Edge AI from Sapphire powered by Zen5 and RDNA3.5
Still, the main feature is XDNA2 NPU with 50 TOPS.
Looks like we finally have a new contender in the Mini-PC market. Sapphire has officially launched its EDGE AI series, first shown earlier this year at several trade events. The systems match what was already expected in terms of design and specifications, featuring Ryzen AI 300 processors based on Strix Point or Krackan Point.
The company has released full details but forgot to include pricing. The press release leaves each “MSRP” line blank, which suggests the final figures were not ready at launch.

Each model in the lineup: EDGE AI 370, 350, and 34, comes with an AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processor equipped with an integrated NPU delivering up to 50 TOPS of AI performance. The systems feature Radeon 800M graphics, DDR5 SO-DIMM support, and M.2 NVMe storage. Connectivity includes 2.5G Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, and multiple I/O ports.
Measuring 117 × 111 × 30 mm, the chassis is compact and tool-less, with a magnetic top cover for quick upgrades. All configurations ship as barebones systems, allowing users to install their own memory, storage, and operating system.

Sapphire positions the EDGE AI series as a platform for both consumer and professional use, from education and office automation to content creation. The systems are also listed as “Copilot+ PC-ready”, not sure if anyone cares though.
Pricing and regional availability are expected to be announced later.
