Minisforum has launched a compact PC called the MS-S1 MAX-P495, priced at $7,399 in the US market. This system is one of the first available with AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor, part of their Gorgon Halo platform. Designed for demanding AI workloads rather than typical desktop users, the MS-S1 MAX-P495 emphasizes large shared memory pools over raw compute performance.
The Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor features 16 Zen 5 CPU cores and Radeon 8065S graphics with 40 RDNA 3.5 Compute Units. It boasts up to 55 TOPS for its Neural Processing Unit (NPU). The PC accommodates up to 192GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory on a 256-bit interface, with up to 160GB assigned to the integrated GPU. Minisforum lists a performance of up to 131 TOPS for the entire system, with a peak power consumption of 160W.
The cooling system includes a copper base, six heat pipes, phase-change thermal material, and two fans. The system comes with a 2TB SSD in the US version and offers multiple expansion slots, including two M.2 slots and a full-length PCIe 4.0 x4 slot. Connectivity features dual 10GbE ports, USB4 Version 2.0 ports, HDMI 2.1 capabilities, and other high-speed interfaces.
Priced similarly to HP's ZBook Ultra G3a workstation with a 192GB configuration (up to $7,449), the MS-S1 MAX-P495 targets users requiring a small system with exceptional unified memory capacity, willing to invest in workstation-level hardware for their AI and workstation tasks.
