Minix intros affordable mini PC with new Intel processor
Minix has introduced a new affordable mini PC, the N304-AI. It's powered by the Intel Wildcat Lake platform, a new processor series, and the company has chosen the Core 3 304 CPU from the lineup. This is an entry-level option with a 5-core configuration and a basic Intel Xe3 iGPU.
The company says that with a total of 24 TOPS of rated AI performance (NPU + iGPU), this mini PC can handle some lightweight AI workloads. This entry-level Intel CPU is paired with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and the brand plans to offer a configuration with 512GB of PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD, which should be easily upgradeable (Samsung 990 Pro 1TB curr. $219.99 on Amazon).
There's a good selection of ports as well, with Minix confirming the following:
- 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C
- 1x HDMI 2.1
- 1x DisplayPort 1.4
- 2x Gigabit Ethernet
For wireless connectivity, the mini PC has Bluetooth 5.3 and WiFi 6. In the initial promotional pictures, the system can be seen with a rather slim chassis with a minimalistic overall design. Minix has yet to share pricing and availability details, but these pieces of information should be out soon.
