Geekom has announced the A9 MEGA, a compact mini pc driven by AMD Ryzen Ai Max+ 395.
For those who follow up, this is the twenty -product so far that this 16 -core and 32 thread Strix Halo chip will present, and we are still waiting for Dell to show us what he could do.
Geekom is taking the Mega A9 to the market through Kickstarter. It is planned that prices begin around $ 1,899, and although Geekom is an established name, sponsors must be aware that crowdfunding is not exempt from risks.
Many ports
If you prefer to wait until the product arrives at the Geekom store, there are many possibilities that it does not cost too much more than the Kickstarter price, since the company often discounts its products shortly after the launch. For example, the Geekom A9 Max, which runs an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX370, is generally priced at $ 1,299, but is currently available for $ 999.
The aluminum body mechanized by CNC of A9 mega measures 171x171x71 mm. Inside, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 includes Radeon 8060 graphics and an NPU XDNA 2 capable of 126 tops.
With support for up to 128 GB of memory LPDDR5x 8000MHz, the integrated GPU can act as an accelerator with a large shared group for AI models as stable or flame diffusion.
The system can house two SSDS M.2 PCIE 4.0, providing up to 8TB of storage.
The cooling is managed by Iceblast 5.0, which uses dual fans, copper heat pipes and thermal controls to maintain a 120W TDP.
Geekom says that the CPU, the GPU and the NPU can work in the peak simultaneously without strangulation, and the wireless support includes Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.
Connectivity is what you can expect for a system of this size. The front includes two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 type C for data, an SD card slot and an entertaining fingerprint sensor power button.
On the back, there are two USB4 type-C ports that support 40 Gbps with Displayport 2.1, two HDMI 2.1 frl, two 2.5GB Ethernet cats, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 type A, a USB 2.0, a 3.5 mm headphone connector and CC feeding input.
The Mega A9 is preloaded with Windows 11 Pro and is compatible with Linux, since Geekom positions it as an alternative to traditional work stations and Apple’s Mac Studio.
While details about broader availability are still unknown, the A9 Mega Mini PC seems an option capable of compact workloads and creative use cases.
