Pre-built desktop builder iBUYPOWER is moving into small-form-factor computing for the first time. The company announced the PRO AMD Ryzen AI Halo Mini PC, a high-spec desktop aimed at professional artificial intelligence workloads, heavy productivity tasks, and mini PC gaming that starts at $3,999 in the United States.
At the center of the chassis sits AMD's Zen 5 mobile flagship, the Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495. The processor supplies 16 CPU cores and 32 threads alongside an onboard neural engine and integrated Radeon 8065S graphics. That graphics core arrives with higher base clock rates than the standard Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip, letting the system run graphical workloads without relying on a dedicated graphics card.
Memory capacity tops out at 128GB of LPDDR5X RAM running at 8,000 MT/s. While that is a huge figure for a desktop that fits in one hand, competing system makers building on the Gorgon Halo architecture have started pushing configurations up to 192GB, allowing up to 160GB of shared video allocation. For internal storage, buyers get two M.2 2280 slots capable of holding up to 8TB of fast solid-state drives.
