Specifications
ETA Prime has thoroughly reviewed the Soyo S9 AI. The heart of the device is the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor (Strix Point), which has 12 computing cores of the Zen 5 architecture. The processor structure includes four full-fledged Zen 5 cores and eight energy-efficient Zen 5c cores.
Interfaces and data storage
On the front panel of the mini-PC there are two USB-A and one USB-C ports, although the latter did not function in the test sample. The rear panel has two HDMI outputs, an Ethernet port, two more USB-A and one USB-C. In the final version of the product, the front Type-C port will support the USB4 standard. The device is equipped with three M.2 NVMe PCIe 4 slots for SSD drives, one of which also did not work in the test sample, but the manufacturer guarantees full functionality in production models.
RAM and Graphics
Soyo S9 AI uses LPDDR5X memory and will be available in 16GB, 32GB configurations or 64 GB RAM. It is important to note that there is no option to upgrade the RAM, since the LPDDR5X chips are soldered to the motherboard. Graphics processing is handled by the integrated Radeon 890M graphics core, based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture.

ETA Prime ran a number of tests on popular AAA games including Cyberpunk 2077, Ghost of Tsushima and Horizon Forbidden West. In most cases, we were able to achieve high frame rates at low graphics settings in 1080p resolution.

Wow, a mini PC with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370! 🤯 Sounds impressive. I wonder how much more powerful it will be than regular laptops?
Lukas
Isabella, judging by the review, it is quite powerful! Cyberpunk 2077 on low settings at 1080p is already quite good for a mini PC. Although it’s a pity that the RAM cannot be updated 😕
Amélie
But I'm more interested in the price. If adequate, this could be a great alternative to bulky desktops! 💻💰
Diego
I agree with Amélie! Price will be a key factor. Although three M.2 NVMe slots are already very cool for such a baby! 🚀
Viktor
It's all nonsense. Why do you need such a baby when there are normal computers? You'll just waste your money on a newfangled toy.
Isabella
Viktor, don't be such a pessimist! 😄 For many, this is a great space-saving option. Imagine how convenient it is to take such a PC with you on a trip!
Lukas
Isabella is right! I would love to use a PC like this for work and light gaming. I wonder how it will cope with video rendering? 🎥🤔
Amélie
Guys, have you noticed that there is also RDNA 3.5? These are the latest graphics from AMD! Maybe he can cope with more difficult tasks? 🎮🖼️
