MINIX N304-AI Brings Local AI Computing to More Users with Intel® Wildcat Lake
Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly important part of everyday computing, but dedicated AI hardware has traditionally been limited to premium devices. The new MINIX N304-AI aims to change that by bringing AI acceleration into a compact and more accessible mini PC format.
Powered by the latest Intel® Wildcat Lake platform and equipped with the Intel® Core™ 3 Processor 304, the N304-AI integrates Intel® AI Boost to deliver up to 24 TOPS of total AI performance, including up to 15 TOPS from its dedicated NPU.
Designed to support local AI workloads, the system enables users to run AI-assisted applications directly on the device rather than relying entirely on cloud services. This approach offers benefits including faster responsiveness, improved privacy, reduced cloud dependency, and lower long-term operating costs.
MINIX positions the N304-AI as a practical solution for a broad range of users, from professionals and educators to developers and businesses looking to explore AI-powered workflows in a more affordable and energy-efficient platform.
Despite its compact footprint, the mini PC includes hardware designed for modern productivity and connectivity:
