Minisforum Launches T5 Max-388 Mini PC With Radeon 8060S Graphics and 48GB RAM for $1,559

Minisforum has introduced the T5 Max-388, a compact desktop PC powered by AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 388 processor and Radeon 8060S integrated graphics, priced at $1,559.

The new system includes 48GB of LPDDR5 memory and a 1TB SSD, offering a relatively affordable option within AMD's high performance Strix Halo processor family.

The Ryzen AI Max+ 388 features eight Zen 5 CPU cores and retains the powerful Radeon 8060S integrated GPU found in more expensive configurations.

However, Minisforum has reduced the memory speed to 6400 MT/s, compared with the 8000 MT/s supported by many competing Strix Halo systems.

This difference could affect gaming and professional workloads, particularly because the integrated graphics processor shares system memory.

The T5 Max-388 is available for preorder, with shipping expected to begin in early December 2026.

Ryzen AI Max+ 388 Combines Eight Zen 5 Cores With Radeon 8060S

The T5 Max-388 uses AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 388 processor, which includes eight CPU cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture.

The processor supports boost clock speeds reaching 5.0GHz.

Although it has fewer CPU cores than the flagship Ryzen AI Max+ models, it retains the Radeon 8060S integrated graphics processor.

The Radeon 8060S features 40 compute units based on AMD's RDNA 3.5 architecture.

That makes it particularly interesting for compact gaming systems that do not require a separate graphics card.

Minisforum claims the PC can achieve 223 FPS in Counter Strike 2 and 122 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p.

However, the company has not provided enough information about the graphics settings and testing conditions to establish how these figures compare with independent benchmarks.

The processor also supports AI acceleration, with Minisforum advertising up to 118 TOPS of combined AI performance.

Slower LPDDR5 Memory Could Affect Graphics Performance

One notable compromise is the T5 Max-388's memory configuration.

The system includes 48GB of LPDDR5 memory operating at 6400 MT/s instead of the faster 8000 MT/s commonly found in other Strix Halo computers.

This represents a 20% reduction in memory transfer rate.

Because the Radeon 8060S relies on shared system memory, the lower memory speed could reduce available bandwidth for graphics workloads.

The performance difference will depend on the application and how heavily it relies on memory bandwidth.

For storage, Minisforum provides two M.2 2280 SSD slots, supporting up to 8TB of total capacity.

The mini PC also includes USB Type-A and Type-C connections, HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, and dedicated audio connections.

Minisforum advertises support for up to four displays, making the device suitable for multitasking and productivity setups.

The combination of integrated graphics and substantial shared memory may also appeal to people interested in running compatible AI models locally.

However, the 48GB capacity and reduced memory speed should be considered when comparing the T5 Max-388 with more expensive alternatives.

Minisforum has priced the 48GB RAM and 1TB SSD configuration at $1,559, with deliveries scheduled to begin in early December 2026.
