128GB unified memory in a mini-PC chassis
Minisforum MS-S1 Max
AMD Strix Halo in a mini-PC, with 128GB of soldered LPDDR5x unified memory.
Where it wins, where it doesn't
Pros
- 128GB unified memory in a mini-PC chassis
- Runs models that would otherwise need multiple GPUs
- Low power draw for the capability
Cons
- Memory is soldered — no upgrade path
- Token generation well below a discrete GPU
- Pointless for models that already fit in consumer VRAM
