ASRock Launches AI BOX-A395 With Ryzen AI Max+ 395, with Up to 128 GB LPDDR5X Memory
ASRock Industrial has officially introduced the AI BOX-A395, a compact workstation class mini PC built around AMD’s flagship Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor. The new system is positioned as a high performance AI and edge workstation in a 4.64 liter chassis, combining 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, integrated Radeon 8060S graphics, and support for up to 128 GB of LPDDR5X 8000 memory. ASRock’s official product page confirms the platform is aimed at demanding AI, embedded, and professional workloads while also delivering enough graphics power to make GPU free gaming and content creation part of the package.
The heart of the system is AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395, one of the most powerful Strix Halo chips currently available. AMD’s official specifications list the processor with 16 cores and 32 threads, Radeon 8060S graphics with 40 compute units, and an NPU rated at up to 50 TOPS, while total AI platform capability reaches up to 126 TOPS. That makes the AI BOX-A395 more than just another premium mini PC. It is part of a growing class of compact systems trying to deliver local AI inference, workstation level performance, and respectable gaming capability without needing a discrete graphics card.
On the graphics side, the AI BOX-A395 inherits one of the most interesting parts of the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 platform. AMD says the integrated Radeon 8060S runs with 40 graphics cores and clocks up to 2900 MHz, which places it far above the usual integrated graphics expectations for a mini PC. That is one reason why systems based on Strix Halo have been attracting so much attention. They are trying to collapse the gap between thin client hardware, creator workstations, and light to mid range gaming rigs into one unified design.
ASRock is also leaning hard into memory and connectivity. The AI BOX-A395 supports up to 128 GB LPDDR5X 8000, which is especially important for local AI and professional workloads where unified memory capacity can become a major bottleneck. The system also includes 2 USB4 ports, 1 USB 3.2 Gen2 Type C, 2 USB 3.2 Gen2, 2 USB 2.0, 2 M.2 Key M slots for PCIe Gen4 x4 SSDs, and 1 M.2 Key E slot for wireless connectivity. The official specifications also list WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 1 Realtek 2.5 GbE LAN, and 1 Marvell 10 GbE LAN, making this one of the more connectivity rich mini systems in its size class.
Display support is another strong point. ASRock says the unit supports quad display output, including 2 HDMI 2.1 connections and 3 DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, with 2 of those DisplayPort signals carried through USB4 and another through Type C. That kind of output flexibility matters for professional users who want to run multi monitor setups for development, analytics, trading, media creation, or AI workflow dashboards from a compact desktop footprint.
Physically, the AI BOX-A395 measures 200 x 100 x 232 mm, which matches the 4.64 liter class ASRock is targeting. The system is listed as a fanned barebone, and ASRock Industrial’s broader catalog confirms the AI BOX family currently includes the A395 model with the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and an A388 variant based on the lower tier Ryzen AI Max+ 388. That suggests ASRock is not treating this as a one off showcase product, but as part of a broader compact AI workstation lineup.
One thing that has not been disclosed yet is pricing. Neither ASRock’s product page nor the downloadable product materials list a launch price or broad retail availability window. So while the AI BOX-A395 is now official and fully specified, the commercial side of the launch still needs to be clarified.
From a market perspective, the AI BOX-A395 is a good example of where mini PCs are heading in 2026. Vendors are no longer just building tiny office machines. They are building compact local AI nodes, creator systems, and gaming capable desktop replacements that can sit in much smaller spaces while still offering serious compute density. With the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and Radeon 8060S under the hood, ASRock’s new system looks well positioned to appeal to developers, workstation users, and enthusiasts who want a high end compact machine without stepping into full tower territory.
Would you buy a compact AI mini PC like the AI BOX-A395 instead of a full size desktop if the pricing lands in the right range?
