MINIX N304-AI Brings AI Computing to More Users with Intel® Wildcat Lake

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming a standard part of modern computing. Until recently, however, dedicated AI acceleration and on-device AI experiences were largely limited to premium PCs and high-performance workstations.

The MINIX N304-AI changes that.Built on Intel®’s latest Wildcat Lake platform and powered by the Intel® Core™ 3 Processor 304 with integrated Intel® AI Boost, the N304-AI delivers up to 24 TOPS of AI performance in a compact and efficient mini PC. It represents a new generation of AI PCs designed to make local AI computing accessible to a broader audience.

 

The Promise of Wildcat Lake

Intel® Wildcat Lake marks an important milestone in the evolution of AI PCs.

By bringing dedicated NPU acceleration to a broader range of computing platforms, Wildcat Lake enables AI-enhanced experiences to reach significantly more users than ever before. Combining CPU, GPU, and NPU resources within an efficient architecture, the platform delivers intelligent performance while maintaining low power consumption and cost-effective deployment.

The N304-AI is designed to unlock the full potential of this platform.

With Intel® AI Boost providing up to 15 TOPS of dedicated NPU performance and a total platform AI capability of up to 24 TOPS, the N304-AI enables a growing range of AI-powered applications and workflows directly on the device.

Democratizing AI Computing

AI should not be reserved for premium devices.

The N304-AI embodies MINIX’s vision of democratizing AI by bringing dedicated AI acceleration to a broader segment of users and organizations. From AI-assisted productivity and intelligent collaboration to content generation and language-based applications, users can experience the benefits of AI directly on their local device.

Running AI workloads locally offers several advantages:

• Faster response times
• Reduced dependence on cloud services
• Enhanced privacy and data security
• Lower long-term operating costs

By expanding access to AI computing, the N304-AI enables more consumers, businesses, educational institutions, and developers to participate in the AI PC era.
