Minisforum Upgrades Its Tiny Powerhouse with the Panther Lake–Fueled MS-03
Minisforum today teased the MS-03, a Panther Lake-based upgrade to the MS-01 SFF PC that keeps the same chassis but adds a higher 70W TDP, PCIe lane reallocation, DDR5-7200 support, and an AI-capable NPU. The system uses Core Ultra Series 3 Panther Lake H-series CPUs, includes Wi‑Fi 7 and Thunderbolt 4 via USB-C, and offers two 10GbE SFP+ plus two 2.5GbE RJ45 networking, plus HDMI 2.1. Internally, all three M.2 slots get Gen4 speeds, with two Gen5 x4 slots, at the expense of the PCIe x16 slot (Gen5 x4). Front I/O remains a single 10Gbps USB-A plus two USB 2.0 ports; it’s powered by an external 19V brick. Shipping starts later this month, with price not yet announced.
