AMD Bets on the AI Edge with Ryzen AI Halo Mini PC Against DGX Spark
AMD launched the Ryzen AI Halo Mini PC at $3999, packing a Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 SoC (Zen 5, 16 cores, 50 TOPS NPU), 128 GB RAM, 2 TB storage in a compact 5.9"x5.9"x1.7" chassis with ROCm 7.2.2 and a Dev-ready software stack. It positions itself as a cheaper, capable alternative to NVIDIA’s DGX Spark (around $4679), claiming higher token throughput and strong local AI economics (potentially breaking even in ~6 months vs cloud costs) while teasing a future MAX+ 495 with 192 GB RAM for even larger models in Q3 2026. Availability starts in June.
