When is the ACEMAGIC F9A PRO 495 coming out and how much will it cost?

ACEMAGIC has announced no price and no release date for the PRO 495. The store page lists it as coming soon, with no month given.

How much memory does the ACEMAGIC F9A PRO 495 support?

Up to 192GB of LPDDR5X-8533 on a 256-bit bus, shared by CPU, GPU and NPU. Up to 160GB can be assigned to graphics.

What is the difference between the ACEMAGIC F9A Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and PRO 495 versions?

The PRO 495 raises the memory ceiling from 128GB to 192GB and adds 100MHz to the CPU boost and iGPU clocks. Cores, the 40-CU RDNA 3.5 iGPU and memory bandwidth are unchanged, and early PassMark entries put it about 5% faster in CPU work.

Does the ACEMAGIC F9A support an external GPU?

Yes. It has an OCuLink (PCIe 4.0 x4) port for an external GPU, alongside two USB4 40Gbps ports.

Q: Can the ACEMAGIC F9A run DeepSeek V4 Flash locally?

ACEMAGIC says the unit has run the 284B-parameter model, and at 4-bit quantization it fits inside 160GB of GPU-assignable memory. No token-rate numbers have been published.

What is the ACEMAGIC F9A PRO 495?

The ACEMAGIC F9A PRO 495 is a 2-liter mini workstation built around AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, the 16-core “Gorgon Halo” refresh of Strix Halo that lifts unified memory from 128GB to 192GB. ACEMAGIC announced it by press release on September 3, 2026 and showed it at IFA 2026 in Berlin (Messe Berlin, Hall 6.2, Booth 128, September 4 to 8). It is one of the first PRO 495 mini PCs shown publicly, next to the GMKtec EVO-X5 Pro and a refreshed Framework Desktop. It is an announcement, not a shipping product: no price, no release date. Below, what is confirmed versus what is still marketing.

What’s confirmed: ACEMAGIC F9A PRO 495 specs

The press release, ACEMAGIC’s product page and the VideoCardz and TechPowerUp reports agree on the core sheet:

CPU: AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, 16 Zen 5 cores / 32 threads, boost up to 5.2GHz, 16MB L2 + 64MB L3
iGPU: Radeon 8065S, 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units, up to 3.0GHz
NPU: XDNA 2, up to 55 TOPS; AMD quotes 131 TOPS for the whole platform (CPU + GPU + NPU)
Memory: up to 192GB LPDDR5X-8533 on a 256-bit bus, shared by CPU, GPU and NPU, with up to 160GB assignable to graphics
Storage: dual M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe slots, up to 8TB total, RAID 0/1 supported
Expansion: OCuLink (PCIe 4.0 x4) for an external GPU
I/O: 2x USB4 40Gbps (DP Alt Mode), 3x USB-A 3.2 Gen 2, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, 3.5mm jack, front SD reader; dual 2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4
Chassis: 158.5 x 158.5 x 81.5mm (about 2 liters), CNC aluminum, VESA mountable, five heat pipes and a turbine fan
Demo claim: ACEMAGIC says the unit has run DeepSeek V4 Flash (284B parameters) locally

Two spec notes. ACEMAGIC’s European blog (and TechRadar, quoting it) lists the boost as 5.1GHz; AMD’s specification, the press release and ACEMAGIC’s US comparison table all say 5.2GHz, so that is the number we use. NotebookCheck mentions a single M.2 slot up to 4TB; the press release says dual slots and 8TB, and we go with the press release.

Can the ACEMAGIC F9A run DeepSeek V4 Flash locally?

ACEMAGIC says yes, and the memory math supports it: a 284B mixture-of-experts model at 4-bit quantization fits inside 160GB of GPU-assignable memory. What the demo does not tell you is the token rate. LPDDR5X-8533 on a 256-bit bus is roughly 273GB/s, the same ceiling as Strix Halo boxes like the GMKtec EVO-X2. Bigger models load; they do not run faster. No throughput numbers have been published.

