Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles are finally getting machine learning-based upscaling technology with the latest FSR Upscaling 4.1.2. Microsoft's Game Development Kit (GDK) now officially includes FSR Upscaling 4.1.2 in two models. One is the full-scale upscaling model based on the INT8 data type, and the other is a new and efficient Lite INT8 model. Both models are compatible with both consoles, but the key point is that game developers have the flexibility to choose which model to implement. Depending on the demands of a game, the appropriate model can be applied to achieve optimal upscaling performance.

For Xbox handheld devices, the AMD FSR SDK 2.4 adds FSR Upscaling support for the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme and Ryzen Z2 A processors, which power the ROG Xbox Ally, ROG Xbox Ally X, and ROG Xbox Ally X20 handhelds. This is achieved using an efficient INT8 model. Since these devices run Windows, developers can integrate FSR Upscaling 4.1.2 through the standard AMD FSR SDK.

During its Q3 2026 quarterly results, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su expressed expectations that its client PC business will decline significantly in 2027, possibly by double-digit percentage points. The entire industry is experiencing price hikes due to the tight supply of crucial PC components like GPU memory and system RAM. These rising prices have been driving down sales in the client sector, while the enterprise sector has been thriving with strong EPYC CPU sales and Instinct MI accelerator sales to AI labs, hyperscalers, and neoclouds. While a rising tide lifts all boats in the AI datacenter space, there is an opposite lowering tide in the client PC industry, projecting a general decline in this segment.

AMD's CEO Dr. Lisa SuLooking at the market, PC sell-through slowed late in the quarter as higher memory and component costs weighed on demand. We are managing the business accordingly, aligning sell-in with sell-through to keep customer and channel inventory healthy. In 2027, we are planning for PC market unit shipments to decline by a double-digit percentage. In this environment, we expect to outperform the market as we deliver our Ryzen roadmap and grow our commercial footprint.

Leaker Kepler_L2 says AMD will bring RDNA 5+ to its Zen 7 "Grimlock" APUs in 2029. He posted on the NeoGAF forum, replying to a user who guessed RDNA 5 would trickle down to regular mobile chips in 2028 or later. His answer was "RDNA5+ in 2029 with Grimlock." He gave no details on how RDNA 5+ differs from RDNA 5, and AMD hasn't confirmed the name or timing. Grimlock is the codename for the Zen 7 Ryzen generation. This update follows Kepler_L2's January claim that AMD is splitting its APU roadmap in two. Products that don't need strong integrated graphics, like office laptops or laptops with a high-end discrete GPU, stay on RDNA 3.5 until 2029, while "premium" parts get RDNA 5. Medusa Halo is expected to be one of those.

The picture is messy, though. We previously reported that Medusa Point should get RDNA 4m, a tweaked RDNA 3.5 with FSR 4 support, and AMD's HIPRT 3.2 release notes list Medusa support for gfx1170, gfx1171 and gfx115E. The gfx115x family is RDNA 3.5, so it looks like at least one Medusa chip could stick with it. If this ends up being true, anyone waiting on a mainstream Ryzen laptop or handheld with RDNA 5 graphics may be waiting a long time. That's a long run for one iGPU architecture, but of course, this is all leak territory until AMD says something concrete.

AMD's Zen 6 just got one of its first rough per-clock comparisons against Zen 5, and the early numbers look good. Leaker HXL spotted a Geekbench 7.1.0 listing for the 256-core EPYC 9996, the flagship "Venice" chip AMD launched in July, scoring 2,847 points in single-core on a Dell PowerEdge R9815 server running Linux. User three twenty six on X then locked a Ryzen 7 9700X to 4.1 GHz, matching the EPYC 9996's maximum boost, and got 2,444 points on the same Geekbench version. That works out to roughly 16.5% higher single-core performance for Zen 6 at the same frequency. Apparently, Zen 6 came out ahead in all 15 single-core subtests, with gains ranging from 8.2% in File Compression to 25.7% in HTML5 Browser.

