The CORSAIR AI Workstation 300 is a compact, high-performance mini PC designed to meet the demands of AI developers, creative professionals, and power users. Powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor and featuring an AMD Radeon 8060S integrated GPU, this 4.4-liter small form factor (SFF) system delivers exceptional performance for local large language models (LLMs), creative workloads, and AI development. With up to 128GB of LPDDR5X memory, a 1TB M.2 SSD, and Windows 11 Home, the CORSAIR AI Workstation 300 is engineered for efficiency, modularity, and quiet operation. Here’s an in-depth look at what makes this workstation a game-changer.
The CORSAIR AI Workstation 300 lies the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, a flagship 16-core, 32-thread processor based on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture. This Strix Halo APU is designed for high-performance computing, particularly for AI-driven tasks. Paired with AMD’s XDNA 2 NPU (Neural Processing Unit), it delivers up to 50 TOPS of AI acceleration, making it ideal for client-side AI workflows like LM Studio and Stable Diffusion with Amuse-ai. This processing power enables efficient handling of large-scale model inference, surpassing the capabilities of many traditional desktop GPUs.
