The Morefine H1 Mini PC with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 delivers unmatched price-to-performance, powerful AI computing, and workstation-class performance in a compact design.
You must be aware that AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 APU is a powerful, power-efficient superchip, because this chip is capable of delivering desktop-grade performance. As soon as it was launched, many brands released Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395-based Mini AI Workstations—some branded them as professional AI workstations, while other brands positioned them as gaming Mini PCs, such as the Bosgame M5, ACEMAGIC Tank M1A Pro Plus, AOKZOE’s Mini Gaming PC, GEEKOM A9 Mega, and Minisforum MS-S1 MAX, which are being marketed as professional AI workstations. But it will ultimately depend on your work preference which machine will prove to be better for you, as there will be differences in prices among them.
However, the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395-based gaming mini PC will offer you a better cooling solution. So, let’s find out what you can get in the Morefine H1 mini PC and whether you should consider purchasing it.

Design:
Talking about the design, the chassis design of this Morefine H1 is quite similar to the Minisforum MS-S1 MAX AI Mini Workstation. In terms of chassis dimensions, it measures 188.4 x 97.5 x 248.5 mm. Both sides of the chassis have air vents. For CPU cooling, it has two silent fans, and for heat dissipation, the Morefine H1 comes with a cooler that has three oversized copper heat pipes, providing up to 140W of cooling. The Morefine H1 mini PC also comes with a built-in power supply, which includes a tiny cooling fan, which is a good thing. The special feature of this Morefine H1 is that it has a dedicated front IO button with three gear modes for performance. The first is the Mute mode, limited to 55W, suitable for office work. The second is the Balanced mode, limited to 85W. Finally, there is the Performance mode, which runs the machine at its full potential of 120 W, suitable for creations, AI computing, and gaming.

CPU:
If we talk about the processor, the Morefine H1 features AMD’s Ryzen 300 series Strix Halo series’ most famous and powerful superchip: the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395. This is an APU based on the Zen 5 architecture, and in terms of the CPU, you get 16 cores and 32 threads.
The base clock speed of this CPU is 3.0 GHz, and the maximum turbo boost clock is 5.1 GHz. The Ryzen AI MAX+ Pro 395 also comes with 64 MB of Level 3 cache memory. Regarding power consumption, the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395 consumes approximately 45 W to 120 W. The special thing about this superchip is that it’s an APU, which means it includes a powerful integrated GPU, which we will discuss further.
GPU:
The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395 features the Radeon RX 8060S iGPU, which is truly powerful. Based on Strix Halo Graphics RDNA 3.5, it boasts a total of 40 compute units and 2560 cores (shading units). This Radeon 8060S has a base clock of 1295 MHz and a boost clock of 2900 MHz. Thanks to the integrated GPU, approximately 96 GB of the super-fast 128 GB 8000 MHz LPDDR5X system memory will be shared with the iGPU, which is a significant advantage. You also get 256GB of bandwidth.
This Radeon RX 8060S iGPU delivers performance comparable to the Nvidia RTX 4070 (laptop). Therefore, you can easily perform 4K and 8K video editing, and as for gaming, it can comfortably handle high refresh rate gaming at 1080P Ultra settings and even 1440P gaming. This iGPU draws up to 55W of power at its peak, meaning the entire chip draws approximately 45W to 120W.
NPU:
You get the XDNA 2 NPU with a capacity of 50 TOPS, while the total capacity of this chip is 126 TOPS, which provides extreme AI computing power. This AMD Strix Halo chip was originally designed for high-end laptops, but it is proving to be a boon for high-end mini PC workstations because it offers better performance than Apple’s latest M4 Pro and M4 Max chips.
RAM/Storage:
The Morefine H1 Mini PC currently comes with only one memory and storage option: 128GB LPDDR5X memory with a 2TB SSD. This Morefine H1 Mini PC features onboard 8-channel LPDDR5X super-fast RAM clocked at 8000 MHz, which is incredibly fast. While standard LPDDR5 RAM offers speeds of approximately 5500 Mbps, LPDDR5X provides super-fast speeds of up to 8000 Mbps.
Of the 128GB of memory, up to 96GB is dedicated to the integrated GPU (iGPU).
In terms of storage, you get a pre-installed 2TB PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD. It also includes two full-size 2280 M.2 PCIe Gen 4.0 expansion slots, so you won’t have to worry about storage limitations; you can expand the storage up to 8TB.
Wireless:
For wireless connectivity, the Morefine H1 Mini PC features high-speed seventh-generation Wi-Fi 7, offering wireless speeds of up to 30 Gbps, compared to only 9.6 Gbps with Wi-Fi 6. It also includes lightning-fast Bluetooth 5.4, providing the fastest speeds and extended range.
IO Ports:
On the front side, you’ll find the power button, and below it, a dedicated performance mode button. Below that is an SD card 4.0 slot, followed by a USB Type-C (Gen 4) port that allows you to connect a 4K 160 Hz display. Below that, you’ll find two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type A ports and a 3.5 mm audio jack.

On the back, you’ll find two USB 2.0 Type A ports, one 2.1 HDMI (4K 160 Hz) port, one DisplayPort 1.4 (4K 160 Hz), one Gen 4.0 Type C port which also provides (4K 160 Hz) display output, followed by a 3.2 Gen 2 Type A port, an RJ45 LAN port, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and finally, an AC power connector.
Opinion:
If your work is AI-related and you’re looking for an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395-based mini workstation, you can confidently choose the Morefine H1 because it provides more value than other mini PCs from other brands that come with this superchip. Currently, only one variant of the Morefine H1 mini PC is available, which comes with 128 GB of LPDDR5X unified memory and a 2TB Gen 4 NVMe SSD. This is a good thing because, due to the current RAM and SSD shortage in the market, the prices of RAM and SSDs are skyrocketing, so this mini PC could be a great deal for you. You can purchase this mini PC from the official MOREFINE website for $2249, and if you buy it from the official site, you’ll get a $50 discount.