What’s improved over the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 version

ACEMAGIC sells the F9A in two flavors and its product page carries a side-by-side table. The honest version:

Boost clock: 5.1GHz (Max+ 395) to 5.2GHz (PRO 495); base 3.0GHz to 3.1GHz.
iGPU: Radeon 8060S at 2.9GHz to Radeon 8065S at 3.0GHz. Same 40 CUs, same RDNA 3.5. The new name is a rebrand plus 100MHz.
Memory ceiling: 128GB to 192GB, the only change that matters. LPDDR5X-8000 to 8533.
GPU-assignable memory: 96GB to 160GB (ACEMAGIC’s stated Windows limits).
NPU: 50 TOPS to 55 TOPS; platform total from about 126 to 131 TOPS.
Model capacity, per ACEMAGIC: 70B dense / ~200B MoE on the 395, 120B dense / ~300B MoE on the PRO 495.

Two corrections to ACEMAGIC’s marketing. The table labels the 395’s NPU “XDNA 1”; that is wrong, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 already uses XDNA 2 and the PRO 495 keeps the same NPU generation at slightly higher throughput. And “up to 60% improvement” refers to the size of model that fits in memory, not speed: NotebookCheck’s read of early PassMark entries puts the PRO 495 about 5% faster than the 395 in CPU work, which is what 100MHz on identical silicon should give. Our Gorgon Halo explainer covers the platform in depth.

Practical takeaway: if 128GB is enough, the 395 version (pre-sales opened September 10) does the same job. If you need a 200B-plus model resident in memory, wait for the PRO 495.

What’s still unknown

Price. None announced for the PRO 495. TechRadar’s line (syndicated on Yahoo) that “prices above $2,000 would not be surprising” is an estimate, nothing more.
Release date. “Coming soon” on the store page, no month given.
Memory tiers. “Up to 192GB” implies smaller configurations; none are listed.
Sustained power. No TDP or cooling limit is published, and on Strix Halo boxes that setting decides real performance more than the boost clock.
Linux. ACEMAGIC lists Windows 11 only; Framework offers a Linux preload on its PRO 495 desktop, ACEMAGIC has said nothing.

What it means for mini PCs

The PRO 495 does not change the performance picture for a 2-liter box: same cores, same 40-CU iGPU, same bandwidth. What changes is the size of model a desk-side machine can hold without a discrete GPU or a rack. At 192GB the F9A matches GMKtec’s EVO-X5 Pro and the 192GB Framework Desktop in less than half the Framework’s 4.5-liter volume. The OCuLink port is the other reason to care: bolt on an AOOSTAR AG02 OCuLink dock and a desktop GPU for CUDA work or gaming, and keep the unified memory for model weights.

Expected timeline and price outlook

There is no announced price for the ACEMAGIC F9A PRO 495. For a floor, ACEMAGIC’s own M1A PRO+ with the Max+ 395 and 128GB lists at $2,699 to $3,099 on its US store; a 192GB box landing well above $3,000 would fit the market, but that is our inference, not ACEMAGIC’s number. NotebookCheck flags DRAM price inflation as the wild card. Timing: the 395 version went to pre-sale on September 10, 2026; the PRO 495 is “coming soon” with no date.

A note on ACEMAGIC’s track record

Neutral coverage still owes buyers the context. In early 2024 ACEMAGIC shipped mini PCs with malware preinstalled in the factory Windows image; the apology and remediation are in our AceMagic malware preinstall report, and NotebookCheck raised the episode again in its F9A coverage. Nothing about the F9A suggests a repeat, but a machine bought to run local models on private data deserves a clean OS image on arrival, not the shipped install. Our AceMagic AD08 review covers how the brand’s recent hardware has held up.

Sources & caveats

Specs come from ACEMAGIC’s September 3 press release, its US product page, and the VideoCardz, TechPowerUp, NotebookCheck and TechRadar reports. The DeepSeek V4 Flash claim is ACEMAGIC’s own; no independent outlet has benchmarked the unit, and the embedded videos are ACEMAGIC’s IFA and product footage, not reviews. We will test the F9A PRO 495 once retail units exist; until then every number above is a spec-sheet number.
