AMD announced in May 2026 that the Ryzen Artificial Intelligence Halo Developer Platform mini PC would arrive in June, and launch day has apparently arrived, with the Strix Halo-powered mini PC now available for pre-order via Micro Center in the US. The developer kit is positioned mainly for Artificial Intelligence developers, offering a compact platform built around AMD’s latest high-end integrated CPU and graphics configuration.
The Ryzen Artificial Intelligence Halo developer kit is mostly aimed at Artificial Intelligence developers, and although there are two SKUs, both have identical hardware, featuring the AMD Ryzen Artificial Intelligence Max+ 395 CPU, with its Radeon 8060S iGPU, and 128 GB of LPDDR5x-8000 memory shared across both the CPU and GPU cores. The mini PC is launching with 2 TB of SSD storage, and it includes a 120 W PSU. The shared memory design places the CPU and GPU resources in a single small system intended for development work rather than a conventional desktop rollout.
The only difference between the available SKUs is that one ships with Linux, while the other ships with Windows 11 Pro. No shipment date has yet been confirmed. Physical I/O is limited to USB Type-C, with three unspecified USB Type-C ports, likely USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 or USB4, one of which has DisplayPort Alt Mode support, an HDMI 2.1 port, a 10 Gbps Ethernet port, and a USB Type-C port for power input. It will also ship with both Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7. The mini PC itself measures just 149 × 149 × 43.18 mm, and the chassis appears to be mostly aluminium.
