Corsair has just rolled out the AI Workstation 300, a compact 4.4-liter desktop tailored for local AI workloads. Powered by AMD Ryzen AI Max 300 Series processors—up to the Ryzen AI Max+ 395—the system delivers impressive power in a small chassis.
Under the hood, it boasts up to 128 GB LPDDR5X unified memory, with 96 GB available for dynamic GPU tasks, enabling handling of large models like Mistral Large 123B (BF16), which require around 92 GB of GPU memory. Most gaming GPUs simply can’t match that memory footprint.
Graphics are handled by an RDNA 3.5 GPU featuring 40 compute units, while AMD’s XDNA 2 NPU architecture churns out up to 50 TOPS of AI acceleration. This performance lets the AI Workstation 300 run tools like LM Studio, Stable Diffusion via Amuse-ai, and other client-side applications with ease.
For developers working with Model Context Protocol servers, the system’s high memory bandwidth and unified memory architecture minimize paging and improve performance during long-context AI workloads. Dynamic memory allocation ensures the system adjusts to the demands of large language models and other intensive AI tools, all while staying efficient.
Despite its small size, the workstation keeps cool under pressure with dual-fan cooling and a Performance Level Selector that lets users prioritize power or efficiency based on task needs. Even during heavy workloads, thermal throttling is kept to a minimum.
Corsair’s AI Software Suite is bundled in, providing access to engineering and creative tools, plus multiple layers of chip-to-cloud security to safeguard data, AI models, and AI workloads.
