- SNUNIT AX835-025FF Mini PC PCATH A PACIER A RYZEN AI MAX + 395 With 128 GB LPDDR5X-8000
- The potential of Strix Halo shines despite the first optimization challenges
- The big brands are lagging behind while Chinese manufacturers lead the adoption of Stix Halo
The Chinese brand less known Sdunited launched the AX835-025FF, a laptop mini PC powered by Ryzen AI Max + 395 AMD with 128 GB of LPDDR5X-8000 memory.
This Zen 5 to 16 core processor and 32-Thread operates at 5.1 GHz and is associated with a GPU of 40 Cu Radeon 8060s, which should operate in a similar way to a RTX 4060, making it a decent PC for photo editing.
Small brands, especially those of China, lead to the adoption of the Strix Halo chip in compact devices. While large companies like Asus, Framework and HP have joined the APU in workstations, they have not yet explored the mini compact and high performance.
Takes care of a failure of 14 ports, but not oculink
The AX835-025FF has an impressive 14 ports, providing flexibility to professional workloads and strengthening its potential as one of the The most powerful computers in his class.
However, it lacks Oculink, which would have enabled an external expansion of the GPU.
Unlike traditional ultra-compact PCs modeled after Nuc 4×4 of Intel, this system is slightly larger but remains significantly smaller than most desktops.
It also includes an integrated power supply and a double fan cooling system designed to manage its 120 W electrical consumption.
The Ryzen AI Max + 395 sample undergoes an engineering sample and occasional power fluctuations, ranging from 140 W to 10W under load.
Nevertheless, it presents the potential of Stix Halo and the final retail version should improve optimization, stability and energy efficiency.
