MaxSun's tweaked ARL-HX Micro Station: Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX + dual Arc PRO B60 24GB GPUs

MaxSun has just introduced its new ARL-HX Micro Station, a new mini AI workstation machine packed with all-Intel hardware, including an Arrow Lake-S processor and dual Arc PRO GPUs.

The new MaxSun ARL-HX Micro Station features an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX (24 cores @ up to 5.4GHz), dual PCIe Gen5 GPU support -- with up to 2 x Arc PRO B60 AI GPUs with 24GB VRAM each -- up to 256GB of DDR5 which is overclockable to 7200MT/s, Thunderbolt 5 connectivity, alongside SlimSAS + PCIe x4 + 10GbE ethernet, and Wi-Fi 7.

This all fits into a 20L compact, purpose-built AI workstation system that sports a full metal chassis, with MaxSun designing the case with a bunch of potential for cooling.

We have vents and mesh grills on the front and sides of the ARL-HX Micro Station, with independent thermal chambers for the CPU and GPUs, making sure each component inside gets enough cooling when under maximum loads (especially in AI workloads).

You can even install a standard ATX power supply inside of the MaxSun ARL-HX Micro Station.

On the CPU side of things we've got the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX desktop-grade mobile processor, rocking 8 P-Cores and 16 E-Cores, with up to 5.4GHz CPU boost and a maximum TDP of 160W, with the CPU soldered onto the MoTD motherboard inside. MaxSun supports up to 256GB of SO-DIMM DDR5 memory (4 x 64GB sticks) at up to 7200MT/s OC speeds.

MaxSun is using an interesting T-shaped design for its motherboard, with enhanced wiring supporting the larger OC speeds on the RAM. The ARL-HX Micro Station can support dual PCIe Gen5 slots, supporting dual graphics cards (each a dual-slot design) or a single GeForce RTX 5090 in a 3-slot design.

In its default configuration, the ARL-HX Micro Station will be powered by dual Intel Arc PRO B60 graphics cards, each with 24GB of VRAM for a total of 48GB of VRAM for AI workloads. MaxSun also has its own dual Arc PRO B60 with 48GB, so it would be cool to see dual Arc PRO B60 cards with up to 96GB of VRAM inside of this Micro Station system.

On the connectivity side MaxSun has you covered with 4 x Thunderbolt ports (2 x TB5 and 2 x TB4), a 10GbE + 2.5GbE LAN configuration, Wi-Fi 7 and plenty of USB ports on the front and rear to house everything you want to plug into the ARL-HX Micro Station.
