CHUWI UniBox AI495 Pro Mini PC Debuts With Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 and Up to 192GB Memory
CHUWI has introduced the UniBox AI495 Pro, its most powerful mini PC to date, aimed at users who want serious local AI performance in a compact desktop system. The new machine is built around AMD’s high-end Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor and is designed to run large language models locally, including models up to 300B parameters, depending on configuration and workload.
The launch places CHUWI in the growing race for AI-focused mini PCs, a category that is quickly becoming more competitive as compact systems gain desktop-class processing power. Instead of relying on cloud-based AI tools, devices like the UniBox AI495 Pro are built to handle demanding AI tasks directly on the machine, offering improved privacy, lower latency, and more control for developers, creators, and advanced users.
At the center of the CHUWI UniBox AI495 Pro is the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on AMD’s latest Zen 5 architecture. This chip is currently one of the strongest options in AMD’s Ryzen AI lineup and delivers up to 131 AI TOPS of performance. That level of AI compute makes the system well suited for local inference, AI development, coding assistants, content creation workflows, data analysis, and other demanding workloads.
Compared with CHUWI’s earlier UniBox AI395, which used the Ryzen AI Max+ 395, the new UniBox AI495 Pro brings a modest but meaningful boost in processing and AI capability. The upgrade is especially important for users working with large local AI models, where memory capacity, bandwidth, and GPU resources can significantly affect performance.
Graphics are handled by the integrated Radeon 8065S GPU, which features 40 Compute Units based on AMD’s RDNA 3.5 architecture. While it is similar to the Radeon 8060S used in related hardware, the Radeon 8065S offers a slightly higher boost clock, giving the UniBox AI495 Pro an extra edge in GPU-accelerated workloads. For a mini PC, this integrated graphics solution is unusually powerful and can support AI processing, creative applications, media workloads, and light gaming.
One of the biggest upgrades is memory. The CHUWI UniBox AI495 Pro supports up to 192GB of LPDDR5X unified memory, a major jump from the 128GB limit found on the previous model. Memory speed has also improved, moving from 8000 MT/s to 8533 MT/s. This is particularly important for AI workloads, where large datasets and models need fast access to shared memory.
Out of the total 192GB memory capacity, the system can allocate up to 160GB as video memory. That makes the UniBox AI495 Pro especially interesting for users running large AI models locally, since high VRAM availability is often one of the biggest limitations on compact systems. With this configuration, CHUWI is clearly targeting AI developers, researchers, enthusiasts, and professionals who want workstation-like capabilities in a small form factor.
Storage options remain flexible, with the mini PC offering three M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slots. This gives users room to install multiple high-speed NVMe SSDs for operating systems, applications, datasets, project files, and AI models. For anyone working with large files or multiple model libraries, triple M.2 support is a valuable advantage.
Connectivity is another strong point. The UniBox AI495 Pro includes WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 for modern wireless performance, along with dual 10G LAN ports for high-speed wired networking. The system also includes multiple USB Type-A and USB Type-C ports, making it suitable for external drives, peripherals, displays, and other accessories.
Despite the powerful hardware inside, CHUWI has packed everything into a compact 2.9-liter chassis. The mini PC ships with a 240W power adapter, which should provide enough power for the processor, integrated graphics, memory, storage, and connected devices while keeping the overall footprint far smaller than a traditional desktop workstation.
CHUWI has not yet confirmed the official pricing or release date for the UniBox AI495 Pro. However, based on its specifications, the system is expected to appeal to users looking for a compact AI workstation, a powerful local LLM machine, or a high-performance mini PC for professional workloads.
With the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, up to 192GB of LPDDR5X memory, 160GB available as VRAM, Radeon 8065S graphics, triple PCIe 4.0 storage support, WiFi 7, and dual 10G networking, the CHUWI UniBox AI495 Pro stands out as one of the most ambitious AI mini PCs announced so far. For users who want strong local AI performance without building a full-size desktop, this compact system could become a highly attractive option once pricing and availability are revealed.
