using an Intel X710 controller. Having both copper 10GBASE-T and SFP+ on the same system means it can connect directly to a copper 10GbE switch with no transceiver while still supporting fibre or DAC connections to a separate storage network, a combination the MS-01 and MS-A2 do not offer and which removes a common reason to add a PCIe network card. A half-height PCIe x16 slot with PCIe 4.0 x4 bandwidth accepts cards up to 170 mm long and 20 mm thick, leaving that slot free for a storage controller or accelerator instead. Wireless is Wi-Fi 7 via an Intel BE211 module with Bluetooth 6, and vPro on the 2.5GbE interface allows out-of-band management even when the operating system is unresponsive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGraphics on the MS-03-S386H run at 2.5 GHz and deliver 40 TOPS Int8, with a separate NPU rated at 50 TOPS Int8; the MS-03-S336H runs at 2.3 GHz with 37 TOPS on the GPU and 47 TOPS on the NPU. Both configurations exceed the 40 TOPS Copilot+ threshold on the NPU alone, which is unusual for a system in the homelab and networking category and means local AI inference can run alongside the machine's primary workload. The front panel carries one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A port, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, and a 3.5mm combo jack. The rear adds two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, two USB4 Type-C ports at 40Gbps with DisplayPort 2.1 Alt Mode, one HDMI 2.1 port at 4K 120Hz, and all four network ports. Cooling uses dual heat pipes, phase change material, and an 83 × 18 mm turbo fan running at up to 5100 RPM. Power comes from a 240W external adapter at 19V\/12.63A, and the system ships with Windows 11 Pro.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommon use cases for the MINISFORUM MS-03 include Proxmox and Linux virtualization nodes with vPro remote management, pfSense and OPNsense firewall appliances using four segmented network interfaces, TrueNAS and Ceph storage nodes where PCIe 5.0 NVMe and dual 10GbE SFP+ remove the usual bottlenecks, mixed-network deployments needing both copper 10GBASE-T and fibre on one device, Kubernetes lab clusters, Plex and Jellyfin media servers with hardware transcoding, and edge nodes running local AI inference on the 50 TOPS NPU alongside their primary workload. Buyers typically choose the MS-03 over the MS-01 for PCIe 5.0 storage, a copper 10GbE port in addition to the SFP+ pair, Wi-Fi 7, and a Copilot+ class NPU, accepting 16 threads against the MS-01's 20. Buyers needing more than two memory slots, ECC support, 25 Gigabit networking, or a full-length discrete GPU should look at the MS-02 Ultra instead, which trades this chassis size for far greater expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"MINISFORUM US","offers":[{"title":"Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 386H \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS) | Estimated shipping time: Late October \/ US","offer_id":48380311765237,"sku":"MS-03-38600US","price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 386H \/ 32GB RAM+1TB SSD | Estimated shipping time: Late October \/ US","offer_id":48457198764277,"sku":"MS-03-38631US","price":1519.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 386H \/ 64GB RAM+2TB SSD | Estimated shipping time: Late October \/ US","offer_id":48457198797045,"sku":"MS-03-38662US","price":2039.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 336H \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS) \/ US","offer_id":48457196175605,"sku":"MS-03-33600US","price":759.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 336H \/ 32GB RAM+1TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":48457198829813,"sku":"MS-03-33631US","price":1319.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 336H \/ 64GB RAM+2TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":48457198862581,"sku":"MS-03-33662US","price":1759.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1032\/5921\/files\/Compressed_MS-01.png?v=1784442741"},{"product_id":"minisforum-139d7-mini-pc","title":"MINISFORUM 139D7","description":"\u003cp\u003eMINISFORUM 139D7 Mini PC: Intel Core™ i9-13900HX, Intel® UHD Graphics for 13th Gen Intel® Processors\/AMD Radeon™ RX 9060 XT, DDR5, 2.5GbE, WiFi 7, and multiple USB ports for fast connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MINISFORUM US","offers":[{"title":"Intel® UHD Graphics for 13th Gen Intel® Processors \/ Intel® Core™ i9-13900HX \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS)","offer_id":48546550907125,"sku":"139D700US","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intel® UHD Graphics for 13th Gen Intel® Processors \/ Intel® Core™ i9-13900HX \/ 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD","offer_id":48546550939893,"sku":"139D731US","price":1079.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AMD Radeon™ RX 9060 XT \/ Intel® Core™ i9-13900HX \/ Barebone (No RAM \/ SSD \/ OS)","offer_id":48546550972661,"sku":"139D7-90600US","price":1079.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AMD Radeon™ RX 9060 XT \/ Intel® Core™ i9-13900HX \/ 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD","offer_id":48546551005429,"sku":"139D7-90631US","price":1599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1032\/5921\/files\/895D7-_-_-2_ab7b50e6-be51-4f15-adc8-de159aa86453.png?v=1784442512"},{"product_id":"minisforum-ai-nas-n5-air-7640","title":"MINISFORUM AI NAS N5 AIR-7640","description":"\u003cp\u003eMINISFORUM AI NAS N5 Air 7640: Ryzen 5 7640HS (6C\/12T, 5GHz), Radeon 760M, 5 HDD (150TB), 3 M.2 NVMe, 10GbE+5GbE LAN, HDMI\/USB4 8K, OCuLink, PCIe x16. 4L, 4kg.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MINISFORUM US","offers":[{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 5 7640HS \/ Barebone(No RAM \/ SSD)+64GB OS Storage | Estimated shipping time: Late October \/ US","offer_id":48790276800757,"sku":"N5A-764006US","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ 5 7640HS \/ 16GB DDR5(4800Mhz)+64GB OS Storage | Estimated shipping time: Late October \/ US","offer_id":48790276833525,"sku":"N5A-764016US","price":679.