If you’re considering buying a high-performance mini PC, the Firebat A8 mini PC could be a suitable option on this 11.11, as it features the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 processor with 32 GB of 5600 MHz DDR5 RAM. It’s a small but fully-featured PC, as it comes with two 2.5G Ethernet ports, two full-size USB4 ports, and an OCuLink port that lets you get the most out of an eGPU.
This is a highly efficient AMD chip, as it was designed for laptops, though in terms of performance, it’s 10% faster than the Dexa Core Ryzen 9 8945HS. As you’d expect given its name, it includes an updated NPU that in this case reaches up to 50 TOPS and a new 12-core Radeon 880M iGPU, which lets you play all kinds of games at 1080p without any major issues. It also features a cooling system with two fans and three heat pipes, so temperatures shouldn’t be an issue. As for RAM, it features two SO-DIMM slots with 32 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory and a 1 TB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe x4 SSD.
In terms of connectivity, it features Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and two high-speed 2.5G RJ45 Ethernet ports. On the exterior of the case, the interfaces include an Oculink port, a microSD card reader, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, three USB 2.0 ports, two audio jacks, and HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 video outputs.
