ORICO downsizes Apple’s Mac Pro into a mini AI desktop powered by AMD APU, price starts at $550

ORICO introduces OmniPro, a compact AI desktop inspired by the Mac Pro design

The smaller Apple Mac Pro clone is powered by a Ryzen 7 8845HS APU

ORICO has officially launched the OmniPro, its first AI-powered desktop PC that borrows heavily from Apple’s Mac Pro aesthetic but comes in a much smaller chassis. At just 139 × 61 × 185 mm, the system is less than one-fifth the size of a Mac Pro, yet it adopts a similar aluminum tower look with a perforated front panel and a handle on top.

Inside, the OmniPro is powered by AMD’s Ryzen 7 8845HS (Hawk Point) processor, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads with boost clocks up to 5.1 GHz, alongside Radeon 780M graphics with 12 RDNA3 compute units at 2700 MHz. ORICO lists an “AI compute power” of 38 TOPS, but this number combines both GPU and NPU performance. The Hawk Point APU itself includes an NPU rated at only 16 TOPS. So much for ‘AI’.

The compact desktop supports 32 GB of DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM memory, dual PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 SSDs with up to 2 TB capacity, and features Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity. It includes multiple ports, and here we have full specs.
