The Corsair AI Workstation 300 has officially launched, bringing workstation-grade performance into a compact form factor.
This premium mini PC sets a new standard with its 350W power supply, liquid cooling system, and support for up to 128GB of LPDDR5X-8000 memory. Despite its small 248 × 188 × 97 mm chassis, it delivers performance that rivals much larger systems.
At the heart of the machine are AMD’s new Strix Halo processors. Buyers can choose between the Ryzen AI Max 385 or the more powerful Ryzen AI Max+ 395, both featuring Zen 5 CPU cores, discrete-class Radeon graphics, and a 50 TOPS NPU. The flagship Max+ 395 doubles the CPU cores, GPU power, and cache, offering 16 cores, 32 threads, and 80MB of cache, paired with a Radeon 8060S GPU.
Pricing starts at $1600 for the Ryzen AI Max 385 with 64GB RAM and 1TB SSD. The fully loaded Max+ 395 configuration with 128GB RAM costs $2000, while an optional 4TB SSD upgrade adds another $300.
AI-Ready Performance
AMD confirmed that the Max+ 395 model with 128GB RAM can run 128-billion parameter AI models locally, enabling workloads like Llama 3, Mistral, and Stable Diffusion without cloud reliance. This positions the workstation as a powerful tool for AI researchers, developers, and creators.

The Corsair AI Workstation 300 comes well-equipped with:
- 2 × USB4 Type-C