Of course, these scores only give us a general idea about the gains. The EPYC 9996 uses the dense Zen 6c cores, not the full Zen 6 cores expected in desktop Ryzen chips, so it's hard to say how closely these numbers will carry over. The two systems are also wildly different, with a server platform on one side and a 9700X running DDR5-6000 CL34 under CachyOS Linux on the other, and the EPYC listing has since been pulled from the Geekbench database. Still, a double-digit per-clock gain from the dense core variant is quite encouraging. AMD has already confirmed that "Olympic Ridge" desktop CPUs will stay on AM5, though they reportedly won't arrive until 2027, so we can expect more comprehensive performance leaks well before then.

AMD has published HIPRT 3.2, the latest version of its ray tracing library for HIP, and the release notes name the integrated graphics of its upcoming Zen 6 "Medusa" processors outright. Under new features, AMD lists Medusa support for three GPU architecture IDs: gfx1170, gfx1171, and gfx115E. HIPRT is mostly used by rendering apps like Blender, so this says nothing about gaming performance. Still, the link between these IDs and Medusa has so far rested on compiler patches and leaks, and now the Medusa name sits right in AMD's own changelog.

The gfx117x IDs belong to RDNA 4m, which first showed up in LLVM back in February. AMD added GFX1171 and GFX1172 targets in March, merged GFX1171 into Mesa 26.3 in August, and pushed RDNA 4m firmware later that month. Despite the name, RDNA 4m sits in the GFX11 family with RDNA 3 and 3.5, plus a few RDNA 4 style additions like FP8/BF8 conversion and new matrix instructions. The gfx115E entry is the more curious one. GFX115x covers the RDNA 3.5 graphics in Strix Point and Strix Halo, so it looks like at least one Medusa chip could stick with RDNA 3.5. The same release fixes a bug that truncated architecture numbers containing a letter, gfx115E included.

AMD and Microsoft have confirmed that FSR Upscaling 4.1 is coming to the Xbox Series X and Series S. The news came in an AMD video presentation led by Jack Huynh, joined by Xbox CTO Scott Van Vliet and ASUS. The ROG Xbox Ally handhelds are getting it too, and it looks like they will be first in line, while the consoles are only listed as "coming soon." Neither company has shared a release date or a list of supported games. Both consoles use RDNA 2 graphics, the same architecture as the Radeon RX 6000 series, which AMD also announced FSR 4.1 for today, well ahead of the early 2027 target it set in May. Here's what Van Vliet said:

With FSR 4.1 coming to Xbox. Now, we've worked very closely with AMD to optimize this technology, giving developers another powerful tool for great performance and visual quality for players. Now, whether you're playing on an Xbox Ally handheld, as well as coming soon to Xbox Series X and Series S consoles. And this is just the beginning. Our teams are continuing to work together across hardware and software, and there's even more ahead with Project Helix, leveraging FSR Diamond to power what comes next.

The concept of a cyberdeck is to customize hardware to better suit your specific needs and use cases, and a modder who goes by "Slurp Burgers" online has taken the concept to something of an extreme, with their take on a laptop, the Slurptop. Unlike many DIY cyberdeck builds, which are based on Raspberry Pi computers, the Slurptop uses a full-fat AMD Ryzen 7 7730U in the motherboard from a GMKtec M5 Ultra mini PC. As a result, it has somewhat better I/O than a traditional laptop, although the mini PC's three front USB Type-C ports were all used to connect the display and peripherals internally.

The modder took the GMKtec innards and built a custom 3D printed shell around them, replete with a columnar-stagger ergonomic keyboard using MX-style switches and SA profile keycaps, a central num pad, and a trackball mounted at the bottom of the cyberdeck. Perhaps more interesting, the modder designed custom circuitry to be able to run the device off a 24 V Kobalt power tool battery, which is swappable in the event that you need an emergency charge. The modder says that, with light productivity use, like word processing, the battery lasts around five hours, but that could be increased with a bigger 8 Ah battery.

A Reddit user in the r/watercooling subreddit bought an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition from Amazon and noticed that something was off. This was his second 9950X3D2 chip, and both chips were sold and shipped by Amazon and arrived in sealed retail boxes, with identical markings on the heat spreader. Flip them over, however, and the newer one looks nothing like the first. It has a large empty area in the middle packed with tiny capacitors, while a genuine AM5 Ryzen chip has gold contact pads covering nearly its entire underside. The user initially assumed AMD had quietly revised the design. Commenters thought otherwise, and the top reply suggests that someone delidded a real 9950X3D2, attached its heat spreader to an old Intel processor, and sent the fake back to Amazon for a refund. That chip has now ended up in our Redditor's hands.

