Acemagic Announces Tank Centre Mini PC Series with Ryzen AI Max+ 395

As a leader in innovative technology, ACEMAGIC today announced the upcoming launch of the ACEMAGIC Tank Centre series, introducing two new models, M1A PRO and M1A PRO+. Building on the success of the original TANK 03, the new lineup delivers significantly enhanced performance for gaming, AI workloads, and multi-display productivity, while retaining the series' distinctive industrial design.

As PC hardware continues to evolve, high-performance computing is becoming increasingly compact, intelligent, and energy-efficient. ACEMAGIC has been at the forefront of this shift, demonstrating that mini PCs can deliver desktop-class performance without the size or complexity of traditional systems.
From TANK 03 to Tank Centre: A Proven Foundation
Launched in October 2023, the ACEMAGIC TANK 03 quickly gained recognition in the mini PC market for its bold design, powerful discrete-GPU configurations, and flexible performance control. Featuring options such as Intel Core i9-12900H paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics, the TANK 03 proved that compact systems could meet the demands of gaming, content creation, and professional workloads.

A defining feature of the TANK 03 was ACEMAGIC's three-mode performance dial, allowing users to instantly switch between Silent, Auto, and Performance modes, balancing acoustics and power based on real-time needs. Combined with a compact footprint and extensive I/O connectivity, the TANK 03 established itself as a benchmark for high-performance mini PCs.

Introducing the Tank Centre Series
The new Tank Centre series represents the next phase of this vision. While preserving the recognizable chassis and design language of the TANK 03, the M1A PRO and M1A PRO+ deliver substantial upgrades in computing capability and target distinct professional user groups.
  • Tank Centre M1A PRO
    • Designed for gamers and developers, the M1A PRO is powered by the Intel Core i9-13900HK, offering strong single-core and multicore performance for demanding applications, modern games, and development environments.
  • Tank Centre M1A PRO+
    • Aimed at AI engineers, researchers, and advanced computing professionals, the M1A PRO+ features the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, enabling enhanced AI acceleration and computational efficiency for next-generation workloads.
While both models share the same core design philosophy, their rear I/O configurations differ, optimizing connectivity for their respective use cases.
Consistent Design, Enhanced Thermal Performance
Both Tank Centre models retain the signature elements that define the TANK lineup, including the distinctive industrial aesthetic, customizable RGB lighting, and the three-mode performance dial. Internally, the systems employ an upgraded cooling solution with large-diameter fans and multiple heat pipes, ensuring stable performance under sustained high loads.

Users can easily adjust system behavior via the performance dial, selecting Silent, Auto, or Performance modes to suit different environments and workloads.

A Step Toward Future-Ready Computing
With the launch of the Tank Centre series, ACEMAGIC continues to push the boundaries of what compact PCs can achieve. By combining high-end processors, advanced thermal design, and a recognizable product identity, the company aims to deliver future-ready computing solutions in an increasingly space-conscious world.

Availability and regional rollout details will be announced in due course.

The product has officially launched today with early-bird pricing set at $2,499 for the US. market and €2,299 for the EU market. ACEMAGIC will share further launch updates in the coming weeks.

In a far less ugly outer shell, this is what i believe a version of the Steam Machine could really be. A cheaper version, optimally.

Oh look, someone figured out that we want mroe then 3 USB ports! Incredible progress!

But $2500? Yikes! Sure RAM plays a large part of that but that is just an insane price for something slower then a 4060.

Well, this might appeal or sell to a certain crowd (the one with more $$ than brains & gamr bois/gurlz), but at that price without Gen 5 storage, USB4/TB, or possibly Occulink, it's D.O.friggin.A. as far as I'm concerned :D

And if this is supposed to be "industrial design", I'd rather stick with a sames-ole-same-same rectangular boxen of yesteryear, cause I honestly can't see ANY business buying, it unless it's gonna be stashed away in the basement along with the IT geeks in a dark corner somewhere...

Looks like a Strix Halo part, those are expensive.

It's in the same ballpark of other Strix Halo offerings.

See above. I don't think many folks will be buying those for games, but rather to make use of the unified 128GB of memory.
But I do agree that the looks are dubious, to say the least.

I know it's Strix Halo. For the last half year or so we have had 295+ mini PCs with 128GB of RAM available for $1999, sometimes $1899 on sale. So $2500 smarts pretty hard.

At 2300€ for 128 GB RAM... I can't even call this expensive...

It is clearly not developed for gamers, the gaming version (base config) is 800ish and comes with a 12900H/RTX 4060 (presumably laptop version)

128GB RAM alone costs $2000 nowadays so it's not all that bad considering.

It's marketed as an AI machine, because the iGPU can access nearly all of that RAM. Which means that in tasks where VRAM is the bottleneck, it can outperform any consumer discrete GPU. Hence the cost. It's also a testbed product. The good thing is that the test apparently worked and they have a successor on the pipeline, which will have cheaper models... in about 2 years.

It would've been totally unnecessary. Neither the AI nor the unified RAM is used by games and it will not be in the next 5-10 years since there is no HW en masse on the hands of the customers. What Valve needed was a relatively cheap, affordable PC solution aimed at the lower-medium segment of the gaming market and that is exactly what they got.

These daydreams about using AMD's 2k$ AI powerhouse for gaming is ridiculous... It is as feasible for gaming as it is right now. to buy one and game on it...

The successor to Strix Halo is rumored to get the IO/GPU die repurposed as a dGPU, so not that ridiculous. However that's still two years away.

Daydreams? Buddy, the strix halo ISNT an "AI powerhouse". It doesnt use an Instinct based design with a focus on AI acceleration. It uses the exact same core count as any other rDNA3.5 product. That's like claiming that the 7900xtx is an "AI powerhouse" and that gaming on it is ridiculous.

Unified RAM isnt special either. AMD has been doing that with APUs since 2012. Intel since 2011. Every laptop has "unified RAM". Strix halo has a wider bus because it needs that bus to feed the bigger core, but in no way was it only intended for AI. Gaming was frequently brought up by AMD when developing and promoting Strix Halo.

It is specified on the website as 128 GB, with a 2 TB SSD

I mean AI became a fad more or less during the development of these. Then people found out that since you could use this fast(ish) unified memory and get good LLM numbers even with a mediocre GPU core, and it instantly became an AI product lmao. What better marketing than "2.5x faster than an RTX 4090!!" despite having a fraction of its actual performance, solely due to the memory capacity?
