Revolutionary Performance in a Compact Form Factor
At IFA Berlin 2026, CHUWI introduced the UniBox AI495 Pro, a miniature workstation designed to handle heavy AI workloads locally. The device stands out by pairing AMD's latest Ryzen AI MAX+ PRO 495 processor with an impressive 192GB of unified memory, mirroring the memory ceiling found in high-end workstations from Apple.
The system features a distinctive X-Frame design, which some users may find reminiscent of the classic cylindrical Mac Pro aesthetic. Despite its high-performance internals, the unit remains remarkably compact, measuring just 209.6 × 209.6 × 67 mm and occupying a volume of roughly 2.9 liters.
Processing Power and AI Capabilities
At the heart of the machine lies the Ryzen AI MAX+ PRO 495, an advanced chip built on the Zen 5 architecture. It boasts 16 cores and 32 threads, capable of boost speeds up to 5.2 GHz. Graphics are handled by the integrated Radeon 8065S, which features 40 cores based on RDNA 3.5 architecture, reaching frequencies of up to 3,000 MHz.
The standout feature is the memory architecture. With a 256-bit interface and 273 GB/s bandwidth, up to 160GB can be allocated exclusively to graphics processing. According to CHUWI, this configuration allows the machine to run large language models (LLMs) with up to 300 billion parameters using 4-bit quantization. The platform delivers a total of 131 TOPS (trillions of operations per second), with the XDNA 2 neural processor accounting for 55 TOPS.
Connectivity and Storage Specifications
Despite its small size, the UniBox AI495 Pro offers extensive expansion and connectivity options:
- Storage: Three M.2 2280 PCIe x4 slots supporting up to 2TB.
- Networking: Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and dual 10Gbps Ethernet ports.
- Data Transfer: Two USB4 ports offering 40Gbps speeds, plus an OCuLink port for external hardware.
The system runs on Windows 11 Pro and is powered by a 240W adapter. While pricing remains undisclosed, industry estimates suggest a price point north of $2,000, given similar configurations announced by other manufacturers like Acemagic and GMKtek.
Additional Model: The UniBox AI395
CHUWI is also launching the UniBox AI395, a sibling model powered by the Ryzen AI MAX+ 395. This variant offers slightly adjusted specs, including:
«The UniBox AI395 supports up to 128GB of RAM with 256 GB/s bandwidth and delivers 126 TOPS, with the neural processing unit contributing 50 TOPS.»
Both models share the same compact chassis, 2TB storage capacity, and power supply standards, ensuring that users have access to high-performance computing regardless of the specific configuration chosen.
