Amazon is offering coupons for multiple Minisforum AI370 EliteMini is proof of that — it’s one of the most powerful mini-PCs on the market and weighs barely over a pound.
The AI370 EliteMini is a sleek, silver matte device measuring 5.12 x 5 x 1.85 inches, designed to fit into even the smallest workstations. Its size contrasts with its power, however, as it features an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor with four full-size Zen 5 performance cores capable of speeds up to 5.1 GHz and eight Zen 5c “compact” 3.3 GHz cores.
The Zen 5c cores are designed to take up 25% less space on the processor die compared to standard Zen 5 cores, making them perfect for handling less demanding tasks. This design not only improves power efficiency but also allows for more computing power to be packed into the chip.

This AMD processor is optimized for AI workloads, delivering up to 80 TOPS overall and 50 NPU TOPS, enough to allow the PC to run Microsoft Copilot+ AI tools in Windows 11, and be able to call itself an “AI PC” by Microsoft standards.
. If you need more storage, the system is surprisingly easy to upgrade. Just remove four screws, lift the lid, and swing the fan assembly out of the way to access a second M.2 slot for expansion. However, storage is the only user-upgradable component.

The system in action
Regarding performance, the AI370 EliteMini is a capable system that punches above its weight.
During my Benchmarking of the system, I got respectable scores in Cinebench R23: just under 24,000 for multi-core performance and over 2,000 for single-core performance. Since gaming relies heavily on single-core performance, this system is on par with a desktop system running an Intel Core i9 13900F isn’t exactly cheap, but it’s far from overpriced. For that investment, you’re getting a highly capable PC that can handle high-end software, gaming, and even AI workloads with ease. It is a small machine that delivers big results. And the device is made even better by its current discount. At its new price, the AI370 EliteMini offers incredible value for its performance and features.
