Following yesterday's launch of the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395-powered Ayaneo Next 2, Corsair has announced yet another small-form-factor PC powered by AMD's Strix Halo APU. The Corsair AI Workstation 300, however, is a small-form-factor desktop PC measuring in at just 96.5 × 188.4 × 247.5 mm and launching at a pricey $1,599.99. That starting price only gets you into the eight-core AMD Ryzen AI Max 385, though, with the 16-core Ryzen AI Max+ 395 coming in at a staggering $1,999.99. The system offers up to 128 GB of RAM and 4 TB of NVMe SSD storage. The fully kitted-out system with the AI Max+ 395 APU, 128 GB RAM, and 4 TB SSD comes in at $2,299.99 from Corsair directly. The whole system is also powered by an internal 350 W flex ATX PSU, which should give the APU plenty of power for intensive tasks without having to have an external power brick.

Corsair's model is based on the same chassis as a design by Sixunited, whose Strix Halo Mini ITX motherboards were recently featured here as well. Just like those aforementioned motherboard designs, the Corsair AI Workstation 300 is built around LPDDR5x-8000 RAM, and even the starting configuration features 64 GB of RAM, communicating the workstation's intended workload as an AI workstation rather than a compact gaming system. The AI Workstation 300 ships with Corsair's AI Software Suite, which includes Amuse AI, an image generator based on Stable Diffusion and AMD Super Resolution, and Jan AI, an offline, open-source AI assistant based on Llama 3 and Mistral. Given the limitations of the small chassis, the AI Workstation 300 features a reasonably healthy IO selection, with an SD 4.0 card reader, 1× USB4 port, 2× USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and a 3.5 mm combo jack on the front. The rear has 1× HDMI 2.1, 1× DP 1.4, 1× USB4, 1× USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1× 2.5 GbE, and 1× 3.5 mm headphone/microphone combo jack.
