It has been a few weeks since AMD launched its Zen 5-based Ryzen AI 300 APUs aka Strix-Point for gaming laptops and mobile platforms. Several notebook manufacturers have already announced new gaming laptops with the latest Strix APUs but we haven't seen a mini-PC being announced with one of these chips. Although the estimated date for these mini-PCs is early October, ETA Prime has showcased the first benchmarks for one of these Mini PCs before its official launch.

ETA Prime has recently uploaded a video reviewing an early sample of the SOUYO S9 mini-PC based on the latest A<D Ryzen AI HX 370 APU with a clock speed of 2.0/5.1GHz(Base/Boost).
