Minisforum shows mini PC with AMD Radeon RX 6650M laptop GPU
Minisforum has shown its first mini PC with a separate GPU from AMD with the HX90G. The computer will get AMD’s Radeon RX 6650M GPU and a Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU. Later there will be other versions with the laptop GPU, such as a version with Intel CPU. Prices are not yet known.
The HX90G gets a new 2.8 liter case, which has two fans and seven heat pipes. Three of those heatpipes are for the CPU, the rest is for the GPU. Minisforum claims that the mini PC will make ‘relatively little noise’ even with intensive use, but does not mention any figures. The mini PC will receive a 260W adapter, of which the cpu uses a maximum of 50W and the gpu uses 100W.
The AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor gets a base clock speed of 3.3GHz with a boost clock speed of up to 4.6GHz. The graphics card gets 8GB of GDDR6 memory. In addition, there are two 8GB Sodimm DDR4 memory cards and the HX90G gets a 512GB M.2-PCIe SSD. There is an additional M.2-2280 slot to expand this.
On the back are three USB3.2 ports, an Ethernet port, two HDMI and two DisplayPort ports. On the front are a 3.5mm port, a USB3.1 port and a USB-C port. The mini PC comes standard with Windows 11 Pro.
Prices and availability are not yet known. The HX90G will be released in Minisforum’s new Neptune Series, in which the company wants to place more mini PCs with separate GPUs. In addition to the Ryzen 9 5900HX variant, a Ryzen 9 6900HX version and an Intel Alder Lake mini PC, both with the Radeon RX 6650M laptop GPU, should also be released at a later date.
