ACEMAGIC introduced the F9A, a 2-liter mini PC that brings AMD's high-end Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor to a compact form factor. This release matters because it packs workstation-class AI performance into a chassis small enough to fit on a desk without dominating the workspace. Users who need substantial local AI compute power can now access it in a significantly smaller footprint than traditional desktop towers.

The system relies on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 'Strix Halo' processor, which features a 16-core Zen 5 CPU and RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics. It also includes an XDNA 2 NPU capable of up to 50 TOPS of AI compute, bringing the total system compute to 126 TOPS. This hardware combination targets users who require heavy multitasking and local AI processing capabilities in a single unit.
Specifications
- Processor: AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 (16-Core / 32-Thread Zen 5, RDNA 3.5 Integrated Graphics)
- AI Compute: XDNA 2 NPU (up to 50 TOPS); 126 TOPS total system compute
- Memory: Up to 128 GB LPDDR5X-8000 unified memory
- Storage: Dual M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe slots
- High-Speed Expansion: 1x Oculink (PCIe 4.0 x4), 2x USB4 40 Gbps
Memory configurations support up to 128 GB of LPDDR5X-8000 unified memory, which helps feed the high-bandwidth demands of the integrated GPU and NPU. Storage is handled by dual M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe slots, allowing for fast data access and flexible capacity expansion. The chassis is built from CNC-machined aerospace aluminum with an anodized finish available in silver or space gray.
Connectivity options include an OCuLink port for PCIe 4.0 x4 expansion, two USB4 ports running at 40 Gbps, and Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4. The rear I/O panel features an HDMI 2.1 output, two 2.5 GbE Ethernet ports, three USB-A 10 Gbps ports, an SD 4.0 card reader, and a 3.5mm audio jack. A dedicated physical button on the chassis allows users to launch Windows Copilot directly.
ACEMAGIC states the system can operate at up to 140W, though the company has not clarified if this limit applies to the processor alone or the entire system. Pricing and specific release dates have not been announced, but availability is expected in the coming weeks. The F9A represents a new option for users seeking high-performance mini PCs with modern AI accelerators.