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1032\/5921\/files\/Compressed_N5_AIR_AI_NAS.png?v=1788330497"},{"product_id":"minisforum-ms-s1-max-p495-ai-workstation","title":"MINISFORUM MS-S1 MAX-P495","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MINISFORUM MS-S1 MAX-P495 is an AI workstation built around the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, a Gorgon Halo processor combining a 16-core, 32-thread Zen 5 CPU with RDNA 3.5 graphics and a next-generation NPU on one package. The processor runs at a 3.1 GHz base frequency with a maximum turbo of 5.2 GHz, and the AI engine delivers up to 55 TOPS from the NPU and up to 131 TOPS of total platform AI performance. Graphics are handled by Radeon 8065S with 40 graphics cores running at 3000 MHz. Its defining specification is memory: up to 192GB of unified LPDDR5x, of which up to 160GB can be allocated as VRAM. That capacity is what separates the P495 from every other system in this class, because for local inference the size of model you can run is limited by available memory before it is limited by compute. The system ships in the same 222.1 × 206.3 × 77.1 mm, 2.8 kg chassis as the MS-S1 MAX, with a built-in 320W power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MS-S1 MAX-P495 uses a 256-bit LPDDR5x unified memory architecture with a maximum speed of 8533 MT\/s and a maximum capacity of 192GB, offered as a single 192GB SKU. A shared CPU and GPU memory pool eliminates the copy operations that separate-memory designs require, reducing data movement for large local models, long context windows, and complex datasets. The 160GB allocatable VRAM ceiling is the figure that matters most for model selection, since it determines the largest quantized model that fits entirely in graphics memory. Storage consists of two M.2 2280 NVMe slots, one at PCIe 4.0 x4 and one at PCIe 4.0 x1, each supporting drives up to 8TB for 16TB of total capacity, with RAID 0 and RAID 1 supported. Factory SSD configurations are available at 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB, as well as barebone for buyers supplying their own drives. A slide-out board tray provides direct access for storage servicing without dismantling the chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe larger memory pool changes what the P495 can run in a cluster configuration. In MINISFORUM testing, two 192GB units running as a compact cluster executed Qwen3.5-397B locally at 16 tokens per second, a model size that would otherwise require server-grade GPU hardware. The system supports 2U rack deployment, where multiple P495 units are cascaded into a distributed cluster for enterprises and research teams, and in testing a four-unit cluster ran the DeepSeek-R1 671B Q4 model at 380GB in Q4_0 quantization. Four switchable modes adapt the same hardware from a desk to a rack: Performance at 120W, Balanced at 95W, Quiet at 60W, and Rack. A reserved cascade power-on header allows multiple units to start and stop together as a single managed group, so a cluster does not need to be powered on unit by unit. Benchmarks published for the platform cover Cinebench R23 and 3DMark Time Spy alongside the model throughput figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRear connectivity includes two 10GbE RJ45 ports using Realtek RTL8127 controllers, two USB4 V2 ports at 80Gbps with DisplayPort 2.0 Alt Mode and 15W Power Delivery, two USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, and one HDMI 2.1 FRL output supporting 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz. The front panel carries two USB4 ports at 40Gbps, one USB 3.2 Gen2 port, a 3.5mm combo jack, and dual digital microphones. Wireless is Wi-Fi 7 via an MT7925 module with Bluetooth 5.4. Cooling uses a six heat-pipe radiator with phase change material and two 80 mm turbine fans running at up to 3600 RPM, sustaining 120W with a 160W peak. MINISFORUM publishes measured noise figures taken at 50 cm in an anechoic chamber: Quiet mode idles at 32 dBA and reaches 41.6 dB at full load, Balanced mode idles at 35 dB and reaches 42 dB, and Performance mode idles at 37 dB and reaches 48 dB. Published noise data at this level of detail is rare in this product category and is useful when the system will sit on a desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon use cases for the MINISFORUM MS-S1 MAX-P495 include running very large language models locally where 192GB of unified memory and 160GB of allocatable VRAM accommodate models that will not fit on any single consumer graphics card, multimodal model deployment and agent workflows, AI application development requiring long context windows and large working sets, professional video editing, 3D rendering, and audio production drawing on a shared memory pool, and multi-unit AI clusters for enterprises, research teams, and studios deploying in 2U racks. Buyers typically choose the P495 over the standard MS-S1 MAX when memory capacity is the binding constraint on their workloads, since the P495 adds 64GB of unified memory, faster 8533 MT\/s memory, 5 TOPS more NPU performance, 5 TOPS more total platform AI performance, and a higher turbo clock over the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 model. Buyers whose models already fit within 128GB will find the standard MS-S1 MAX delivers the same storage, networking, expansion, and chassis at a lower price.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MINISFORUM US","offers":[{"title":"AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ PRO 495 \/ 192GB RAM + 2TB SSD \/ US","offer_id":48790296035573,"sku":"MS-S1-MAX-P495192US","price":7399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1032\/5921\/files\/Compressed_MS-S1_Max.png?v=1784442536"},{"product_id":"minisforum-ms-01-se-workstation","title":"MINISFORUM MS-01 SE Workstation","description":"\u003cp\u003eShop the MINISFORUM MS-01 mini workstation.
