CORSAIR Unveils AI Workstation 300 With Ryzen AI Max+ 395, Starting at $1599 – Matching SIXUNITED’s Identical Mini PC Platform
CORSAIR has officially entered the AI workstation market with the launch of its new AI Workstation 300, a compact yet powerful mini PC featuring AMD's latest Ryzen Strix Halo APUs, specifically the Ryzen AI Max 385 and the flagship Ryzen AI Max+ 395. The announcement closely follows AMD’s reveal of its new Adrenalin Edition Preview Driver that unlocks 128B parameter model support locally, citing CORSAIR alongside other hardware partners like HP, ASUS, and Framework in its official announcement.
CORSAIR’s AI Workstation 300 is a sleek mini ITX system that targets professionals in AI development, data science, and high-performance computing. It is offered in two main configurations:
$1599 for the Ryzen AI Max 385 (8-core, 16-thread) with Radeon 8050S iGPU, 64 GB LPDDR5X, and 1 TB NVMe SSD.
$1999 for the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (16-core, 32-thread) with Radeon 8060S iGPU, 128 GB LPDDR5X, and 1 TB NVMe SSD.
For those seeking expanded storage, a 2+2 TB SSD upgrade option is available, bringing the total cost up to $2299.
The mini PC features up to 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory clocked at 8000 MT/s, dual NVMe SSD slots, and is powered by a 350W Flex ATX PSU, offering both high compute performance and portability. The design includes a well-ventilated chassis with efficient airflow and full I/O coverage both on the front and back panels.
Surprisingly, the exact same chassis design has been spotted in a parallel launch by Chinese manufacturer SIXUNITED, which introduced its XB35-H02/03-BQ AI Workstation. This model shares not just the chassis but also internal layout and port configuration, suggesting that both CORSAIR and SIXUNITED sourced the case from the same OEM.
However, SIXUNITED introduces an additional variant in its lineup:
XB35-H02: Features the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and Radeon 8060S, similar to CORSAIR's premium build.
XB35-03-BQ: Offers a dedicated Radeon RX 7600 XT GPU with a TDP of 175W, alongside support for either LPDDR5 or dual DDR5 SO-DIMM memory.
Despite the branding difference, both systems are nearly indistinguishable from the outside, sharing identical front USB layout, ventilation design, and power delivery systems. The primary distinction comes down to the internal GPU configuration and memory expansion capabilities, with SIXUNITED offering discrete GPU support.
What do you think about CORSAIR and SIXUNITED using the same chassis for their AI workstation PCs? Would you go for the Radeon 8060S iGPU or opt for the discrete 7600 XT? Let us know below.
