ZOTAC Unveils Intel Core Ultra & AMD Ryzen-Powered ZBOX Mini PCs with Advanced NPU Technology for AI Computing

ZOTAC has recently revealed the launch of three new series of compact mini AI PCs, equipped with advanced processors. These mini AI PCs are driven by Intel and AMD processors, featuring dedicated Neural Processing Units (NPUs) that enable users to fully embrace the future of computing, powered by Artificial Intelligence.

The addition of embedded NPUs in both Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen Processors has resulted in the launch of the revolutionary AI PC ZBOX lineup. This cutting-edge technology brings the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence directly to the desktop, enabling users to enhance their productivity and creativity with AI-powered acceleration. With its renowned lightweight form factor chassis and advanced hardware, the ZBOX series sets a new standard for versatile and efficient personal computers that are user-friendly and effortless to set up.

The models of ZOTAC ZBOX edge are MI672 and MI652.

ZOTAC has introduced a new addition to their ZBOX M Series lineup, solidifying their position as a leader in the AI PC market. The ZBOX edge MI672 / MI652 stands out with the latest Meteor Lake Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and 5 125H processors, providing both impressive power and energy efficiency. This is made possible by the inclusion of newly introduced LPE cores, which are specifically designed for less demanding tasks. With its sleek low-profile design, the ZBOX edge MI672 / MI652 is a top choice for those seeking a high-performing but energy-saving system.

The integration of Intel ARC Graphics in Meteor Lake processors is a groundbreaking feature that offers up to 2x better graphics performance than previous generations. By enhancing the ZBOX edge MI672 / MI652, Intel ARC Graphics allows users to easily handle graphics-heavy tasks and even indulge in casual gaming on the machine itself.

The ZBOX edge MI672 / MI652 is equipped with Intel ARC Graphics, allowing users to optimize their workflows for Generative AI tasks using Intel’s software toolkit, OpenVINO. It also offers a complete range of I/O capabilities, including 6 USB 3.2 ports, HDMI and Display Port video output, and wireless connectivity options such as WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. Additionally, it supports dual-channel memory of up to 64GB with DDR5-5600/5200 SODIMM modules for improved multitasking performance. With the ability to accommodate up to 2 M.2 NVMe SSDs, users can also enjoy high-speed storage.

The ZBOX CI671 / CI651 nano is still the same product.

ZOTAC’s ZBOX C Series lineup, which consists of compact Mini PCs without fans, is expanding with a new addition that incorporates AI technology. The ZBOX CI671 / CI651 nano features an Intel Core Ultra 7 155U or Core Ultra 5 125U processor, along with LPE Cores and a dedicated NPU unit

Similar to the ZBOX C Series tradition, the CI671 / CI651 nano also features a passive cooling design that eliminates the need for any mechanical components. This not only provides a quiet computing experience but also extends the lifespan of the device. Additionally, the enhanced efficiency of Intel® Core Ultra U processors results in reduced heat production, allowing for optimal performance even during heavy usage.

The CI671 / CI651 nano, just like other members of the ZBOX family, may be small in size but it is still a fully functional desktop. It comes equipped with a full range of I/O options, including 5 USB 3.2 ports and HDMI and DisplayPort video outputs, allowing for up to 3 displays for improved productivity. The chassis is designed for easy disassembly without the need for tools, making it simple to upgrade memory and storage components for a seamless and quiet machine.

The model of ZBOX edge is MA762.

The MA762 is the latest addition to ZOTAC’s line of Mini PCs powered by AMD. It is equipped with the AMD 7840HS APU and supports the use of AMD Ryzen AI Software, which provides the necessary tools and runtime libraries for optimizing and deploying AI inference applications on the built-in neural processing unit. This dedicated NPU also allows for more efficient utilization of CPU and GPU resources, resulting in improved power efficiency. Developers can utilize the AMD Vitis AI quantizer to convert their models to INT8 and save them in ONNX format

Equipped with integrated AMD Radeon 780M Graphics, the ZBOX Edge MA762 is built with gaming in mind, delivering impressive performance for light to medium settings at resolutions up to 1080p. Whether you need to multitask with a dual monitor setup or relax with some intense gaming sessions, the ZBOX Edge MA762’s compact and low-profile design belies its powerful capabilities. In addition, the ZBOX Edge MA762 boasts a comprehensive range of I/O connections, both wired and wireless, including the added benefit of dual Gigabit Ethernet support for a secure and flexible network setup.

Availability:

The barebone configurations of the ZOTAC ZBOX edge MI672 / MI652, ZBOX edge MA762, and ZBOX CI671 / 651 nano will be released for sale in certain regions beginning today.