In this case, the layout is a big giveaway, since Intel desktop chips place many of their capacitors on the underside of the substrate, whereas AMD keeps them on top to leave room for contacts. The lettering on the fake also looks smudged, possibly from the delid or a reprint. It's still unclear which Intel CPU sits underneath, and there's no word from Amazon so far on the matter. That's a costly mistake too, considering the 9950X3D2 launched at $899. Amazon has been here before, apparently, with reports of a fake Ryzen 7 9800X3D that turned out to be a 2011-era FX-4100 with a sticker on top. Buyers are advised to record unboxings of expensive parts and, in the case of CPUs, closely inspect both sides of the chip.

It seems as though AMD is readying a new mobile APU that bears a striking resemblance to the existing Ryzen Z2 Extreme. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 HX 455 was recently leaked by Golden Pig Upgrade on Weibo, with the post suggesting that the new CPU would launch with eight cores and 16 threads and a 16 CU iGPU, while the 16 CU iGPU will reportedly be identical to the existing Radeon 890M on the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme, which has proven itself capable of very decent gaming performance in our in-depth review of the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X.

The exact core breakdown is unknown, but in a response to a question about the CCD layout, the leaker alludes to a similar layout to the Z2 Extreme, which features three Zen 5 cores and five Zen 5c cores across two CCDs, although the new APU will have a significantly larger cache to work with—24 MB L3 instead of the Z2 Extreme's 16 MB—signalling that it will be a cut-back version of the existing Ryzen AI HX 470 APU, which features four Zen 5 cores and eight Zen 5c cores.

Driveclub, Evolution Studios' 2014 PS4 racer, now runs natively on Windows through DriveClub Recomp, a fan project released on GitHub by OverkillLabs3. While PlayStation emulation has been progressing rapidly, this one doesn't use CPU emulation. The game's own x86-64 code runs directly on the PC's processor, while the PS4 system libraries are reimplemented and GPU commands are translated to Vulkan. The port supports resolutions from 720p to 8K, ultrawide displays, and an unlocked frame rate that doesn't speed up the game. It also replaces the original anti-aliasing with NVIDIA DLAA on RTX cards or AMD FSR 3.1 on any GPU, both at native resolution, and RTX owners can swap between the two in-game with F10.

The developer says the game holds about 60 FPS at 4K in its heaviest scenes on an RTX 5070 Ti paired with a Ryzen 7 5800X3D, and the v0.2.3 update pushed one 4K test race from roughly 62 to 71 FPS. It is still rough around the edges, however. Some reflections look too bright, shaders compile during the first few minutes, slower CPUs drop frames in busy scenes, and online features don't work. It has also only been tested on NVIDIA hardware so far. A second project, DCport by qnfn, takes a similar route with FSR 3.1 and FSR 4 support. Both need the player's own dump of version 1.28. It's in the same vein as how modders recently got Gran Turismo Sport running on PC. These recomps arrive a couple of months after a ShadPS4 patch let Driveclub run at up to 8K, quite the jump for a game that shipped at 1080p and 30 FPS.

The ever-growing list of mini PCs powered by AMD's Gorgon Halo APUs has just received its latest addition in the TOPC TXA2, a new workstation built around AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 APU and its powerful Radeon 8065S iGPU. The TOPC TXA2 is available in two configurations, with either 2 TB of storage for $6,399 or 4 TB of storage for $6,699 on TOPC's online store—even though the price is high, it's still a solid $900 cheaper than AMD's in-house Ryzen AI Halo Developer platform.

The TXA2 also packs 192 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 unified memory, with up to 160 GB shared with the iGPU for workstation use. Despite the 180 ×180 × 78 mm, or ~2.5 L chassis, TOPC claims that the TXA2 is capable of a 120 W TDP. It's also no slouch in the I/O department, with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 for wireless networking and connectivity, and it has a healthy port selection, to boot.

