AMD plans to release its first-party mini PC, the Ryzen AI Halo, in June, according to information shared at its AI DevDay event in San Francisco. The device was originally introduced at CES 2026 in January and is designed as a platform for AI developers. It was demonstrated on stage by Jack Huynh.
Photos and details from the event were shared on Reddit by user 1ncehost, who claimed to have attended. The images show Huynh holding the mini PC, with key specifications visible on a display behind him. The post states that Huynh confirmed a June launch window but did not reveal pricing.
The Halo will be powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395, the flagship system-on-chip in the Strix Halo lineup. This processor is already used in several high-performance Copilot+ laptops and mini PCs from manufacturers such as Asus, HP, and Acer. The unit demonstrated at DevDay featured 128 GB of unified memory, ran Ubuntu, and included a programmable RGB light strip on the front.
AMD is targeting local AI workloads with this platform, focusing on optimization for tools such as LM Studio, ComfyUI, and Visual Studio Code.
The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 includes 15 Zen 5 CPU cores and 32 threads, with a base frequency of 3 GHz and a boost clock of up to 5.1 GHz. It features an integrated Radeon 8060S GPU built on RDNA 3.5 with 40 compute units, as well as an XDNA 2 NPU capable of delivering 50 TOPS of AI performance. The processor has 64 MB of L3 cache, a default TDP of 55 W, and supports quad-channel 256-bit LPDDR5X memory at up to 8,000 MT/s. It is manufactured by TSMC using a 4 nm process.
Mini PCs powered by the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 are already available online. For instance, the GMKtec EVO-X2, which includes 96 GB of LPDDR5X memory and 2 TB of storage, is listed on Amazon for $2,349. In comparison, Nvidia’s DGX Spark is priced at $4,699 for a configuration with 128 GB of RAM and 4 TB of storage.
Opinions on AMD’s entry into the mini PC market are mixed. Some potential customers question the demand for a first-party device, while others feel it should have launched sooner following the Strix Halo announcement. Others point out that increased competition could encourage lower prices from third-party vendors.
