Beelink is launching two new mini PCs, the GTR9 Pro and the AI Mini, which are clearly aimed at power users, developers and AI enthusiasts. Equipped with AMD’s Ryzen AI Max 395+ processors and a Radeon 8060S GPU, the devices are designed to offer desktop performance in a compact format. Beelink’s design is based on Apple and Framework – the systems are also priced in the upper class.
- Two models: GTR9 Pro as a workstation, AI Mini as a compact AI PC
- AMD Ryzen AI Max 395+ with 16 cores, 32 threads and Radeon 8060S
- Up to 128 GB LPDDR5X RAM, powerful GPU performance at RTX 4070 level
- Prices from 1,999 US dollars, market launch still unclear
High-end performance in mini format
With the Ryzen AI Max 395+, Beelink is relying on AMD’s current Strix Halo platform. The processor has 16 Zen 5 cores with 32 threads and clock speeds of up to 5.1 GHz – values that were previously found almost exclusively in desktop CPUs. The whole thing is complemented by the integrated Radeon 8060S GPU with 40 compute units. In benchmarks and preliminary comparisons, the graphics chip is estimated to perform on a par with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, which is remarkable for an integrated graphics processor.
The compact design of these devices in no way means a loss of performance. On the contrary, the significantly larger housing compared to previous mini PCs ensures that the powerful hardware can be sufficiently cooled. According to Beelink, similar to the Apple Mac mini, air is drawn in from below to ensure thermally stable performance. It is no coincidence that the design is reminiscent of Apple – Beelink also clearly took its visual cue from Cupertino.
Differences between GTR9 Pro and AI Mini
Although both systems are based on an identical APU, the GTR9 Pro and the AI Mini differ in their focus. While the GTR9 Pro focuses on maximum connectivity and classic workstation features, the AI Mini is designed more as a lifestyle solution. The latter borrows from the modular framework desktop, which makes it particularly interesting for developers and creative professionals with a focus on AI applications.
The available RAM is up to 128 GB LPDDR5X, albeit soldered – the RAM can therefore not be upgraded. The interaction between the CPU, GPU and the large RAM pool is crucial for AI scenarios. Up to 96 GB of RAM can be used directly for machine learning processes, which makes the system particularly interesting for local AI conferences or developer environments with a focus on LLMs.
PRE-LAUNCH ALERT: Meet the GTR9 Pro & AI Mini
Unleash next-gen performance with AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 Processor – engineered for innovators, gamers, and creators who demand more performance, less noise.

The interfaces vary depending on the model, with at least two USB 4.0 ports, a 10 Gbit/s network connection and a card reader confirmed. Specific details on the port assignment are to be published closer to the market launch – however, an official date has yet to be announced.
Premium price for niche market
With a starting price of 1,999 US dollars, Beelink is clearly positioning itself in the high-end segment. Although the features technically justify the price, experience has shown that the market for such mini PCs remains manageable. By way of comparison, the similar Framework system with the same APU costs between 1,600 and 2,000 US dollars, depending on the RAM configuration. For Europe, Beelink quotes prices from 1,859 euros up to 2,329 euros. This makes the devices an investment for many users – more for specialized applications than for the mainstream.
Conclusion
The Beelink GTR9 Pro and AI Mini show just how much performance can now be packed into a small case – provided you are prepared to pay for it. With AMD’s Strix Halo platform, up to 128 GB RAM and strong GPU performance, the duo is aimed at professional users with specific performance requirements. The devices are oversized for everyday use, but they could become an exciting alternative for AI development or GPU-accelerated workloads. Prices start at around 1,999 US dollars – a market launch in Europe is still pending.
