Acemagic has launched the Retro X5 mini PC in China. The compact desktop looks like the classic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) console. The company first showed it in early February 2026, and it’s now on sale in China. A global release is expected later, and the device is already listed on Acemagic’s international website.
The retro look hides modern hardware. The Retro X5 runs on AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor from the Strix Point series. The chip has 12 cores and 24 threads, 24MB of L3 cache, and can boost up to 5.1GHz. It includes AMD’s Radeon 890M graphics with RDNA 3.5 architecture, running at 2900MHz. Performance is similar to entry-level discrete GPUs like the GeForce RTX 2050. The system delivers up to 80 TOPS of combined AI performance from the CPU, GPU, and NPU.
You can install up to 128GB of dual-channel DDR5-5600 memory. Storage goes up to 4TB using two PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 SSD slots. Acemagic includes its Fresh Air Cooling System 3.0, which uses dual copper heat pipes, copper fins, and a high-speed centrifugal fan to keep temperatures stable during gaming and AI tasks.
For ports, there’s one USB4 with 100W Power Delivery, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports. Display outputs include HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.0, supporting up to four 8K displays at once. Network options include dual 2.5Gb Ethernet, WiFi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4, plus a 3.5mm audio jack. The system comes with Windows 11 Pro and supports external GPUs through the USB4 port.

The Retro X5 starts at CNY 6,499 in China, which is about $941. International availability hasn’t been confirmed yet.
