Zotac launches new 2.65-liter mini PCs with powerful AMD Strix Halo APUs and up to 128 GB RAM
Zotac has expanded its Zbox lineup with the new Magnus EAMAX series of mini PCs. Like several recent mini PCs, Zotac has equipped the new lineup with AMD's Strix Halo APUs, which offer significantly more CPU horsepower than the Intel Core Ultra chips used in the Magnus One and Magnus EN. That said, the Magnus EAMAX series will be offered in three SKUs, with configurations scaling up to the Ryzen AI MAX+ 395.
At the top of the lineup is the Magnus EAMAX395C with the Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 and 128 GB of onboard LPDDR5X-8000 memory. With 16 cores and 32 threads, up to 126 TOPS of AI performance, and the Radeon RX 8060S integrated GPU, this model should offer ample headroom for 1080p gaming and AI workloads. We found the Radeon RX 8060S iGPU to deliver performance similar to a GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU in our Asus ROG Flow Z13 review, so users should have no trouble running most games at 1080p here. Other variants include the EAMAX390C with the Ryzen AI MAX 390 and the EAMAX385C with the Ryzen AI MAX 385.
The Magnus EAMAX mini PCs come in the same compact 2.65-liter chassis as the Magnus EN. The system measures 210 × 203 × 62.2 mm and includes triple M.2 slots (PCIe 4.0x4), dual 2.5 GbE Ethernet ports, and Wi-Fi 7. For I/O, all variants offer one USB4 40 Gbps port, five USB-A 3.2 ports, two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and a headphone/microphone combo jack.
Zotac will offer the Magnus EAMAX lineup either as a barebones kit or as a fully configured system with a 1 TB NVMe SSD and preinstalled Windows 11 OS. Pricing and availability details have not been announced yet.
