Acemagic has launched the F2A mini PC with Intel Panther Lake processors, offering local AI processing and modern connectivity. It is priced at $1,099 during the preorder period, down from the stated $1,699 regular price, with shipping set to begin on August 31.
Acemagic F2A Specifications
The F2A features an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor with 16 cores, built on the Intel 18A process and using a hybrid core design. It includes a 50 TOPS NPU for AI workloads, while the CPU, NPU, and integrated graphics together deliver up to 180 TOPS of theoretical AI performance.
For graphics, the F2A relies on an integrated Arc B390 GPU, based on the Xe3 architecture. It includes 12 Xe-cores and supports modern standards like AV1 encoding and decoding, ray tracing, and XeSS upscaling.
Inside the 128 x 128 x 37 mm case, the F2A comes with 32GB of soldered LPDDR5X memory and a 1TB NVMe SSD. It supports up to 4TB of storage through two M.2 2280 slots, with one supporting PCIe 4.0 and the other PCIe 5.0.
For connectivity, the front panel includes a 40Gbps USB4 Type-C port, which Acemagic says supports external GPU (eGPU) expansion for those who need more graphics power than the integrated chips can provide, alongside two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
The rear panel houses an HDMI 2.1 TMDS port, a DisplayPort, dual 2.5Gbps Ethernet jacks, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and a secondary 20Gbps USB-C port that supports 100W power delivery input and DP 1.4. For wireless networking, it includes Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.
The mini PC can drive up to four displays simultaneously, including an 8K monitor through DisplayPort 2.1. The F2A ships with Windows 11 Pro, though Acemagic says it also supports Linux and Ubuntu.
