Zotac is set to launch its new Magnus EA (2025) mini PC, powered by the latest AMD Ryzen AI Max ´Strix Halo´ processors. This marks a significant step forward for compact PCs, as the Strix Halo platform offers up to 16 high-performance ´Zen 5´ CPU cores and an integrated GPU equipped with as many as 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units. These specifications position the Magnus EA as a formidable solution for 1440p AAA gaming, rivaling larger desktops in a much smaller form factor.
Beyond gaming, the Magnus EA leverages a 50 TOPS-class Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for full Microsoft Copilot+ compatibility, enabling robust Artificial Intelligence applications natively on the device. The mini PC now falls in line with the industry’s push towards locally accelerated Artificial Intelligence processing, making it suitable not just for gamers, but also creators and power users who need advanced compute and machine learning capabilities in a portable chassis.
Physically, the Magnus EA inherits the 140 mm-class 1U chassis design from its sibling, the 2025 Magnus One. This makes it even slimmer than the Magnus EN, which will instead feature Intel’s Core Ultra 200H ´Arrow Lake-H´ CPUs with GeForce RTX 50-series ´Blackwell´ GPUs. Zotac plans to officially unveil the Magnus EA, along with the updated Magnus EN and Magnus One models, at Computex later this month, showcasing a diverse lineup built around both AMD and Intel’s cutting-edge platforms for a range of enthusiast users.