HP revealed the EliteBoard G2a keyboard PC at CES 2026, promising "next-generation local AI power in a keyboard-sized form factor." Now, 10 months later, HP has released the updated EliteBoard G2a, revealing pricing and some of the keyboard and underlying PC specs, in the process. The G2a features either the updated AMD Ryzen AI 7 Pro 450 APU or its smaller Ryzen AI 5 Pro 435 counterpart. The cheapest version of the HP EliteBoard G2a, which packs a Ryzen AI 5 Pro, 16 GB of DDR5-5600 memory, and 512 GB of PCIe Gen 5 SSD storage, comes in at $3,028, while the SKU with the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 450 APU paired with 32 GB of memory and a 512 GB SSD, comes in at $4,167.

The small form factor PC is capable of drawing 65 W over USB Power Delivery, and the only I/O it features is a single USB4 port and a single USB Type-C 10 Gbps port. The EliteBoard G2a also features built-in dual speakers and comes bundled with an HP 675M wireless mouse. The keyboard component of the mini PC is a membrane keyboard, not mechanical, and it follows what appears to be an 1800 layout, and it has white backlighting. Fortunately, the EliteBoard G2a uses SODIMM RAM, so it's upgradeable in the event that you want 32 GB of RAM but don't want to pay HP's upgrade cost.

The second-generation Lenovo Legion Go handheld devices have already received a substantial price increase after their initial launch, with the entry-level Legion Go S jumping from $899.99 and $649.99 to $1,579.99 and $989.99, for the Z1 Extreme and Z2 Go models, respectively. This was after Lenovo already increased the price on the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme-powered Legion Go 2 from $1,349.99 to $1,999.99. Now, the same Legion Go 2 with 32 GB of RAM and 2 TB of storage that previously jumped to $2,849 can now be found on the Lenovo US online store for $3,081.99.

This is a $233 price jump that corresponds to around 8% of the total previous price, although the Legion Go 2 with 1 TB of storage can still be found at Best Buy for $1,999.99. The latest price increase for the Legion Go 2 comes as the gaming handheld continues to be out of stock at Lenovo, despite partner stores, like Best Buy, having stock of the handhelds. Lenovo hasn't yet announced the price hike for the Legion Go, but it seems reasonable to assume the price increase is linked to the ongoing RAMpocalypse that has repeatedly affected pricing across various PC hardware segments—but most severely RAM and DRAM.

iBUYPOWER, the leading system integrator in North America specializing in high-performance prebuilt and custom gaming PCs, announced today that it is expanding its iBUYPOWER PRO Workstation lineup with the reveal of an all-new mini-PC - the iBUYPOWER Pro AMD AI Halo Mini PC, which is built on AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 Series processors. Available for purchase in Q4 2026 starting at $3999, the iBUYPOWER Pro AMD AI Halo Mini PC enables next-gen workstations and desktops to deliver exceptional ROI with robust security features while maintaining high performance.

COMPACT FORM FACTOR BUILT WITH iBUYPOWER'S HIGH-QUALITY STANDARDS
The new iBUYPOWER Pro AMD AI Halo Mini PC easily fits into any user's existing setup, measuring 70x198x200 mm, making it perfect for discreet or minimalist spaces. For those who prefer mini-PCs as their main system, the iBUYPOWER Pro AMD AI Halo Mini PC uses AMD Ryzen's AI Max+ PRO 495 Processor. This lets users easily render complex AI models, enable instant ray tracing and interactive simulations alongside local AI inference, and seamlessly tackle complex data and engineering projects without using third-party cloud services.

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) evolves toward Super Intelligence (SI), intelligent computing is entering a new phase—one in which increasingly capable AI is moving closer to endpoints and edge environments. This shift is accelerating demand for local large-model processing, data privacy, low-latency performance, and greater control over AI workloads. In response, Minisforum is advancing its Local AI strategy from high-performance AI systems toward scalable local computing platforms. The new MS-S1 MAX-P495 is the latest step in this evolution, bringing powerful local AI computing to the edge and helping bridge today's AI era with the emerging era of Super Intelligence.

