Acemagic has announced the F9A AI Mini Workstation at IFA 2026 in Berlin. It is a compact desktop PC that takes design cues from the Mac Studio and is powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI Max platform for local AI, content creation, and other demanding workloads.
The company has revealed two versions of the F9A. One uses the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with Radeon 8060S graphics and up to 128GB of LPDDR5X memory, while the higher-end F9A PRO 495 gets the newer Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, Radeon 8065S graphics, and up to 192GB of LPDDR5X-8533 unified memory. Both fit inside a roughly 2-liter aluminum chassis measuring 158.5 x 158.5 x 81.5mm.
Ryzen AI Max brings plenty of CPU and GPU power
The Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 is built on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture and has 16 cores and 32 threads, 80MB of cache, and boost speeds of up to 5.2GHz. AMD allows the chip to operate at up to 120W, while its NPU is rated for 55 TOPS and total system AI performance reaches 131 TOPS.
The Radeon 8065S has 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units running at up to 3GHz. Notebookcheck currently places its performance between an RTX 4060 and RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, depending on the game or benchmark. The publication also notes that performance should remain fairly close to the Radeon 8060S, since the newer GPU mainly raises the clock speed from 2.9GHz to 3GHz.
The huge memory pool is built for local AI
The F9A’s unified memory architecture lets the CPU, Radeon graphics, and AI hardware access the same memory pool. That matters for large local models, which can quickly exceed the dedicated VRAM available on conventional consumer graphics cards.
AMD says a Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 system with 192GB can assign as much as 160GB to graphics memory, enough to run models with more than 300 billion parameters at 4-bit quantization. Actual performance will depend on the model, software, and configuration.
Ports include two USB4 connections, dual 2.5Gb Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, and OCuLink over PCIe 4.0 x4. Acemagic currently lists one M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD slot supporting up to 4TB.
