- Corsair Workstation 300 Place 128 GB of RAM in a chassis smaller than a shoe box
- Integrated graphics can stop it from real -time representation or accelerated GPU production work
- 50 NPU tops suggests a serious AI muscle inside a mislead
Corsair has introduced the AI Workstation 300, a mini PC built around the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor of AMD, positioning it as a PC of high performance work station for professionals and developers of AI.
With less than $ 2000, it is in a competitive space where expectations are high for both gross yield and long -term reliability.
This unit marks the 13th system to present the Ryzen Ai Max+ 365 series, following other systems such as HP Z2 Mini G1A and GMKTEC EVO-X2, which suggests a growing interest in the last silicon of AMD integrated.
The small form factor offers a large hardware of memory, storage and AI
This system comes in a 4.4L form factor, which is considered portable in relation to other Strix Halo devices in the market.
It is a small memory size of 128 GB of LPDDR5x memory, a 1 TB NVME SSD and the Integrated Radeon 8060 graphics with support for up to 96 GB of dynamic wind.
While these specifications seem promising on paper, the use of integrated graphics for a work station PC poses questions about its capacity for GPU-Pesa tasks, such as real-time 3D representation or high-resolution video edition.
Developers and engineers focused on AI inference or code -based workflows can find it adequate, but creative professionals who depend on the discreet acceleration of GPU could be more cautious.
Corsair states that the device is ready for local LLM, development assisted by AI and creative work, backed by a neural processing unit (NPU) capable of up to 50 acceleration tops.
The Corsair AI software suite includes improving its ability to AI, but own proprietary tools kits face adoption and compatibility obstacles outside the well -controlled workflows.
Thermal management is handled by a double fan cooling system, which could help maintain stable performance in a well -packed chassis.
The 350W power supply also seems sufficient for its components, although it leaves little space for future expansion.
The I/O selection is more extensive than one could expect from a system of this size, including USB 4.0, an SD and 2.5G Ethernet card reader.
This device, which comes with a two -year guarantee and technical support for life, is currently at an advance order and will begin to send in September 2025.
