Acemagic upgrades its affordable K5 mini PC with faster Intel configuration

Acemagic announced the K5 as an affordable mini PC that features the Intel Core 5 320. However, at launch, the system was available with a different Wildcat Lake processor.

Specifically, the mini PC was initially available with the Core 3 304, an entry-level processor from the series. It has a 5-core CPU configuration, and Acemagic paired it up with 12GB of RAM.

Now, the Core 5 320 configuration is available and is somewhat better than the previous one. To be precise, it brings a slightly more capable 6-core CPU configuration and has a 16 TOPS NPU instead of the 15 TOPS one found on the Core 3 304.

Another notable highlight is that Acemagic has paired this Intel Wildcat Lake processor with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, an upgrade over the 12GB memory found on the previous configuration. The 2-core Xe3 iGPU should also make the Core 5 320 version of the mini PC slightly more capable in terms of handling GPU-bound workloads.

As for the other aspects of the new configuration, they are pretty much the same as the launch option. For instance, the Core 5 320 mini PC has the same 0.67-liter chassis that brings a relatively rich port selection. There are two M.2 slots (Kingston NV3 2TB curr. $278.95 on Amazon), and with the 2.5GbE port, the Acemagic K5 stands as a solid pick for a home media server.

Other highlights include WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and triple 4K display output support. The Intel Core 5 320 configuration of the mini PC is available with a 512GB SSD, and on the official website, it's currently listed at $499. Check out the pictures below to learn more about the Acemagic K5.
