Expanding its commercial lineup for modern digital workplaces, MSI has introduced the PRO MAX EDGE AI+ desktop PC to streamline demanding edge workflows and professional content creation. Built to deliver real-time responsiveness across advanced business applications, video editing, and complex data modeling, the compact workstation pairs high-speed unified memory with AMD’s next-generation XDNA 2 architecture. The platform offers creative studios and technical professionals a high-performance, low-latency alternative to cloud-dependent services in a space-saving desktop footprint.
At the heart of the PRO MAX EDGE AI+ is the AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 300 Series, with configurations available up to the Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395. The flagship processor integrates 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, 40 RDNA™ 3.5 graphics compute units and an XDNA™ 2 NPU delivering up to 50 TOPS. The complete platform delivers up to 126 TOPS of total AI performance, giving users CPU, GPU and NPU resources for AI-assisted productivity and compute-intensive professional workloads.
The PRO MAX EDGE AI+ supports up to 128GB of LPDDR5X unified memory at 8000 MT/s, with up to 96GB configurable as graphics memory . Because the CPU and integrated GPU share the same memory pool, compatible AI applications can access more memory than is typically available to a conventional integrated GPU. In supported configurations, the system can run large language models with up to 120 billion parameters locally. Actual model compatibility and performance vary according to model architecture, quantization, context length, software and system configuration.
For teams whose workloads exceed the capacity of one computer, multiple PRO MAX EDGE AI+ systems can be connected as a local cluster. MSI’s published validation table includes configurations ranging from a two-node setup for selected 120B and 235B models to a four-node setup for DeepSeek-V3.1 with 671 billion parameters using Q4_0 quantization. This approach allows teams to scale local inference capacity while maintaining control over their deployment environment. Results depend on the selected model, quantization, cluster software and workload.
MSI equips the PRO MAX EDGE AI+ with Frozr AI Pro cooling and Glacier Armor storage cooling. A copper heat spreader, three heat pipes and a triple-fan design help manage heat during sustained AI and professional workloads, while dedicated heatsinks support the system’s dual PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD slots.
The 4-liter aluminum chassis integrates a 300W power supply, eliminating the need for a bulky external power adapter. A three-stage physical performance switch lets users select calibrated power profiles without opening a software control panel, helping balance performance, thermals and acoustics for different tasks.
For network and display connectivity, the PRO MAX EDGE AI+ supports Wi-Fi 7 and up to four independent displays through HDMI™ 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a and two USB 40Gbps Type-C ports with DisplayPort Alt Mode. Additional front and rear connections include USB Type-A ports, dual audio jacks, RJ45 Ethernet and an SD 4.0 UHS-II card reader.
