Chinese hardware manufacturer FAVM has announced FA-EX9, a compact AI-focused Mini-PC powered by AMD’s latest Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor. Based on the Strix Halo platform, the chip has 16 Zen 5 CPU kernels and 40 RDNA 3.5 Calculation Devices (Radeon 8060S).
The diminishing unit measures only 192 x 190 x 55 mm, and with a total chassis volume of only 2 liters, FAVM claims that the system is among the smallest of its kind.
FA-EX9 is completely aimed at AI professionals and is located as a challenger for platforms such as Nvidia’s DGX Spark. It supports the Max+ 395 processor at a sustained 120W Power Draw, as the company says, offers performance compared to a Ryzen 9 9955HX paired with a GeForce RTX 4070 portable GPU.

The system uses LPDDR5 memory across a 256-bit bus offering 128 GB of total memory. Up to 96 GB can be assigned as GPU memory so that it can handle large language model workloads without requiring discreet GPUs.
FAVM claims that the integrated GPU and NPU architecture in FA-EX9 delivers 2.2 times the AI performance of an RTX 4090 in LM Studio when driving locally. The system uses double turbine fans and phase change of thermal materials to handle heat while keeping noise levels low under tasks with high loads.
FA-EX9’s connection includes HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1 and two USB4 ports with support for up to four 8K screens. It also has an oculink connector with a bundled adapter for high-performance external GPU extension.
Although no release date or pricing has been confirmed, Videocardz Teaser campaigns are currently reporting in China.
