The 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas once again proved to be the global stage for groundbreaking technology. With over 4,000 exhibitors from 160 countries, including tech giants like AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA, the event showcased a relentless pursuit of AI-driven innovation. From edge computing to next-gen gaming, the trends at CES 2025 set the tone for the year ahead—and Minisforum is proud to be part of this transformative journey.

This year’s CES highlighted the rapid evolution of AI hardware, with a strong emphasis on "AI at the Edge"—a shift toward localized, high-performance computing that reduces reliance on the cloud. Key players in the semiconductor industry unveiled cutting-edge solutions:

AMD showcased its Ryzen AI Max and Ryzen AI 300 series processors, both designed to dominate the AI PC market.The Ryzen AI 300 series processors feature Zen 5 CPU cores and a powerful NPU delivering up to 50 TOPS for on-device AI workloads.

Intel unveiled its latest AI-optimized processors, including the Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake series, which offer significant improvements in AI performance and efficiency.These chips are designed to deliver superior performance for AI workloads, making them suitable for both consumer and enterprise applications.

NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the RTX 50 series GPUs, which are designed to deliver exceptional performance for both AI computing and gaming.These GPUs feature advanced AI optimizations that significantly enhance frame rates and overall gaming experience.The entire RTX 50 series is optimized for AI workloads, making them ideal for researchers, developers, and gamers alike.

Amid the frenzy of innovation at CES 2025, Minisforum unveiled the AI X1 Pro, a mini PC that embodies the event’s core themes: power, portability, and AI-first design. Here’s how it aligns with the trends set by industry leaders:

1. Uncompromised AI Performance

The AI X1 Pro is powered by AMD’s Ryzen™ 9 HX 370 processor, which is part of the Ryzen AI 300 series. This processor features a powerful NPU that delivers impressive local AI processing capabilities. This aligns with the industry’s push toward edge computing, enabling tasks like real-time translation, voice recognition, and generative AI without cloud dependency—a direct response to CES’s "AI at the Edge" narrative.

AMD community also encourages users to try deploying DeepSeek distilled models on Ryzen AI series chips for enhanced local AI capabilities. You can learn more about it here. Thanks to the AMD Ryzen™ 9 HX 370 chip, the AI X1 Pro can support up to a 14B DeepSeek model (DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B), which is equivalent to the level of an AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 XT discrete GPU.This means you don’t need to purchase an expensive discrete GPU; you can run large models directly on this mini PC, highlighting its cost-effectiveness and convenience.

2. Gaming and Creativity,Redefined

Not only AI, but games are also an important focus of modern PCs. With AMD’s Radeon™ 890M integrated graphics (45% faster than competitors) and support for OCuLink eGPUs, the AI X1 Pro transforms into a gaming powerhouse. The 890M allows you to play the latest AAA games without a discrete graphics card, and the OCuLink interface provides the possibility of playing AAA games at higher resolutions and higher frame rates.

3. Enterprise-Grade Versatility

The AI X1 Pro supports up to 96GB DDR5 memory, triple M.2 PCIe 4.0 slots, and dual 2.5G Ethernet ports, catering to professionals needing multitasking prowess.

4. Design for the Furture

From its built-in 135W power supply to a fingerprint sensor for secure access, the AI X1 Pro prioritizes user convenience. Its compact, vertical design reflects CES’s trend toward space-efficient, multifunctional hardware.

Minisforum’s AI X1 Pro delivers a balanced fusion of performance and practicality. It’s not just a mini PC—it’s a gateway to:

• Smart Offices: Enhanced security and productivity with Copilot AI integration.
• Home Entertainment: 4K streaming and AAA gaming in a living-room-friendly form.
• Creative Workflows: Accelerated rendering and AI-driven content creation.

CES 2025 reminded us that the future of technology lies in making AI accessible, powerful, and adaptable. At Minisforum, we’ve taken these lessons to heart. The AI X1 Pro isn’t just a product—it’s a testament to what’s possible when cutting-edge hardware meets user-centric design.
