The world’s first Windows tablet with Ryzen AI features. Minisforum decided to take on a new direction for itself
Known for its mini-PCs, Minisforum decided to release a new product for itself. She announced the tablet.
While there are not all the details, since the announcement is preliminary, but it’s worth saying right away that this is a Windows tablet. Moreover, the company itself calls it the world’s first 2-in-1 Windows tablet with Ryzen AI features.
As you might guess, the tablet is based on an AMD processor, and, judging by the mention of AI, we are talking about Ryzen 7040, which have a hardware unit for working with artificial intelligence. Also, the tablet may receive an APU from the upcoming Ryzen 8000 line, but this is less likely.
As for those very functions, the tablet will pay special attention to tools where AI can be involved. These are Office 365 Copilot, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Studio, Azure AI Content Safety, and Microsoft Fabric. But all these are products that are not related to Minisforum, so it is not yet very clear what the company’s merit will be and how everything will be implemented.
The device will be released in the first quarter of 2024. Prices are not yet expected.

The Huawei Kirin 9000s platform is truly unique. It has a 12-core processor, although it’s far from record-breaking performance.
The Kirin 9000s platform continues to bring surprises, although smartphones based on it have been on sale for some time.
After the latest Huawei flagships received HarmonyOS 4.0.0.116, Geekbench software began to define the characteristics of the new SoC differently. If earlier it was seen as an eight-core solution, now the number of processor cores is indicated as 12.
It’s worth remembering here that AnTuTu initially determined that the platform had exactly 12 cores, however, including two Cortex-A34.
Geekbench, well, indicates the types of cores, but talks about three clusters: four cores with a frequency of 1.53 GHz, two with a frequency of 2.62 GHz and six with a frequency of 2.15 GHz. This information is confirmed by screenshots from the mobile version of the benchmark.
We have not yet seen mobile SoCs with 12-core CPUs. At the same time, the performance of the Kirin 9000s, despite this configuration, is far from flagship by 2023 standards, that is, the cores themselves are not the most powerful.

The Core i9-14900KF is extremely slightly ahead of the Core i9-13900K and significantly behind the Ryzen 9 7950X3D. The results of the new Intel CPU have appeared in PassMark
The Core i9-14900KF processor appeared in the PassMark benchmark database and immediately became the leader in the single-threaded performance rating.
Despite the fact that technically the Core i9-14900K/KF is a complete copy of the Core i9-13900KS, apparently there are some settings related to power limits. As a result, the new model is still a little faster than its predecessor, although this is unlikely to be noticeable in practice.
But in multi-threaded mode, which is much more important from a practical point of view, everything is more interesting: the new product differs vanishingly little in performance from the Core i9-13900K, and is even inferior to the Core i9-13900KS. And all of them are noticeably behind the Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
