Minisforum presents a brand new mini-computer geared up with a Ryzen 9 7945HX3D. In addition to the processor, which guarantees to be formidable, the machine additionally options an exterior GPU slot for mounting the graphics card. In quick, it appears to be like completely loopy!
A Ryzen 9 7945HX3D and an exterior GPU for the Minisforum mini-PC!
For the second, the machine in query doesn’t have an actual identify, however we already know that this configuration might be accompanied by a big cellular CPU. In truth, we’re speaking a couple of massive Ryzen 9 7945HX3D, the most important laptop computer processor at the moment obtainable within the AMD vary.
For the document, this CPU incorporates a complete of 16 Zen 4 cores and 32 threads. The chip operates at 2.3 GHz as customary, however could be boosted to five.4 GHz with a configurable TDP between 55W and 75W. It additionally boasts 3D V-Cache reminiscence, with the quantity of L3 Cache rising to 128 MB!
Intel-based configurations will even be provided, with machines geared up with a Core i9 13980HX. With a TDP of 55W, this mannequin options 24 cores (8x P-Core and 16x E-Core), all operating at a most of 5.6 GHz.

The entire bundle is constructed round an ITX motherboard with the processor soldered on… Yes, it’s a BGA CPU. Minisforum additionally mentions a CPU with a TDP of 100W, a mannequin whose energy consumption restrict has been prolonged? Perhaps. In any case, it’s value remembering that every one this suits right into a 6l case.
Otherwise, we will’t overlook the exterior interface for the graphics card. The latter seems to sit down on high of the case, however is plugged right into a PCIe slot. A steel bracket screwed to the chassis appears to carry it in place. It stays to be seen what we’ll be capable of placed on it, however it appears to be like very fascinating!
