Lenovo unveils mini PC with ARM chip and over 8,000 AI skills
Measuring 10 x 10 x 4.8 centimeters, the Lenovo AI Host Mini is even smaller than the Apple Mac mini ($769 on Amazon). But the standout feature of this small, black box is the processor inside: instead of using a chip from Intel, AMD, or Qualcomm, Lenovo has equipped it with a Cixin P1 CD8180 ARM chip.
This chip features twelve processor cores and a modern ARM Immortalis-G720 graphics chip with ten cores. It also comes with 8 GB of LPDDR5-6,000 RAM and a 256 GB SSD. Lenovo touts an AI performance of 45 TOPS. The Lenovo AI Host Mini is primarily marketed as a personal AI computer for consumers. To achieve this, Lenovo uses a combination of Ubuntu Linux and its proprietary Tianxi Claw platform.
The software is designed to provide access to over 20 so-called "skills" right out of the box, and more than 8,000 additional skills can be downloaded via a marketplace. Its performance is said to be sufficient to run multiple OpenClaw instances simultaneously, each of which can be accessed by multiple users. The mini PC features two USB-C ports, four USB-A ports, 2.5 Gbit/s Ethernet, as well as HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.4 for connecting monitors.
Pricing and availability
The Lenovo AI Host mini-PC will go on sale in China on July 1 for CNY 2,999 ($440) and will be available exclusively with 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. Lenovo has not yet confirmed any details regarding a possible international launch.
