Acemagic Introduces F5A Mini PC with Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 and OCuLink

Acemagic has launched the F5A, a mini PC built around AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 470, a 12-core, 24-thread chip combining Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores with boost clocks up to 5.2 GHz. Graphics come from the integrated Radeon 890M (RDNA 3.5, 16 compute units), and the XDNA2 NPU is rated at 55 TOPS, pushing total platform AI performance to up to 86 TOPS. Memory is fixed at 32 GB of LPDDR5X-8000, paired with a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. Storage expansion is a strong point since Acemagic F5A mini PC features three M.2 2280 slots giving you up to 12 TB of total capacity. Networking covers Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports.

For a system this compact (130 x 132 x 62 mm) the connectivity is solid. You get HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, and dual USB4 ports with DisplayPort output and 40 Gbps transfer speeds, plus an OCuLink port for eGPU or high-speed storage expansion. Multiple 8K display outputs are supported. Cooling is handled by a dual-fan setup with a vapor chamber, rated up to 65 W. The F5A is available as a barebones configuration at $759 or as a preconfigured 32 GB / 1 TB model at $1,299, however, availability seems limited at launch.
