Minisforum has introduced the BD895i SE, a new MoDT (Mobile on Desktop) Mini-ITX motherboard built around AMD's Ryzen 9 8945HX mobile processor. Similar in concept to the earlier BE7XXi HX series , the BD895i SE targets compact, high-performance desktop builds by combining a flagship mobile CPU with a full-featured ITX (170 × 170 mm) layout and a large, pre-installed CPU heatsink. The board features a 16-core, 32-thread Ryzen 9 8945HX processor, running at a 2.5 GHz base clock with boost speeds of up to 5.4 GHz. The CPU is rated at a 100 W TDP, with boost power reaching up to 120 W. Minisforum included a low-profile heatsink with four heatpipes and a total height of 37 mm leaving users the choice to add their own 120 mm fan if needed.

The BD895i SE motherboard features a full PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for a dedicated graphics card, as the integrated AMD Radeon 610M is not really suitable for gaming. Then there are two DDR5-5200 SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 96 GB and dual PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 2280 slots for NVMe storage. Another M.2 2230 E-Key slot is reserved for Wi-Fi or Bluetooth cards. In terms of connectivity, it offers HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode (all up to 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 120 Hz). A 2.5 GbE LAN port alongside a mix of USB 2.0, USB 3.2 Gen 1, and USB-C Gen 2 ports and full analog audio jacks on the rear I/O complements the specs. Power is supplied through standard ATX connectors, making the board compatible with conventional desktop PSUs. Pricing is set at around $423.90 in the US (regular price $529), while European pricing is listed at €439 (regular price €549). Minisforum BD895i SE is positioned as a compact but premium option for users looking to build a powerful small-form-factor system around AMD latest high-end mobile CPU.
