New Peladn mini-PC releases with AMD Strix Halo and up to 96 GB VRAM; already being sold globally
Earlier this year, we reviewed the Peladn HO5 mini-PC powered by AMD's Strix Point platform (curr. $999 on Amazon). In the months before that, Peladn released the WO-4 with a slower AMD Ryzen APU. Additionally, the company launched the Link S-3 eGPU dock with Thunderbolt 5 connectivity.
Now, it has returned with a new mini-PC called the YO2. For the time being, the Peladn YO2 is only available in China. However, the company tends to offer its mini-PCs globally at some stage. Whether that will occur with the YO2 remains unconfirmed for now. Unofficially, the mini-PC can be picked up on AliExpress for over $3,200.
Setting that aside, the YO2 is far more powerful than the HO5 we reviewed in February, thanks to its Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU. While this Strix Halo processor is found in many other high-end mini-PCs, Peladn claims that the YO2 can push the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 to 160 W in performance mode.
To that end, the company has included a triple-fan setup and three heatpipes, which contribute to the YO2's 1.85 kg overall weight. Moreover, the mini-PC measures 246 x 193 x 92 mm and contains three M.2 2280 slots, as well as multiple ports. Pricing starts at CNY 21,999 (~$3,249) in China with 2 TB of storage and 128 GB of LPDDR5X RAM running at 8,000 MT/s, 96 GB of which should be assignable as VRAM to its Radeon 8060S iGPU.
