ASRock Debuts a Compact 4.64 Litre AI BOX-A395 With Ryzen AI Max+ 395 for Up To 50 AI TOPS of Power
Popular hardware manufacturer ASRock has released a brand new AI PC called AI BOX-A395, featuring the best and the flagship AMD Zen 5-based CPU. AI BOX-A395 uses the 16-core/32-thread Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, featuring the most powerful integrated graphics in the mainstream hardware segment. With a combination of Zen 5-based 16-core CPU and Radeon 8060S, the AI BOX-A395 is able to execute intensive applications effortlessly and play modern titles without needing a discrete GPU.
Radeon 8060S features 40 Compute Units based on RDNA 3.5 architecture and delivers RTX 4060 laptop-equivalent performance. Apart from powerful computing, the AI BOX-A395 can deliver up to 50 AI TOPS of performance, thanks to the built-in NPU in the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip. This makes the AI BOX-A395 an ideal system for workstations and can run large AI models locally. AI BOX-A395 also delivers excellent connectivity, featuring a 10G LAN port for high-speed wired internet and an additional 2.5G LAN as well.
For wireless internet connectivity, it boasts an M.2 Key E slot that supports WiFi and Bluetooth 5.7. For storage, users will find dual M.2 slots that support PCIe Gen 4.0 SSDs. To ensure AI workloads can be executed quickly, AI BOX-A395 can support up to 128 GB LPDDR5X memory. ASRock hasn't announced all the configurations, but considering users can opt for up to 128 GB capacity with the memory capable of running up to 8000 MT/s, it will be incredibly fast for professional tasks.
Such a high-end system needs ample cooling, and ASRock has deployed an advanced cooling solution, comprising 6 heat pipes and a copper base to quickly dissipate heat. The chassis is properly ventilated from multiple sides to ensure the heat can escape simultaneously for a cooler operation. All of this is done inside this 200 x 100 x 232 mm chassis that doesn't require a lot of space on the desk. Pricing and availability haven't been disclosed yet.
