Aoostar has launched a new mini PC called GEM12 Plus in the Chinese market. This compact powerhouse boasts the latest 13th Gen Intel Core i9 processors, offering desktop-grade performance in a space-saving design.

Aoostar GEM12 Plus Specifications:

The GEM12 Plus comes in two processor options: the Intel Core i9-12900HK and the i9-13900H. Both processors are capable of handling demanding tasks like video editing, 3D rendering, and even high-end gaming.

It features a VC (Vapor Chamber) cooling system that efficiently dissipates heat, allowing the system to sustain a 75W power release. This translates to smooth operation even under heavy workloads.

The mini PC supports dual PCIe 4.0×4 interfaces, which can accommodate two 2280 solid-state drives for increased storage capacity up to 2TB. It also supports up to 48GB of dual-channel DDR5 memory at 5200MHz, enhancing multitasking and smooth program transitions.

In terms of connectivity, the mini PC features a USB4 port with 40Gbps transfer speeds, perfect for connecting high-performance peripherals or external storage. Additionally, it boasts a full-function USB-C port, dual 2.5G Ethernet ports for blazing-fast wired networking, and dual HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 ports for connecting up to four 4K displays simultaneously.

The PC also comes with an OCuLink interface. This dedicated port allows for the connection of an external graphics card, significantly boosting graphical capabilities for demanding tasks like gaming or video editing with complex effects. Unlike some competitors, the OCuLink interface on the GEM12 Plus doesn’t occupy the M.2 slots, offering users more flexibility in storage configuration.

For wireless connectivity, the GEM12 Plus comes equipped with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.

The Mini PC comes with a compact form factor, measuring just 13cm x 13cm x 6cm and weighing only 0.66kg, making it easy to fit on a desk or mount behind a monitor for a space-saving setup. The body, CNC-machined from aluminum alloy and finished with sandblasting and anodizing, gives it a premium look and feel. The system is powered by a robust 120W USB-C power supply, providing ample power for all its functions.
