MINISFORUM MS-03 (Ultra 9 64GB + 1TB) vs MINISFORUM MS-S1 Max (64GB + 2TB)

The only audio input on the specification sheet is the 3.5mm combo jack.

The official front panel lists two digital microphones (DMIC).

The 10GbE RJ45 port uses a Realtek RTL8127 and the 2.5GbE port an Intel i226-LM with vPro enabled; the two 10G SFP+ cages are driven by an Intel X710.

The official rear-panel diagram lists two 10GbE RJ45 ports on Realtek RTL8127 controllers.

The 83x18mm 12V turbo fan peaks at 5100 RPM. MINISFORUM measures 32-45dB in Balance mode and 30-38dB in Quiet mode, at 50cm in an anechoic chamber.

The official page describes a copper base, six heat pipes, phase-change cooling and dual fans, with a 160W peak and 130W sustained.

16 cores and 16 threads with vPro enabled, 1.6 GHz efficient-core base and 4.9 GHz max turbo. MINISFORUM runs it at PL1 70W / PL2 80W in Balance mode and 45W in Quiet mode.

16 cores and 32 threads, max turbo 5.1 GHz. MINISFORUM lists Performance mode at 130W, Balanced at 95W and Quiet at 60W.

The name Intel and MINISFORUM both use for this processor's integrated graphics. Max dynamic frequency 2.5 GHz, with 40 peak Int8 TOPS.

MINISFORUM lists 40 GPU cores at up to 2900 MHz. Amazon's table names Radeon 8060S graphics at 2900 MHz.

The listing describes the 64 GB as dual-channel DDR5 across the two SO-DIMM slots.

The official specification lists LPDDR5x on a 256-bit bus, shared by the CPU, GPU and NPU.

Two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots, so the memory is replaceable rather than soldered.

Amazon's product table for this configuration lists 64GB of LPDDR5 at 8000 MHz, and the official sheet describes onboard unified memory rather than SODIMM slots.

The platform's official sheet allows up to 128GB, but this configuration is soldered at 64GB, so the capacity shipped is the capacity kept.

The platform supports 5600, 6400 and 7200 MT/s, and MINISFORUM notes that the memory shipment specification is 5600 MT/s.

MINISFORUM and Intel both state 50 peak Int8 TOPS for the NPU; neither publishes a separate brand name for it on this processor.

MINISFORUM states up to 50 TOPS from the NPU and up to 126 TOPS across the whole processor.

The Button / Hole section of the specification names only a power button and a reset hole, and no lock slot is visible on the rear panel.

The official rear panel diagram lists an anti-theft lock hole.

Barrel connector, 5.5 x 2.5 mm.

Power comes from an external brick, not an internal supply.

MINISFORUM lists a built-in 320W supply with CCC, FCC, UL, CE and UKCA certification, and an AC input on the rear panel.

Every slot takes up to 8 TB, two of the three accept 22110 drives, and the first also takes a U.2 enterprise SSD of up to 15 TB through the M.2-to-U.2 adapter in the box.

The official specification lists one M.2 2280 slot at PCIe 4.0 x4 and a second at PCIe 4.0 x1, each up to 8TB.

Both on the rear panel, carrying DisplayPort 2.1 Alt Mode.

The official diagram puts two USB4 ports at 40Gbps with DisplayPort 2.0 Alt Mode and 15W output on the front, and two USB4 V2 ports at 80Gbps with the same Alt Mode and power on the rear.
