⁉️So get this, AMD is making a bold move to own the affordable personal inferencing market by launching a Mini PC in June, a 128GB Shared Memory Inferencing Box 🎇 They call it the ⬭ Halo Box. 🧾 It's a Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 (16 Zen 5 cores + 40 RDNA 3.5 CUs + XDNA 2 NPU) ✅ Up to 128GB LPDDR5X-8533 unified memory ✅ Full ROCm support + Day-0 AI model optimization 🧪 Built for local AI development (up to ~200B param models) 📈 Direct shot at NVIDIA’s $4,699 DGX Spark and could cost $2,000–$3,000 (as they do now) 🤔 Why launch now during the RAM shortage? While memory makers divert capacity to HBM for AI data centers (driving LPDDR5X prices to spike and NVIDIA to raise the price of DGX Spark by $700), AMD is making a bold move to own the affordable, high-memory AI mini-PC segment before the crisis worsens. 💡 My Speculation: AMD could be using its contracts, relationships, and strategic priority to secure better memory access than many traditional OEMs. This could give them an advantage in launching the Halo Box during the shortage. Smart timing or risky bet? 🔥 This is AMD aggressively fighting for the local AI developer market.







Give me one solid reason.. to choose a Windows laptop over a MacBook



@c3rb3ru5d3d53c Most Mac’s have a longer lifetime than PCs no matter whether they have memory or disks that can be replaced. Overall quality of build is far more superior..





@HackingDave Appreciate the report. Have you tried the specific steps I mentioned above? And are you able to run /feedback? We think we have pinpointed and fixed the issue, but would love your help double checking.
