Minisforum MS-A2 Mini PC Packs A Ryzen 9 9955HX And Dual 10GbE LAN For $799

Minisforum is having a sale on its MS-A2, a tiny system with some big hardware options, not the least of which AMD's Ryzen 9 9955HX Fire Range processor that was part of an onslaught of chip releases at last year's CES event. It also wields some impressive wired connectivity options for ultra-high-speed data transfers.

Starting with the Fire Range chip, the Ryzen 9 9955HX is based on AMD's latest-generation Zen 5 architecture with a 16-core/32-thread design. It has a 2.5GHz base clock, up to a 5.4GHz boost clock, 16MB of L2 cache and 64MB of L3 cache (for 80MB of total cache), and onboard Radeon 610M graphics with two cores clocked at up to 2.2GHz. It lacks an onboard NPU and doesn't have any 3D V-Cache like the Ryzen 9 9955HX3D, but is otherwise a stout slice of modern silicon.
