Hardware manufacturers Colorful and AOOSTAR released new workstation systems built around the AMD Gorgon Halo Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 processor. The hardware rollout brings high-capacity unified memory configurations and integrated high-end graphics to the mini PC and mobile workstation market.
Colorful Systems
Colorful introduced two distinct hardware products using the new AMD architecture. The Lingchuang Mini Pro mini PC includes configurations with up to 196 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 unified memory, starting at a base capacity of 96 GB. The system allows users to assign up to 160 GB of this memory directly to VRAM for the Radeon 8065S graphics.
Alongside the desktop unit, the company launched the Lingchuang K16 mobile workstation laptop on JD.com for ¥34,999. This laptop model integrates up to 128 GB of unified memory, Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, and a 180 Hz IPS display. The portable system runs on a 160 W TDP APU, powers its components with a 99 Wh battery, and includes 2 TB of PCIe 4.0 storage alongside dual M.2 PCIe slots. Pricing and availability dates for the Lingchuang Mini Pro remain unannounced.
AOOSTAR Mini PC
AOOSTAR revealed its entry into the same hardware category with the NEX495S mini PC. The desktop unit centers on the 16-core and 32-thread Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 system-on-chip. The machine supports up to 192 GB of LPDDR5X unified memory. This memory architecture enables users to allocate nearly 160 GB of capacity toward video memory. The processor configuration also delivers up to 131 AI TOPS of local computing power. The manufacturer has not yet shared pricing or retail availability details for the NEX495S.
The arrival of these systems provides users with local hardware capable of running large language models and demanding graphics workloads. The high unified memory ceilings permit memory allocations reaching 160 GB of VRAM across both manufacturers' desktop platforms. Buyers can now acquire the Colorful K16 mobile workstation, while the desktop mini PC options from both brands establish a new baseline for high-density local processing capacity.
The integration of the Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 within these form factors represents a significant shift for professionals requiring massive VRAM buffers without the constraints of traditional discrete GPU footprints. By utilizing unified memory architectures, these systems bypass standard bus limitations, allowing the Radeon 8065S to access a pool of memory that was previously exclusive to server-grade infrastructure. This capability is particularly relevant for developers and researchers who need to load complex large language models directly into local memory for real-time inference.
While the mobile K16 workstation is positioned at a premium price point of ¥34,999, it incorporates high-end features like Wi-Fi 7 and a high-refresh 180 Hz display to match its internal processing power. The inclusion of dual M.2 PCIe slots in the laptop chassis ensures that users are not limited by the base 2 TB PCIe 4.0 storage, providing a path for future expansion. Meanwhile, the AOOSTAR NEX495S leverages the 16-core, 32-thread architecture to push the limits of local AI processing, reaching the 131 AI TOPS threshold. This benchmark underscores the unit's utility for intensive compute-heavy tasks that demand both parallel processing and high-bandwidth memory access. As these systems move from the initial announcement phase to broader market availability, the ability to assign nearly 160 GB of VRAM in a mini PC form factor remains the defining technical achievement of this hardware generation.
