BOSGAME opened pre-orders on November 3, 2026 for the BOSGAME M5 Max, a mini PC built for local artificial intelligence, priced at $6,199. The price is an introductory offer for the first batch and applies until the initial allocation sells out, according to the manufacturer's official listing.
The highlight is the combination of 192GB of unified memory with AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor, codenamed Gorgon Halo. The chip has 16 Zen 5 cores and 32 threads, with boost speeds of up to 5.2 GHz, Radeon 8065S integrated graphics with 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units, and an NPU rated at up to 55 TOPS. BOSGAME claims up to 131 TOPS of total AI compute.
Unified memory for local AI
Memory is the product's core selling point: because it is unified and shared between the CPU, GPU and NPU, it lets users load large language models locally, without the ceiling imposed by a discrete graphics card's VRAM. According to Notebookcheck, up to 160GB can be allocated to the GPU. BOSGAME advertises support for models of up to 320 billion parameters, but that figure depends on model quantization and available memory — and there are no independent benchmarks of the BOSGAME M5 Max yet. The same chip also powers the OneXPlayer Super X Pro, a 2-in-1 tablet with up to 192GB of unified memory.
One detail deserves attention: BOSGAME describes the memory as LPDDR5, while AMD specifies LPDDR5X support at up to 8533 MT/s for the processor. The actual memory speed of this configuration has not been confirmed by the manufacturer.
Connectivity and cooling
For storage, the BOSGAME M5 Max includes a 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD and a second, free M.2 2280 slot. Connectivity covers two 40 Gbps USB4 ports, three 10 Gbps USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, two 10GbE Ethernet ports, an OCuLink PCIe 4.0 x4 connector for external GPU expansion, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 and a UHS-II SD card reader. A physical switch selects between 55 W, 85 W and 125 W power profiles, and cooling uses three fans. The system runs Windows 11 and Ubuntu.
Price against rivals
Price is the strongest argument. With the same chip, 192GB and 2TB, the Acemagic F9A costs $6,699, the GMKtec EVO-X5 Pro goes for $6,799 and the Minisforum MS-S1 MAX-P495 for $7,399. AMD's own Ryzen AI Halo Developer Platform costs $7,299.99. The Framework Desktop, another mini PC with the same chip and 192GB, starts at $6,799 in DIY form without storage. In other words, the BOSGAME M5 Max lands $500 to $1,250 below its direct rivals, although configurations, connectivity and availability differ.
Pre-order with no shipping date
On the other hand, buying the BOSGAME M5 Max now is a pre-order bet: BOSGAME has not announced a firm shipping date. Local shipping is available for the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union; other markets receive orders shipped from China. It is also worth noting that the company's original schedule, published in September, planned the 128GB model for November and the 192GB version only for early 2027 — the 192GB version arrived ahead of schedule.
