Intel Core 3 Processor 304
The MINIX N304-AI is powered by the Intel Core 3 Processor 304, based on the Wildcat Lake architecture and paired with 16GB of LPDDR5X-6400 memory and a 512GB NVMe SSD. Its dedicated NPU handles up to 15 TOPS of AI performance, while the CPU and GPU contribute to the system’s total 24 TOPS capability.
MINIX positions the setup for local AI-assisted productivity, content generation, language processing, and other lightweight AI workloads. Running AI workloads locally can also reduce the need to send data to cloud services, which can be useful for users handling sensitive documents or other work-related information. The company also highlights potential applications in education, small businesses, and development environments where a compact system can handle both regular computing and lighter AI workloads.
Triple 4K Display Support and Dual Gigabit Ethernet
Despite its small formfactor, the N304-AI includes a range of connectivity options for different setups. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, with each capable of driving a 4K display at 60Hz for up to three independent displays. This makes it suitable for multi-screen workstations, monitoring systems, finance applications, and digital signage.
For networking, the system features two Gigabit Ethernet ports with support for link aggregation, alongside Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3. The dual Ethernet setup can be used for network management and applications requiring a more stable wired connection, including retail and digital signage deployments.
Designed for Local AI and Edge Computing
MINIX targets use cases that include local AI assistants, document summarization, creative tools, lightweight containers, network dashboards, and development tasks. Its 24 TOPS AI capability can also be used for local processing in retail and digital signage applications, where the company says it can support real-time customer analysis and interactive displays.
The MINIX N304-AI also uses a cooling system designed to keep operating noise low while maintaining heat dissipation. Combined with its compact form factor and low-power hardware, the system is aimed at users who need an always-available computing platform without the size of a traditional desktop.
