The new GEEKOM AE8 MAX mini PC, a computer with powerful specifications and fast network connections, has just appeared in stores.
A compact mini PC that comes with an Octa Core AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS processor that differs from the Ryzen 8845HS only by not having the NPU for AI enabled, although it reaches 39 TOPS using the CPU. In the graphics section we find a Radeon 780M iGPU with RDNA3 architecture that will allow us to play fairly demanding titles, an interesting extra if we want to play somewhat demanding titles.
We also have two full USB4 ports to connect an eGPU, a fast Wifi 6E network adapter and two Ethernet 2.5 connectors, which make it ideal for use as a server.
GEEKOM AE8 MAX Specifications
This small PC integrates an AMD Ryzen R7 8745HS processor manufactured in 4 nm with Zen 4/4c technology. An Octa Core with sixteen threads, with a maximum speed of 4.9 GHz that has disabled the NPU. It includes a powerful 12-core Radeon 780M iGPU that reaches a speed of 2.6 GHz. A processor with which we can move any demanding design app and demanding games up to 1080p.
