Summary

  • Acemagic’s new F2A mini PC appeared at IFA 2026 in two nearly identical chassis, one built around Intel’s Core Ultra X7 358H and the other around AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 470.
  • The Intel model delivers up to 180 TOPS of combined AI performance with Arc B390 integrated graphics, while the AMD version reaches 86 TOPS overall and 55 TOPS from its XDNA 2 NPU with Radeon 890M graphics.
  • 16 cores and 16 threads on the Intel chip contrast with AMD’s 12 cores and 24 threads, with boost clocks of 4.8 GHz and 5.2 GHz respectively.
  • 32 GB of onboard LPDDR5X memory is standard on both systems, but storage expansion differs: Intel gets one PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot plus one PCIe 4.0 slot, while AMD uses two PCIe 4.0 x4 interfaces.
  • The launch highlights Acemagic’s strategy of offering Intel Panther Lake and AMD Gorgon Point platforms in the same compact mini-PC form factor.
