ACEMAGIC Kron Mini K5 launches with Intel Core 5 320 Wildcat Lake CPU
ACEMAGIC has announced the Kron Mini K5, a compact desktop PC based on Intel’s Core 5 320 processor. The company is calling it one of the first mini PCs with this Wildcat Lake chip.
Beelink already announced systems with the Core 3 304 in May. ACEMAGIC’s model is based on the faster Core 5 320, which has a 6-core configuration. The Core 5 320 belongs to Intel’s Core Series 3 family. Intel lists this processor with 2 Performance cores and 4 Low Power Efficient cores, for 6 cores and 6 threads in total. The chip has a 4.6 GHz maximum turbo clock, 6MB of Smart Cache and Intel 18A lithography.
Intel lists the Core 5 320 with a 15W base power and 35W maximum turbo power. ACEMAGIC says the Kron Mini K5 can sustain up to 25W. The system also includes an Intel AI Boost NPU rated at 16 TOPS INT8.
2 Xe-core graphics and single-channel memory
The integrated GPU is a small Intel Graphics configuration with 2 Xe-cores. Intel lists it at up to 2.5 GHz with 20 TOPS INT8 GPU AI compute. The processor supports three displays, AV1 encode/decode and Intel Quick Sync Video.

ACEMAGIC says the Kron Mini K5 supports triple 4K 60 Hz output through HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4 and USB-C with DisplayPort 1.4. The system also has 16GB of onboard LPDDR5-6400 memory, so memory upgrades should not be expected.
Storage includes a preinstalled 512GB NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD. ACEMAGIC also lists two M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0 x2 slots with tool-less access. Intel’s official Core 5 320 spec lists only six PCIe 4.0 lanes, so the final storage layout may need confirmation once the product page goes live.
ACEMAGIC has not confirmed US or EU pricing yet. The company also has not posted a full product page at the time of writing. For now, the official information comes from ACEMAGIC’s Reddit post.
