Corsair presents new mini-PCs with its AI Workstation 300 range. In simple terms, these are ultra-compact mini-computers powered by an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 300 processor. This announcement follows the launch of AMD’s latest processor, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395. The aim here is to offer maximum performance in the AI sector, all in a compact format!
AI Workstation 300: a compact workstation from Corsair starting at $1600!
With this series, the brand produces a range of machines measuring 96.5 (W) x 188.4 (D) x 247.5 (D) mm. Naturally, this is a compact package, all the more so as it features a CPU from the Ryzen AI Max+ 300 series. The smallest configuration features an AI Max 385 with eight cores, while the largest model is equipped with a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with sixteen cores.
In all cases, these machines are configurable and offer up to 128 GB of LPDDR5X-8000 RAM and 4 TB of SSD. Connectivity features a card reader coupled with USB4,USB-A in a variety of standards, and video outputs based on HDMI2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 connectors. For networking, we have, of course, an Ethernet socket driven by a 2.5 GbE network chip.
Prices are clearly not cheap, with an entry ticket at $1599.99. In contrast, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 version is priced at $1999.99 with 128 GB RAM. And if we push it to 4TB of storage, the bill rises to $2299.99. On the other hand, for these prices, we get PCs equipped with Corsair AI Software Suite, which includes Amuse AI, an image generator based on Stable Diffusion. An offline assistant based on the Llama 3 and Mistral models is also included. Now that all that’s said, it remains to be seen whether you need this type of machine or not.
