As edge AI adoption accelerates across the commercial market, GIGABYTE Technology, a global leader in high-performance computing, today announced the new GB-BRU9-386H for its BRIX Mainstream ultra-compact mini PC series—expanding its enterprise on-premises AI portfolio. Powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors and manufactured on the Intel 18A process node technology, the new system delivers up to 75% higher NPU performance than the previous generation, reaching up to 50 TOPS to accelerate AI inference and improve overall computing efficiency.

Staying true to BRIX's compact design, the latest BRIX Mainstream packs a 0.46-liter chassis with an ultra-slim 35 mm profile for easy deployment in space-constrained environments. Built for real-world business needs—from retail and industrial automation to surveillance and medical imaging—it delivers high performance, low latency, and privacy-preserving on-site computing at edge, helping organizations turn AI use cases into operational outcomes faster.

GIGABYTE is gearing up to launch a new version of its small-form-factor mini PCs called BRIX, now featuring Intel's "Panther Lake" and up to 128 GB of CSO-DIMM DDR5-6400 memory. The new BRIX GB-BRU9-386H is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 386H SoC with a 28 W TDP, offering a total of 16 cores distributed across four P, eight E, and four LPE core clusters (4P+8E+4LPE). It includes only four Xe3 GPU cores running at 2.5 GHz, delivering 40 TOPS. This is one of the less powerful iGPU configurations in the "Panther Lake" lineup, as the flagship Core Ultra X9 388H features 12 Xe3 cores, likely requiring better cooling for the additional GPU power. The strength of GIGABYTE's BRIX mini PC lies in its compactness, making it suitable for any work environment where GPU power isn't the main focus. With dimensions of just 112.6 x 34.4 x 119.4 mm, the volume of this tiny PC is only 0.47 liters.

Despite its small size, it is quite feature-rich, including one M.2 2280 slot for a PCIe Gen 5 SSD and another M.2 2280 slot for a PCIe Gen 4 SSD. As these BRIX PCs are barebones models, users need to add memory and storage. For storage, GIGABYTE offers a choice between two slots that support either two SO-DIMM DDR5 modules with speeds of up to 5,600 MT/s and a maximum capacity of 96 GB, or CSO-DIMM DDR5 modules running at up to 6,400 MT/s with a maximum capacity of 128 GB. The front panel includes a headset jack, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and a USB4 port. The back panel is equipped with two HDMI 2.1 ports, a USB4 port, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C with power delivery input, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, a USB 2.0 Type-A port, and an RJ45 Ethernet connector. Pricing and availability are still not listed, but GIGABYTE is showcasing this model on its website which means that launch is imminent.

GIGABYTE, a global leader in technology, today announced the availability of its flagship ultra-compact mini-PC, the New BRIX Mainstream series, accompanied by an exclusive product video release. This series is powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2) and boasts an integrated GPU with a remarkable 20% performance increase over the previous generation. Furthermore, it unleashes exceptional AI performance, delivering up to 96 Tera Operations Per Second (TOPS), making it perfectly suited for demanding generative AI tasks and intensive multitasking scenarios.

Designed to meet the growing needs of smart home solutions, commercial deployments, content creation, and edge computing, the BRIX Mainstream series packs this impressive performance into a remarkably compact 0.46-liter chassis with a sleek 3.5 cm profile. Despite its size, it offers top-tier computing power, flexible expansion options, and an eco-conscious, energy-efficient design - delivers performance that exceeds expectation.

GIGABYTE Technology, a global leader in computing innovation, will return to COMPUTEX 2025 from May 20 to 23 under the theme "Omnipresence of Computing: AI Forward." Demonstrating how GIGABYTE's complete spectrum of solutions spanning the AI lifecycle, from data center training to edge deployment and end-user applications reshapes the infrastructure to meet the next-gen AI demands.

As generative AI continues to evolve, so do the demands for handling massive token volumes, real-time data streaming, and high-throughput compute environments. GIGABYTE's end-to-end portfolio - ranging from rack-scale infrastructure to servers, cooling systems, embedded platforms, and personal computing—forms the foundation to accelerate AI breakthroughs across industries.

The list of mini PCs available on the market has grown quite a bit in the past few weeks, with a bunch of such systems getting unveiled at CES 2025. Now, Gigabyte clearly does not wish to be left out of the party either, and has unveiled its Brix Extreme mini PC powered by a last-gen, but decently powerful AMD "Hawk Point" APU and a plethora of connectivity options in a compact package.

The system, as mentioned, boasts the 28-watt Ryzen 7 8840U PRO APU, which sports 8 Zen 4 cores and 16 threads. Performance should be identical to its non-PRO counterpart, which should put it roughly in the same class as the Intel Core Ultra 256V "Lunar Lake" CPU. The APU is paired with up to 64 GB of DDR5-5600 memory. Dual M.2 2280 slots take care of storage requirements, both of which are user-accessible.

GIGABYTE Technology, internationally renowned for its R&D capabilities and a leading innovator in server and data center solutions, continues to lead technological innovation during this critical period of AI and computing advancement. With its comprehensive AI product portfolio, GIGABYTE will showcase its complete range of AI computing solutions at CES 2025, from data center infrastructure to IoT applications and personal computing, demonstrating how its extensive product line enables digital transformation across all sectors in this AI-driven era.
