FEVM's brand-new FAEX1 mini PC has turned up at retail in China, packing AMD's top-flight "Strix Halo" Ryzen AI Max+ 395 mobile processor into a tiny footprint. The PC system manufacturer has prior experience with this potent 16-core APU—around late April, they introduced their FA‑EX9 model. This slightly older design made use of a 2-liter case. Fast-forward to the tail end of 2025, this feat of engineering has been surpassed by the FAEX1—somehow squeezing a similar set of features into a 1.02-liter chassis. A "160 W maximum performance"-rated cooling setup consists of a large vapor chamber and two fans. According to an early hands-on video report—under normal 120 W conditions—the FAEX1 operates quietly at "below 40dB."

The ultra-compact mini PC sports a surprisingly comprehensive selection of ports, on front and back faces. Notably, an external GPU can be hooked up via an OCuLink port, or USB4. The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chipset already offers plenty of integrated graphics muscle; the Radeon 8060S iGPU is somewhat comparable to the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop dGPU, in terms of gaming performance . A JD.com store listing outlines a few FAEX1 SKU configurations—starting at 10,999 Yuan (~$1577 USD) for a basic system (no SSD bundled in) with 64 GB of LPDDR5X RAM onboard (soldered). The most expensive variant—sporting 128 GB of system memory—is priced at 13,999 Yuan (~$1982 USD).
