The Sixunited AXB88 is a comparatively small mini-PC thanks to its 160 x 160 x 47 mm dimensions and 1.2 litre case volume. Nonetheless, the new release seeks to rival the GMKtec EVO-X2 and other high-end models courtesy of AMD’s Strix Halo platform with a Radeon 8060S iGPU.

At the same time, the company also introduced two mini-PCs backed by the same architecture. While those featured 2-litre and 4-litre cases, respectively, Sixunited claims to have gone even smaller with the Mini AI Workstation AXB88. As the graphic below shows, the AXB88 measures 160 x 160 x 47 mm regardless of the two finishes shown, which is much smaller than competing Strix Halo mini-PCs like the GMKtec EVO-X2 (curr. $1,699 on Amazon).

In other words, the AXB88 features a 1.2-litre case volume. Nonetheless, the mini-PC is said to deliver a 120 W TDP to its APU with a 230 W PSU too. Additionally, Sixunited has included dual USB4 ports and M.2 2280 slots that support up to PCIe 4.0 x4 SSDs. As it stands, Sixunited hopes to begin mass production in March. There is no word on international availability yet, though.
