Compact Power for AI Professionals

iBuyPower has officially entered the small-form-factor workstation market with the introduction of its Pro AMD AI Halo Mini PC. Priced at $3,999, this machine is engineered to deliver high-performance computing and local AI model processing within a surprisingly small chassis, measuring just 70 × 198 × 200 mm.


Technical Specifications and Performance

At the heart of the system lies the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor, which packs 16 Zen 5 cores. The workstation is further supported by:

  • Graphics: Integrated Radeon 8065S (RDNA 3.5 architecture) featuring 40 compute units, capable of handling ray tracing and interactive simulations.
  • Memory: 128GB of LPDDR5X RAM clocked at 8,000 MHz.
  • AI Capabilities: A dedicated neural processing unit (NPU) rated at 55 TOPS for local AI workload acceleration.

According to the manufacturer, this hardware configuration is aimed at creative professionals, engineers, and data scientists who require a machine capable of handling intensive local data processing. While the system includes dual 10Gb Ethernet ports, the company has not yet detailed specific software configurations for cluster-based AI distributed computing.


Connectivity and Design

The device sports a unique aesthetic featuring a leather strap on the enclosure. Beyond its looks, the machine offers extensive connectivity options:

«The Pro AMD AI Halo Mini PC provides a robust array of ports, including USB4 connections with 40 Gbps transfer speeds, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4 to ensure seamless integration into modern professional workflows.»

Front-facing I/O includes USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type A, a USB4 Type C port, an audio jack, and an SD card reader. The rear panel houses additional USB ports, DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and the dual 10Gb Ethernet ports.


Storage and Availability

Internal storage is flexible, offering three M.2 slots (PCIe 4.0) to accommodate various drive setups. The base configuration, retailing for $3,999, includes a 1TB SSD. Buyers will have the option to customize storage capacity at the time of purchase. The system is currently slated for a market release in Q4 2026, with final pricing subject to the chosen storage configuration.
