Chinese tech company Thunderobot has launched its new Mini
PC, the Mix Neo. This compact desktop is based on Intel’s Lunar Lake
architecture and is powered by a Core Ultra 7 256V processor. The company has
designed it specifically with AI-related tasks in mind, offering up to 115 TOPS
(trillion operations per second) of AI computing power. Additionally, the Mini
PC comes with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, Intel Arc graphics, and options for up to
1TB of SSD storage. It starts at a price of 4,499 yuan.
The Thunderobot Mix Neo is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra
7 256V processor, which includes an integrated 8-core Intel Arc 140V GPU
featuring 8 Xe2 cores, with a clock speed reaching up to 1,950MHz. It includes
16GB of LPDDR5X-8533 RAM; however, since this RAM is integrated directly into
the processor package, it cannot be upgraded later. For storage, the base model
comes with a 512GB PCIe 3.0 SSD, while another variant offers a 1TB PCIe 4.0
SSD. It also features two M.2 2280 slots, allowing users to add extra SSD
storage if needed.
Regarding AI features, the company states that the processor
can deliver up to 115 TOPS of INT8 performance. It also includes 'FlowyAIPC'
software and the 'Herdsman' local AI inference engine. These tools enable users
to run Large Language Models (LLMs) and image generation software directly on
the system. In terms of design, it measures 128 x 128 x 53.5mm and weighs
approximately 480 grams. It features a 40Gbps USB-C port, two 10Gbps USB-A
ports, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and two 2.5GbE Ethernet ports. Additionally,
it supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4. The company claims that the fan produces
about 29.5dBA of noise under full load. It also includes a VESA mount, allowing
it to be attached to the back of a monitor.
The Thunderobot Mix Neo is currently available for purchase
in China via JD.com. The 512GB storage variant is priced at 4,499 yuan
(approximately 63,400 rupees), while the 1TB storage model is priced at 4,999
yuan (approximately 70,500 rupees).
