VZMORE Mini PCs bring Panther Lake and Strix Halo to compact cases

VZMORE is expanding its lineup with three new mini PCs that bring high-end desktop processors to compact cases. This move matters because it gives users access to powerful and silicon in a form factor that fits on a desk without the bulk of a traditional tower. The systems target enthusiasts who need serious computing power but have limited space.

VZMORE debuts three new mini PCs with high-end Intel and AMD processors

The lineup features distinct models based on the latest processor generations from both major chipmakers. The Intel option is the iX9 Ultra, which uses the Core Ultra X9 378H from the Panther Lake family. On the AMD side, the AX9 Max utilizes the AI 9 HX 470, known as Gorgon Point, while the flagship AX9 Ultra runs on the Ryzen AI Max+ 388 Strix Halo chip.

Spec iX9 Ultra AX9 Max AX9 Ultra
Processor Core Ultra X9 378H Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 Ryzen AI Max+ 388
Cores 16 (4P+8E+4LP) 12 (4 Zen 5 + 8 Zen 5c) 8 Zen 5
Graphics Intel Arc B390 Radeon 890M Radeon 8060S (40 CUs)
Cooling V-Cooling vapor chamber V-Cooling vapor chamber V-Cooling vapor chamber

Technical specifications vary significantly across the models to suit different performance needs. The Intel Core Ultra X9 378H offers 16 cores with a boost up to 5.0 GHz and integrated Arc B390 graphics. The AMD Gorgon Point chip provides 12 cores and 890M graphics. The top-tier Strix Halo processor includes eight Zen 5 cores and a robust Radeon 8060S graphics configuration with 40 compute units.

VZMORE equips all three systems with a V-Cooling design that uses a vapor chamber to manage heat. The company claims this setup provides 40% more heat-spreading area and 50% higher heat-transfer efficiency than conventional dual-heat-pipe cooling. The AX9 Ultra can be tuned to draw up to 120W through a V-Boost Max setting. Selected configurations are claimed to operate at a quiet 38 dB under load.

VZMORE will debut these systems at ShowStoppers during IFA 2026 before a global launch in mid-October 2026. Pricing details have not yet been released for the iX9 Ultra, AX9 Max, or AX9 Ultra models. Buyers will need to wait for the October release to see the final costs and configuration options.
