The system is built around the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, which MSI identifies as part of the Strix Halo lineup. This chip features 16 cores and 32 threads to handle heavy multitasking workloads. It pairs with integrated Radeon 8060S graphics that utilize 40 RDNA 3.5 Compute Units to drive display output and gaming performance.

Specifications

  • Processor: AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395
  • Memory: Up to 128GB LPDDR5X-8000
  • AI Performance: Up to 126 TOPS
  • Chassis: 4-liter aluminum
  • Graphics: Radeon 8060S (40 CUs)

MSI equips the chassis with up to 128GB of LPDDR5X-8000 unified memory. The system can dynamically allocate up to 96GB of this memory as video RAM for the GPU. This configuration supports a total AI performance of 126 TOPS when combining the NPU and GPU capabilities. The compact aluminum case houses a built-in 300W power supply and a triple-fan Frozr AI Cooling Pro thermal solution.

Connectivity includes a Wi-Fi 7 module, dual USB 40Gbps Type-C ports, and five USB 10Gbps Type-A ports. Display options consist of HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. Storage is handled by dual PCIe Gen4 M.2 slots for high-speed data access. MSI claims the system can run large language models with up to 120 billion parameters. The company states the machine can generate 15 tokens per second when processing 109 billion parameter models.

Gaming performance claims include 60+ FPS at 1440p resolution in Cyberpunk 2077 and Forza Horizon 5 with ray-tracing enabled. The system ships with these specifications as standard for the PRO MAX EDGE AI+ model. Buyers seeking high-end local AI inference or integrated graphics gaming now have a compact option available from MSI.
