Peladn Y01 debuts as new gaming mini PC with Ryzen AI Max+ 395

Peladn has introduced a brand-new gaming mini PC, the Y01. This new Strix Halo system doesn't have a release date yet, but the company teased that the launch is planned soon. Under the hood, it packs the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, the top-end APU from the lineup, and this APU features 16 Zen 5 cores.

It also brings the Radeon 8060S, the current most capable iGPU in the market. Per our analysis, this new RDNA 3.5 iGPU with 40 CUs can deliver a similar level of performance as the RTX 4070 Laptop, making mini PCs featuring it a good pick for 1080p to 1440p gaming.

While Peladn didn't go much into the details of the mini PC, it did share that the Y01 will pair the Strix Halo APU with 128 GB of LPDDR5X of memory. The teaser also gives a glimpse of the system's design, and it seems that there will be a decent selection of ports, including multiple USB-A and USB-C ports. However, it's not clear whether there's an OCuLink port, something that's missing from the GMK EVO-X2 but is present on the FEVM FA-EX9.

The teaser image further shows that the mini PC won't be as compact as some of the other mini PCs that are on the market. As a matter of fact, the form factor may match the GMK EVO-X2, which is comparatively less compact than the EVO-X1.

Pricing details are under wraps as well. However, given that the EVO-X2 made its global debut with a starting price tag of $1,499, the Peladn Y01 is expected to be quite expensive compared to the last-gen mini PCs.
