MINIX has expanded its mini PC lineup with the introduction of the N304-AI, a compact Mini PC powered by Intel’s latest Wildcat Lake platform. Announced on June 10, the new model is aimed at users seeking a small-form-factor PC with built-in AI capabilities, modern connectivity options, and support for multiple displays.
The N304-AI is equipped with Intel’s Core 3 304 processor, which integrates a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capable of delivering up to 15 TOPS of INT8 AI computing performance. The inclusion of an NPU allows AI-related tasks to be processed more efficiently, reducing the workload on the CPU and helping improve performance in compatible applications.
MINIX pairs the processor with 16GB of onboard LPDDR5X-6400 memory and a 512GB PCIe Gen3 SSD. This hardware configuration is designed to handle everyday productivity tasks, web browsing, media consumption, and office workloads while also supporting emerging AI-powered software features. The system ships with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed.
Key specifications of the MINIX N304-AI include:
- Intel Core 3 304 processor based on the Wildcat Lake platform
- Integrated NPU with up to 15 TOPS of INT8 AI performance
- 16GB LPDDR5X-6400 onboard memory
- 512GB PCIe Gen3 SSD storage
- Windows 11 Pro operating system
- Wi-Fi 6 wireless networking
- Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity
- HDMI 2.1 TMDS output
- DisplayPort 1.4 output
- USB Type-C port with 10Gbps transfer speeds
- Dual 1GbE RJ45 Ethernet ports
- Simultaneous support for up to three displays
Connectivity is a major focus of the N304-AI. The mini PC offers HDMI 2.1 TMDS, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-C video output, allowing users to connect up to three monitors simultaneously. This configuration can be useful for multitasking, office environments, content creation workflows, and digital signage applications.
The system also includes dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing additional flexibility for network-related workloads. Users can benefit from separate network connections for business deployments, firewall configurations, or network management tasks.
With Intel’s latest entry-level AI processor, integrated AI acceleration, modern wireless standards, and extensive display connectivity, the MINIX N304-AI enters the market as a compact desktop solution for users looking to adopt AI-enhanced computing without moving to larger desktop systems.
