High-end mini workstations now have a new contender for local AI tasks, offering desktop-class performance in a compact form factor. The Lingchuang Mini Pro from COLORFIRE targets users who need significant memory bandwidth for running large language models without the cost and power draw of a discrete graphics card. This shift allows professionals to deploy heavy AI inference directly on their desk, removing the dependency on cloud services or bulky server hardware.
High-end mini workstation targets local AI inference with massive unified memory pool
The system is built around the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor, which combines 16 Zen 5 cores with 32 threads and a maximum boost clock of 5.2 GHz. This chip integrates the Radeon 8065S graphics engine, which utilizes 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units to handle display and compute workloads. An XDNA 2 NPU complements the CPU and GPU by delivering up to 55 TOPS of artificial intelligence performance.
Specifications
- Processor: AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 (16 Zen 5 cores, 32 threads, up to 5.2 GHz boost)
- Memory: Up to 192GB unified LPDDR5X-8533
- GPU: Radeon 8065S (40 RDNA 3.5 CUs)
- NPU: XDNA 2, up to 55 TOPS
- TDP: 45W to 120W configurable
Memory configuration is the standout feature of this build, supporting up to 192GB of unified LPDDR5X-8533 RAM. The architecture allows as much as 160GB of that total memory to be allocated specifically to the integrated GPU. This high-bandwidth unified pool ensures that large AI models can fit entirely in system memory, avoiding the bottlenecks associated with separate VRAM pools.
AMD specifies a configurable thermal design power ranging from 45W to 120W, allowing manufacturers to balance performance against cooling requirements. The system is currently available in China through COLORFIRE's official JD store. We looked at JIMOKE EVO-X3 Mini PC to Feature earlier while tracking Colorfire launches, noting similar memory ambitions in the mini PC segment.
Pricing for the comparable Lingchuang K16 laptop is listed at 34,999 CNY (around $5,204), with global pricing estimated at approximately $5,220 USD. While specific launch dates for the Mini Pro are not yet confirmed, the hardware is already in circulation in the Chinese market. Buyers interested in this specific configuration should monitor official COLORFIRE channels for exact availability windows.
