Corsair AI Workstation 300 mini-PC announced with AMD Strix Halo and liquid cooling

AMD's Strix Halo processors have been finding themselves in a wide range of devices of late. Sixunited showed off a laptop and a bare motherboard. GPD and Ayaneo unveiled the Win 5 and Next 2 as the world's first Strix Halo-powered handhelds. Now, Corsair has joined the fray with a more conventional form factor: a mini-PC.

The Corsair AI Workstation 300 has been revealed with two CPU options: AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and the less-often-seen Ryzen AI Max 385. The latter features eight Zen 5 CPU cores (vs 16) and a 32 CU Radeon 8050s iGPU (vs a 40 CU Radeon 8060s). The memory and storage depend on your choice of CPU.

If you opt for the Ryzen AI Max 395+, you can pair it with up to 128 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 4 TB of solid-state storage. The Ryzen AI Max 385 variant is restricted to 64 GB RAM and a 1 TB NVMe SSD. Corsair uses a 350-Watt PSU to power the AI Workstation 300. The extra power headroom should allow users to extract more performance out of their workstations.

The Corsair AI Workstation 300 is reasonably compact, measuring only 247.5 mm/9.7 in (height) x 188.4 mm/7.4 in (length) x 96.5 mm/3.8 in (width). It weighs 7 kg/15.4 lbs. The extra weight is likely due to Corsair's liquid cooler for the CPU and GPU. Unfortunately, it is hard to determine its exact nature because there are no shots of its internals.

For the front I/O, you get an SD card reader, a USB 4.0 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. At the back, there are two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, one HDMI 2.1 port, one DP 1.4 port, one USB 3.2 Type-A port, one USB 4.0 port, a 2.5 Gbps RJ45 Ethernet jack and a second 3.5 mm audio jack.

The base Corsair AI Workstation 300 variant (Ryzen AI Max 385) will set you back by $1,599. Upgrading to the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 costs $1,999, and adding extra storage (4 TB) costs $2,299. You can buy it now from Corsair's website.
