VZMORE is preparing to enter the Mini PC market with four new systems powered by AMD and Intel hardware. The German-owned brand will make its public debut at ShowStoppers @ IFA 2026 in Berlin, where it plans to showcase the AX9 Max, iX9 Max, iX9 Ultra, and AX9 Ultra. The company is targeting a growing segment of users who want desktop-class performance without moving to a full-sized tower. Its first lineup covers professional productivity, content creation, local AI processing, graphics workloads, multi-display setups, and gaming.
The AMD-based AX9 Max will use the Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 processor, paired with Radeon 890M integrated graphics and a Ryzen AI NPU rated for up to 55 TOPS. The hardware places the system among the latest generation of compact PCs designed to handle AI-assisted applications alongside traditional CPU and GPU workloads.
On the Intel side, the iX9 Max will feature the Core Ultra 9 185H processor and Intel Arc graphics. VZMORE says the system is aimed at content creators and users running multi-monitor desktop setups. The more powerful iX9 Ultra will move to Intel’s next-generation Core Ultra X9 378H platform, combining Intel Arc B390 graphics with an NPU capable of up to 50 TOPS.
The most powerful system in the initial lineup will be the AX9 Ultra. It will use AMD’s Ryzen AI Max 388 processor with Radeon 8060S graphics. VZMORE says its V-Boost Max technology will allow the system to support performance tuning of up to 120W, putting the Mini PC in a different class from many compact systems that operate under tighter thermal and power limits.
Cooling will be a major part of VZMORE’s approach. The company is using its proprietary V-Cooling architecture across the lineup, combining a large-area vapor chamber, high-density cooling fins, 360-degree bottom air intake, vertical airflow, and intelligent thermal control.
According to VZMORE, its internal testing shows that the cooling design provides 40% more heat-spreading area and 50% higher heat-transfer efficiency compared with traditional dual-heat-pipe cooling solutions. As with most manufacturer-provided thermal figures, these numbers will need independent testing once retail hardware becomes available.
The company says selected systems can operate at noise levels as low as 38 dB under heavy workloads, which could be important for users who want a compact desktop for an office, studio, or home setup.
“For a Mini PC, performance only truly matters when it can be sustained, and it should not come at the cost of disruptive noise,” said Bruce Gong, Brand Manager at VZMORE.
VZMORE plans to launch all four Mini PCs in global markets in mid-October 2026. Final memory and storage configurations, pricing, and regional availability have not yet been announced and are expected closer to release.

The company is entering a competitive Mini PC market, but the combination of Ryzen AI Max hardware, Intel Core Ultra platforms, Arc graphics, AI acceleration, and a cooling system designed for sustained performance gives its first lineup a broad range of targets. Pricing will likely play a major role in determining how the AX9 and iX9 series compete with established Mini PC brands when they arrive later this year.
