Acemagic has introduced a new mini-workstation that packs AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 chip and 192GB of memory into a compact two-litre chassis. This mini-PC measures just 158.5 x 158.5 x 81.5 mm, making it barely larger than a paperback book. Despite its small size, it boasts specifications typically found in larger workstation towers.
At the heart of this mini-workstation is AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, a 16-core, 32-thread ‘Zen 5’ processor capable of boosting to 5.2 GHz. It also includes Radeon 8065S integrated graphics, which can handle a range of tasks from everyday productivity to more demanding creative and gaming workloads. The chip also features a dedicated neural processing unit rated at 55 TOPS of INT8 performance, bringing the total platform performance to around 131 TOPS. This level of on-device AI capability is designed to run large language models locally, reducing reliance on cloud inference.
Acemagic’s mini-workstation supports up to 192 GB of LPDDR5X memory running at 8,533 MT/s, which is crucial for handling large language models that require generous, high-bandwidth RAM. Local storage comes from a single M.2 2280 slot wired for PCIe 4.0 x4, supporting drives up to 4 TB. This is sufficient for AI development and creative work, though users working with very large datasets may need to plan around the single-drive limit.
The system includes an OCuLink interface wired for PCIe 4.0 x4, allowing for the attachment of an external GPU enclosure or another PCIe device without needing to open the chassis. This feature is becoming a signature for this category of tiny AI-focused PCs, as seen in GMKtec’s EVO-X1 Pro.
Connectivity options are impressive for a machine this size. It includes two USB4 connections, dual 2.5 GbE wired Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4. Display output is handled through both HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1, supporting high-refresh monitors and modern home theatre setups. The dual 2.5 GbE Ethernet is particularly notable, enabling link aggregation or dedicated network segregation for local AI inference alongside other network traffic.
Acemagic’s mini-workstation stands out in the mini-PC field due to its combination of maximum memory capacity, OCuLink expansion, and dual 2.5 GbE networking in a genuinely pocketable case. It competes with other Ryzen AI Max mini-PCs like the GEEKOM GeekBook X16 Pro and Acer’s RTX Spark, both of which were also showcased at IFA 2026. The key difference lies in Acemagic’s focus on memory bandwidth and expansion options, making it a strong contender for those needing a compact machine for local AI models, media editing, or replacing a bulky tower.
Acemagic has not yet detailed pricing or a firm release window for this configuration, and regional availability remains unconfirmed. However, the IFA showing indicates a clear direction for the mini-PC market: smaller chassis, workstation-grade AI silicon, and expansion options typically reserved for full-size desktop towers.
