WORLDTECHThunderobot launches Mix Neo mini PC with Core Ultra 7 256V in China
Thunderobot has released the Mix Neo, a compact desktop computer built around Intel's Core Ultra 7 256V, in China. The machine is aimed at local AI workloads, according to Gizmochina's report.
Processor and graphics specifications
The Mix Neo is built around the Core Ultra 7 256V, whose integrated Intel Arc 140V GPU carries eight Xe2 cores clocked at up to 1,950MHz. The processor is rated for up to 115 TOPS of INT8 performance.
Because the system follows Intel's Lunar Lake design, its 16GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory is placed inside the processor package itself. Gizmochina reports that this gives the integrated graphics high memory bandwidth, but it also means the memory is permanently fixed and cannot be upgraded later.
Storage and expansion options
The base model ships with a 512GB PCIe 3.0 SSD, while a second configuration offers a 1TB PCIe 4.0 drive. The board has two M.2 2280 slots, so a second drive can be added later if more space is needed.
Software aimed at local AI
Thunderobot positions the Mix Neo for local AI tasks. The machine comes with FlowyAIPC software and a local inference engine called Herdsman, which are set up to let users run large language models and image generation tools on the device without configuring them from scratch.
Open questions
- Will the Mix Neo be sold outside China?
