Minix has officially launched its ER939-AI Pro mini PC, which was first teased late last year. The compact powerhouse is now available for purchase through the company’s official online store.
At the heart of the ER939-AI Pro is the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, based on the new Strix Halo architecture. It packs 16 full Zen 5 cores and delivers performance on par with AMD’s Ryzen 9 7945HX. In Cinebench R26 (2024), it even beats Intel’s Core Ultra 7 255HX by roughly 7%.
Graphics are handled by the integrated Radeon 8060S, whose power is similar to a discrete Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. The mini PC is equipped with a massive 128GB of LPDDR5X-8000 RAM, which cannot be upgraded but provides plenty of bandwidth shared between CPU and GPU tasks.
This generous memory pool enables running large language models locally-a demanding task that overwhelms most consumer GPUs limited to 8-24GB of video memory. Storage includes a 2TB built-in SSD expandable up to 8TB.
Cooling relies on a triple-fan setup designed to keep temperatures stable under heavy loads. Connectivity options include USB4, USB 3.2, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, 2.5G Ethernet, and audio jacks. Wireless support boasts Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.
Despite its beefy specs, the ER939-AI Pro maintains a compact form factor measuring roughly 20.5 × 19.2 × 6.9 cm. It also features a fingerprint scanner for biometric security.
Pricing for the Minix ER939-AI Pro mini PC is set at $3,810, placing it at the high end of the market. More affordable options with similar specifications, such as the GMKtec Evo-X2, are already available, offering strong competition for budget-conscious buyers.
Minix is clearly targeting professionals and enthusiasts who need desktop-class AI performance in a compact package. It will be interesting to see how this Ryzen AI-powered mini PC stacks up against future Intel NUCs or Apple’s own compact silicon desktops, especially as AI workloads become a bigger part of everyday computing.
