MINIX is all set to launch its next-generation AI-powered mini PCs — the ER937-AI and ER936-AI — today on August 12. The company reached out to Neowin with a press release on the two mini PCs, in which it stated saying their compact design with flagship-level performance to handle complex tasks effortlessly, aims to "redefine industry standards" for powerful AI computing and high-efficiency task handling, "unlocking endless possibilities" for professionals, gamers, and content creators alike.
The ER937-AI and ER936-AI are said to embody MINIX"s commitment to innovation by integrating advanced AI processing, robust graphics, and enterprise-grade reliability into a small form factor, which is more portable and easier to install compared to traditional desktops and excels in versatility and power.
“Our new mini PCs prove that size is no barrier to performance,” said the founder of MINIX.
MINIX shared a few highlights of the two offerings, starting with the ER937-AI:
- AI & Processing: AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (12 cores, 24 threads, up to 5.1GHz) + Ryzen AI NPU (dual-engine, 80 TOPS total), enabling lightning-fast AI task processing.
- Graphics: AMD Radeon 890M GPU for faster processing of complex tasks and stunning visuals in gaming, 3D rendering, and content creation.
- Seamless Connectivity: Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 (2.4GHz/5GHz/6GHz), Bluetooth 5.4, and dual RJ-45 2.5G Ethernet ports for ultra-fast, lag-free networking.
- Fingerprint Unlock: Windows Hello for instant unlocking and high security.
Then there is the slightly less powerful ER936-AI:
- AI & Processing: AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (10 cores, 20 threads, up to 5.0GHz) + Ryzen AI NPU (dual-engine, 73 TOPS total), enabling fast AI-driven applications.
- Graphics: AMD Radeon 880M GPU for smooth, high-quality graphics performance in gaming and creative tasks.
