This mini PC has 192GB of RAM, yes RAM, but that's not the most surprising fact about it - the Orange Pi AI Studio Pro uses a Huawei Ascend 310 that's, on paper, 7x more powerful than AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (www.techradar.com)

Orange Pi has released the AI Studio Pro, a compact “mini PC” aimed at on‑device AI inference and edge deployments. The system can be configured with up to 192 GB of LPDDR4X (96 GB also available) running up to 4266 Mbps and is built around a dual Huawei Ascend 310 accelerator setup that Orange Pi claims can deliver 352 TOPS of AI throughput — a figure the company says is roughly 7× higher on paper than AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 for AI workloads. The machine runs Ubuntu 22.04.5 (Linux 5.15) today with Windows support promised later, and is marketed for local inference of distilled large models (e.g., Deepseek‑R1), office automation, content generation, IoT and smart transport. Technically, the Studio Pro emphasizes raw AI TOPS and memory capacity over general CPU/GPU performance: the 352 TOPS rating is specific to AI tasks, not overall compute. Practical limitations include minimal I/O (a single high‑speed USB4 port), meaning users will likely need hubs or docks for displays and storage, plus twin fans and standard desktop controls for cooling and management. Pricing starts around $1,900 (96 GB) and $2,200 (192 GB) with availability in China and via AliExpress internationally. For the AI/ML community this device is significant as an affordable, dense inference node for privacy‑sensitive or low‑latency local deployment, but adoption will hinge on software support, peripheral connectivity, and ecosystem maturity.
