FEVM has introduced the FAEX1, a 1-liter mini PC built around AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 ‘Strix Halo’ processor.
The system packs sixteen CPU cores and thirty-two threads into a small 220 x 133 x 35 mm chassis and supports up to 128 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory.
Despite the compact size, the FAEX1 is designed to deliver GPU performance on par with mobile-class 5060 series graphics, making it a rare choice for such a portable device.
Compact design with extensive connectivity
The FEVM FAEX1 mini PC comes with soldered memory in 64GB or 128GB options, so users cannot upgrade it.
Storage is supported by three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 2280 slots, one of which is shared with the external OCuLink 4i port.
The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU includes a Radeon 8060S GPU that offers performance comparable to an RTX 4070 laptop.
Also supports additional GPU expansion via OCuLink or USB4 ports.
Video output is available via HDMI, DisplayPort and USB4 with 15W power delivery, offering flexibility for multi-monitor setups or high-resolution work.
The FAEX1 includes an extensive I/O array, including two 40Gbps USB-C ports, two 10Gbps USB-A ports, and HDMI 2.1.
It also supports DisplayPort 2.0, an SD 4.0 card reader, a 3.5mm audio jack, and an OCuLink 4i connector.
Networking is via a Marvell AQC113 10GbE controller and a 2.5GbE RJ45 port.
For wireless connectivity, this device uses a MediaTek MT7925 Wi-Fi 7 card with Bluetooth 5.4.
Stereo speakers and a dual noise-canceling microphone array are included, supporting basic audio output without external devices.
The aluminum alloy casing, phase change thermal material and dual turbine fans allow FEVM to maintain a power target of 160W for the integrated CPU and GPU.
The FAEX1 is priced in China at 10,999 yuan for the 64GB RAM barebone version and 13,999 yuan for the 128GB version, which converts to approximately $1,550 and $1,970.
It joins the larger 2-liter FAEX9 in FEVM’s Strix Halo lineup and roughly halves the volume while maintaining similar power targets.
Currently, more than 30 mini PCs use the Strix Halo chip, and most are priced above $2,000.
Some models, like the GMKtec EVO-X2, sell for around $1,700, making the FAEX1’s $1,550 entry price one of the lowest in the segment.
