GEEKOM IT13 Max and MSI PRO MAX EDGE AI+ Mini PCs Enable Local AI Processing

The GEEKOM IT13 Max mini PC, equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor, integrated Intel Arc graphics and a dedicated AI NPU delivering up to 35 TOPS, can run large language models entirely on‑device. It ships with 24 GB of LPDDR5/LPDDR5X RAM, a 500 GB PCIe 4.0 SSD and a compact 136 × 132 × 54 mm chassis, proving that a pocket‑sized PC can handle local AI workloads without cloud reliance.

MSI’s newly announced PRO MAX EDGE AI+ mini PC targets the same market but uses AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor and an XDNA 2 NPU capable of 126 TOPS. The system supports up to 128 GB of unified LPDDR5X‑8000 memory and claims to run language models of up to 120 billion parameters on a single unit, with clustering options for models as large as 670 billion parameters. Connectivity includes dual 40 Gbps USB‑C, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.0 and advanced networking ports.
