This chip features 16 cores, 32 threads based on the Zen 5 core architecture, and also packs the Radeon 8060S GPU with 40 compute units, so a lot of performance is ready to go for AI, Gaming, and PRO workloads. This chip can be tuned up to 160W on the MS-S1 MAX.
- High Performance: AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (16C/32T) + AMD Radeon 8060S GPU
- Memory & Storage: Up to 128GB LPDDR5x-8000MT/s quad-channel unified memory
- Connectivity: USB4 V2 (80Gbps, PD 15W) × 2, USB4 (40Gbps) × 2, Dual 10GbE LAN + Wi-Fi 7 + Bluetooth 5.4.
- Rack mode optimization: Custom rear airflow and thermal control for 2U cluster
Other specs include up to 128 GB of LPDDR5x-8000 memory, lots of storage capabilities, strong IO with 80 Gbps and 40 Gbps USB4 outputs (Type-C), support for SFF PCIe graphics cards, dual 10 GbE LAN, BT 5.4 with WIFI7 support, and a built-in PSU (320W). The chassis also features a microphone array on the front and has exhaust vents on the back, which are optimized for 2U rack configurations.
Minisforum G1 PRO With AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX
Next up, we have the Minisforum G1 Pro, which is powered by AMD's Ryzen 9 8945HX "Dragon Range Refresh" CPU with up to 16 cores based on the Zen 4 architecture. For the GPU, the system will be equipped with a mobility-grade RTX 50 GPU, most probably an RTX 5070 or 5080. Other specs include 96 GB of DDR5-5600 memory, dual PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD slots, 5G Ethernet, WIFI 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, HDMI 2.1, DP 1.4, and dual USB Type-C ports with Alt DP2.0 support.
For the G1 Pro, Minisforum has gone with a very futuristic chassis that stands vertically and has a white texture on the outside with blue LEDs in the middle, which light up when the system is powered on. Since Minisforum has selected Ryzen 8000HX for this generation, we can expect an upcoming refresh with the newer Fire Range options too.
- High Performance: AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX (16C/32T) + NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU
- Memory & Storage: Up to 96GB DDR5, dual PCIe 4.0 x4 SSDs

Minisforum G7 PRO With Intel Core i9-14900HX
Now we move to the Intel side, where Minisforum is only offering one option, the G7 Pro with the Core i9-14900HX. This features 24 cores, 32 threads, and up to 5.8 GHz clock speeds alongside an RTX 5070 GPU. The system comes with dual-channel DDR5 memory support (SO-DIMM), up to 2 PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD slots, HDMI 2.1, USB4, an Ethernet LAN port, WIFI 7, Bluetooth 5.4, multiple USB Type-A/C ports, and an SD card reader.
The design for the G7 Pro, an AtomMan series product, is similar to various NUCs that Minisforum and even Intel offered in the past. This new design comes with LEDs on the front and the same vertical stand that we've seen on previous products. Minisforum has made an interesting choice not to go with any modern-day Intel CPU, such as the Core Ultra Series 2 "Arrow Lake". That might be due to performance or cost reasons, but yeah, the 14900HX is still a very capable mobile chip.
- High Performance: Intel Core i9-14900HX (24C/32T, up to 5.8 GHz) + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU
- Memory & Storage: Dual-channel DDR5, up to 2× M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSDs
- Display Options: HDMI 2.1, USB4
- Connectivity: RJ45 Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, multiple USB-A/C ports, SD card reader
- Compact & Versatile: Ultra-slim design with a mode toggle button for flexible use
Minisforum hasn't detailed the specifications and prices for any of its Mini PCs announced at IFA 2025, but they are expected to be rolled out in the coming months, so stay tuned for more information.
