80 TOPS In A Tiny Package

The capabilities of tiny computers have come a long way from the original Celeron 847 powered NUC, as the ACEMAGIC F3A Mini PC proves.  It may measure a mere 6″ x  6″ x 2″ but the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 inside contains 12 cores, four full Zen 5 cores eight smaller Zen 5c cores which can boost up to 5.1 GHz.  In tandem with AMD’s AI flavoured CPU is the RDNA 3+ powered Radeon 890M with 16 CUs and 1024 unified shaders which can hit speeds up to 2.9GHz.  That will let you play many games at 1080p, or string together up to four adaptive sync 4K displays if you wanted to use it in that manner. 

The connectivity is every bit as modern as the internals, two USB 4 40Gbps, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps and 3 USB 2.0 ports accompany DP 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 outputs.  The device connects wirelessly via Realtek RTL8852BE WiFi 6, sadly not WiFi 7, but it also has 2.5G Ethernet ports to make up for that wee deficit.  The model Guru3D tested came with two 16GB DDR5-5600 DIMMs which can be upgraded to a maximum of 256GB, with an option to use LPDDR5x-8000 instead, as well as 1TB NVMe SSD with a second empty NVMe slot to make use of if you wish.  As both the DIMMs and SSD come from companies that aren’t exactly well known, HOGE and Rayson, you might want to swap them with your own preferred components.  That said Guru3D encountered no issues in their testing.

If you want a tiny gaming machine or to play with Llama 3.3 and DeepSeek models you should consider the ACEMAGIC F3A Mini PC as a possible solution.

ACEMAGIC F3A is a compact unit built for technical pros and multimedia specialists. It runs on an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor that mixes computational power with AI features, handling complex tasks like a breeze.

    How the hell can this thing hold 256GB of RAM?

    Even if it could, I wouldn’t trust something this size to be able to sustain the performance that would be needed for apps utilising that mcu!

      Basically no different than a laptop but with better cooling.

      What’s not to understand. There are 256GB DDR5 dimms, if the board can chipset can handle it, the system can handle it. As for use case, I’m sure there are several, specific scenarios call for specific hardware, and that’s why all this stuff has been modular since the Woz crated the Apple II.

      Correct me if I’m wrong, but a DDR5 ram-disk would still be faster than any dedicated storage device available to the consumer, would it not? 240gb is alot of space while saving 12gb for system operation, no?
