Your neural processing unit (NPU) offers 50 TOPSand so on GPU integrada Arc B390 account with 12 Xe3 cores.

The system has built-in LPDDR5x memorywhich operates at 9600 MT/s. This technology results in a 20% performance gain and a 50% reduction in energy consumption compared to previous generations.

For storage, there are two ports for Gen4 SSD drives. The total artificial intelligence capacity of the set reaches 180 TOPS.

O cabinet has a volume of 0.7 liters and includes a cooling system with two fans. Its design allows component updates without the need for tools. For those interested, the dimensions are incredible 144 x 117 x 42 millimeters.

Leaving for ASUS Mini PC connectivitythe model offers:

• 2x USB 3.2 Gen2 ports;
• 1x porta USB 3.2 Gen2x2;
• 2x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C ports;
• 2x ports of LAN 2.5 GbE;
• 2x HDMI 2.1 ports (which can be configured as two DisplayPort ports) and 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports.

No less important and to conclude this segment, the wireless support is Wi-Fi 7 e Bluetooth 6.0ensuring compatibility with modern devices.

The line ExpertCenter PN55 dASUS adopts the AMD Ryzen AI 400 processors. The best of all is the Ryzen AI 9 HX 470, with 12 Zen 5 cores. NPU reaches 55 TOPS, and the integrated Radeon 890M GPU It has 16 RDNA 3.5 cores. Support is for up to 96 GB of DDR5 memory at 5600 MT/s.

On the front, the mini PC features a digital print readerl, audio connector, dedicated key for the Copilotpower button, two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports and one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C port.

At the rear, there are two DisplayPort 1.4 ports, one HDMI 2.1 port, one USB 2.0 Type-A port, one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A port, one USB4 Type-C portDC power connector and two 2.5GbE LAN network ports. Wireless connectivity is Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.40.

New V700 and V500 series compact desktops

Parallel to mini PCsASUS also updated its lines of compact desktop computersseries V700 e V500. These systems use mobile processors in MoDT type projects (Mobile on Desktop).

The V700 model can be configured with the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 processorwhich has 50 TOPS AI performance. Supports up to 64GB DDR5-5600 RAM and combine storage up to 2TB on hard disk drive (HDD) with 1 TB solid state drive (SSD).

Accepts dedicated video cards, such as NVIDIA RTX 5060. Your motherboard uses solid capacitors, the power supply has 80 Plus Platinum certification and the product undergoes rigorous manufacturing tests.

No less important, the V500 series receives updates with platforms such as Intel Raptor Lake Refresh and to AMD Hawk Point. Supports processors such as Intel Core i7until 64GB DDR5-5600 RAM, 2 TB the HDD more 2 TB SSD and graphics cards like the NVIDIA RTX 4060.

Your refrigeration system employs a 90 mm fan and four heatpipes (three 6 mm and one 8 mm), totaling one dissipation area of ​​3402 cm².

Both lines use Cooling with copper heatpipes and a large exhaust fan. Aesthetic options include theme Dark Wood for the V700 e Grey Weave for the V500.