From 395 to P495: More Headroom for Local AI
Following the MS-S1 MAX powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, Minisforum is introducing the MS-S1 MAX-P495, powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495. Built on the Zen 5 architecture, the processor features 16 cores and 32 threads, with clock speeds of up to 5.2 GHz, and integrates Radeon 8065S Graphics. It delivers up to 55 TOPS of NPU performance and 131 TOPS of total AI compute, targeting AI enthusiasts, developers, geeks, and professional creators with higher demands for local high-performance computing.

AMD held a press briefing to share how its "Agentic PC" push is going, and it brought a fair number of figures along. Apparently, the company has shipped over half a million Agentic PCs across more than 50 designs, alongside tens of millions of AI PCs across more than 250 designs. Of course, the term "Agentic PC" is AMD's own. It covers any PC whose CPU, GPU, and NPU can run AI agents locally, and AMD says Ryzen AI Max+ systems with 64 GB of memory or more give the best experience. The Ryzen AI Max 400 series is pitched as the "next-gen Agentic PC" for 2026, and most of the briefing focused on its flagship, the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 "Gorgon Halo" with 192 GB of memory.

AMD will "substantially" increase its chip supply in 2027, CEO Lisa Su told reporters in Taipei on Tuesday, while admitting that demand is still running ahead of what the company can ship. Su is on her third trip to Taiwan this year, meeting partners such as Foxconn, Quanta, Acer, and ASUS, with TSMC also on the schedule. She is reportedly heading to South Korea later this week to sit down with memory suppliers Samsung and SK Hynix. Here's what she said:

We've been able to increase our supply as we've gone through 2026, and we're going to substantially increase our supply in 2027, but we can definitely use more. There's very, very high demand for the next several years. We can see very high demand, and so we need more advanced wafer capacity.

Buying a used Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU has apparently locked its new owner out of Valorant. Reddit user After-Cartoonist-196 posted on r/PCBaumeister that they bought the chip through the German classifieds site Kleinanzeigen and have owned it since September 21. The CPU apparently works fine. However, Valorant kicked them out at launch, even though the game ran normally on their previous processor. Riot support reportedly told them the CPU's ID was blacklisted in Vanguard on August 12 because the previous owner had cheated. The user also claims their motherboard and storage drive got flagged, and that support refused to lift the ban. However, Riot's head of anti-cheat, Phillip Koskinas, responded on X and disputed part of that. Here's what he posted:

Hardware bans last 4 months maximum, they apply only to the game cheats were detected in, and we don't ban "everything else" when we match one component. Support will give you the time remaining on request. If it were up to me, we'd have soul bans that followed them into hell.

An engineering sample of AMD's never-released Ryzen 9 5900X3D has surfaced on the Chinese forum Chiphell, and it looks quite different from the prototype AMD has shown before. The 12-core, 24-thread Zen 3 chip carries the code 100-000000652 and reports 128 MB of L3 cache, split as 96 MB on one CCD and 32 MB on the other. That means only one of its two six-core chiplets has the 64 MB 3D V-Cache stack. The Ryzen 9 5900X3D and 5950X3D prototypes that AMD showed to Gamers Nexus in 2023 had cache stacked on both CCDs, for 192 MB in total. The single-stack layout apparently lets the chip clock higher. CPU-Z screenshots from the owner show it running at around 4.7 GHz with a 105 W TDP, while the dual-stack 5900X3D topped out at a 4.4 GHz boost.

Getting it to boot took some effort, though. The sample reportedly refuses to work on current BIOS versions and only started with an older one carrying SMU firmware 56.70.0. The owner has apparently asked ASRock to add support in a newer BIOS. At retail, the Zen 3 X3D lineup started with the eight-core Ryzen 7 5800X3D in 2022 and never included a dual-CCD chip. Interestingly, the one-CCD approach seen here is the same one AMD later used for its Ryzen 9 X3D chips on AM5, before the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition put cache on both chiplets this year. AMD hasn't confirmed anything about this sample, of course, but it's interesting to see from an archival standpoint.

ASRock, the global leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, mini PCs, gaming monitors, power supply units, and AIO liquid coolers, today announced that the DeskSlim X600 and DeskSlim B760 compact desktop platforms support NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF Edition and NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell professional graphics cards.

Designed for professional users who require desktop-class expandability in a space-saving form factor, the DeskSlim series features a PCIe 5.0 x16 expansion slot that supports a low-profile, dual-slot graphics card up to 200 mm in length. In a compact 5L chassis, the systems can be configured for AI-assisted workflows, content creation, 3D visualization, engineering applications, and data analysis.

