Unlike the N5 Pro, which uses replaceable DDR5 SO-DIMMs, the N5 MAX uses onboard LPDDR5X unified memory connected through a 256-bit interface. Minisforum lists LPDDR5X-8000 as the default speed, with 8533 MT/s available through an OC mode. The company is promoting the 128GB configuration for running large local AI models, including 120B-class models.
MINISFORUM N5 MAX is now available with 128GB LPDDR5x unified memory.
Powered by the AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395, it delivers the processing power and memory headroom to run 120B-class open models locally.
