Aoostar teases new gaming mini PC powered by AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395

Aoostar has officially teased a new gaming mini PC, the Nex395. While not much about the system has been revealed, the company has confirmed that it will be powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395. It's a top-end APU from the Strix Halo lineup featuring 16 Zen 5 cores.

This Strix Halo APU also brings a very capable Radeon 8060S iGPU, and per AMD, this integrated graphics can outperform the Nvidia RTX 4070 Laptop. So, it's safe to say that the upcoming Aoostar Nex395 will be capable of offering decent gaming performance at the 1080p and 1440p resolutions.

In the teaser, Aoostar notes that the upcoming gaming mini PC will be equipped with up to 128 GB of RAM, which will eventually make the Nex395 capable of locally running large AI models. The photo shared in the teaser offers a glimpse of the system, and it shows that there will be a decent port configuration.

To be specific, the teaser image shows that the front of the Nex395 will feature one USB Type-C port, while the back will sport the following:

• 1x HDMI
• 1x DisplayPort
• 4x USB Type-A
• 1x USB Type-C
• 2x Ethernet

The USB Type-C ports on the mini PC are USB4 ports, and Aoostar didn't mention anything about the system featuring an OCuLink port. As for the design, the teaser shows a slim and compact chassis with an easy-access door to the SSD slots (2 TB WD_BLACK SN7100 curr. $139 on Amazon).

There's no word on the price of the Aoostar Nex395. However, it's worth noting that the GMKtec Evo-X2 with the same Strix Halo APU starts at $1,499 in the global market.