AnandTech forum user SixPie has spotted a previously unknown AMD codename, Gainsborough, in the Adrenalin 26.9.2 driver, and it may be the chip for Valve's Steam Deck 2. Import and export records show test equipment carrying the name was shipped to Asia several times in late July, and that it uses an FF6 BGA package with 1,179 contacts. AMD's partners who know about the Medusa APUs reportedly have no information on it, which would make sense for a custom part.

As for the Steam Deck 2 link, the name is the main clue. Valve's Steam Deck chips have used Final Fantasy VII codenames such as Aerith and Sephiroth before, and Gainsborough is Aerith's surname, as leaker Kepler_L2 pointed out. Separately, Moore's Law Is Dead claims it's a semi-custom APU built on TSMC N3P with Zen 6 and RDNA 5, possibly arriving in late 2027 or 2028, but none of that is confirmed. Moreover, there are reasons to be cautious. Leakers have reportedly tied the same FF6 package to AMD's upcoming Ryzen Z3 handheld chips, so there's conflicting information about who the customer really is.

Gigabyte, a global leader in computer hardware, today announced the Gigabyte AI TOP 100 B850, a high-performance desktop engineered to bring workstation-class AI compute directly to the deskside. Designed to reduce cloud dependence and lower the barriers to local deployment, the system enables businesses, developers, and researchers to run advanced AI workloads locally, giving them greater control over sensitive data and AI infrastructure while reducing reliance on cloud and token-based services.

Built for Next-Generation AI Development
At the heart of the Gigabyte AI TOP 100 B850 is the 16-core, 32-thread AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor, delivering the performance required for modern AI workloads ranging from local LLM fine-tuning and generative AI to deep learning research and agentic AI. The system comes equipped with 128 GB of DDR5 memory and a 2 TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, providing ample capacity and high-speed access for large datasets, local model storage, and complex development environments.

Framework officially launched pre-orders for its AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495-powered Desktop mini PCs on September 30, as previously announced. Launch pricing started at $6,799 for the DIY Edition with 192 GB of unified memory and no pre-installed storage. A pre-built version with a 2 TB NVMe 4.0 SSD and Fedora Linux pre-installed comes with a $7,449 price tag.

It was revealed hours before launch that the OEM would only be offering one batch of the new Desktop SKU due to limited RAM quantities. Despite the eye-watering price, the first batch of Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 mini PCs sold out within hours of the start of pre-orders. However, in a post on X, Framework confirmed that it had managed to secure another batch of RAM for the Gorgon Halo systems, and it subsequently opened a second limited batch of pre-orders, which remain available at the time of writing and are slated to start shipping in November. Framework added in a separate post on X that prices for the Framework Desktop PC will only increase in the coming months.

Minisforum launched an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070-powered AtomMan G7 Pro mini PC in January 2026, and the brand has just announced the latest iteration in the AtomMan line-up, the AtomMan G1 Pro-89A6, which is now available with the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU with 16 GB of VRAM. The G1 Pro-89A6 is built on AMD's Ryzen 9 8945HX, a mobile CPU with 16 cores and 32 threads and a maximum boost clock of 5.4 GHz. Pricing on the RX 9060 XT mini PC starts at $1,759 during the launch promotion, with the MSRP jumping to $2,199 after that ends. The only configuration available has 32 GB of DDR5-5200 memory, which is upgradeable via SODIMM slots, and a 1 TB M.2 PCIe SSD.

The chassis of the new AtomMan G1 Pro-89A6 measures in at just 3.8 L, which is made all the more impressive by the 140 W TGP of its dGPU and its built-in 350 W PSU—which means no external power brick cluttering up whatever space the mini PC ends up in. The CPU and GPU are cooled by what appear to be two separate cooling solutions, with five copper heat pipes between them and each with its own exhaust vents. The CPU is cooled by a single-fan blower-style cooler, and the GPU is cooled by a triple-fan setup. The PSU also has its own compartmentalized cooling system. Although Minisforum hasn't specified what fans it's using, it claims to be using silent fans that spin at up to 3,600 RPM.
