The Minisforum AI X1 Pro mini PC benefits significantly from a simple RAM upgrade. According to Notebookcheck, using dual-channel memory instead of single-channel can boost CPU performance by 5 to 15 percent depending on the workload. The integrated Radeon 890M graphics can see performance increases of over 100 percent with dual-channel RAM.
Dual-channel memory tested
The AI X1 Pro is powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 processor with 12 cores and 24 threads, running at up to 5.2 GHz. It features AMD Radeon 890M graphics and comes with 32 GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. Connectivity options include dual 2.5G LAN, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and OCuLink.
