The Acemagic Retro X3 follows a Micro-ATX form factor and occupies a compact footprint, measuring 128.2 mm in both width and thickness, with a height of just 44 mm and a total volume of roughly 723 cm³. Storage is handled by a 4000GB NVMe SSD, offering fast read and write access through the NVMe interface rather than a conventional SATA drive.
The CPU runs eight cores at a base clock of 3.8 GHz, with a turbo frequency reaching 4.9 GHz, and supports 16 threads through multithreading, all within a 45W TDP envelope and a maximum operating temperature of 100 °C. Cache is distributed as 1 MB of L2 per core totalling 8 MB, and 2 MB of L3 per core totalling 16 MB of L3 cache, with a clock multiplier of 38 that is not unlocked for overclocking. The processor supports 64-bit computing and includes integrated graphics, rounding out a well-specified CPU configuration for a compact system.
The integrated graphics solution delivers 8.294 TFLOPS of floating-point performance, with a base GPU clock of 800 MHz that boosts up to 2600 MHz, backed by 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs producing a texture rate of 129.6 GTexels/s and a pixel rate of 86.4 GPixel/s. Built on a 4 nm semiconductor process with 25,390 million transistors, it connects via PCIe 4 and supports DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 2.1, along with ray tracing and double precision floating point, though DLSS is not supported. Multi-display output is supported across up to four screens, and the GPU is capable of handling compute workloads thanks to its broad API compatibility.
The system is equipped with 128GB of DDR5 RAM running at 5600 MHz, providing a substantial amount of memory bandwidth and capacity for a compact machine in this category.
The Retro X3 offers a well-rounded set of ports, led by six USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports alongside a single USB 4 40Gbps port and one Thunderbolt 4 port, while older USB standards including USB 2.0, Gen 1, and Gen 2x2 are absent. Display output is handled through one HDMI 2.1 port and one DisplayPort, and a single RJ45 port provides wired network connectivity. A 3.5 mm headset jack is present, but there is no VGA connector and no S/PDIF output. Bluetooth 5.2 is built in, though Wi-Fi is not supported. The listed Wi-Fi standards (Wi-Fi 4, 5, and 6) appear in the spec data but the Wi-Fi toggle indicates wireless networking is not an active feature of this unit.
In PassMark testing, the Retro X3 scores 28,892 in the multi-threaded benchmark and 3,690 in the single-threaded test, with the overclocked result reaching 31,497, reflecting the additional headroom available when the processor is pushed beyond its default clock settings.
The Retro X3 is classified for both laptop and desktop use cases and features a Radeon 780M GPU built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, with stereoscopic 3D support included. Memory tops out at 128GB across two channels, with a maximum supported RAM speed of 7500 MHz, though ECC memory and external memory slots are not supported. The CPU does not use big.LITTLE technology but does include NX bit support and is compatible with a broad range of instruction sets including MMX, AES, AVX, AVX2, FMA3, F16C, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2. Cooling is handled without an air-water system, and the unit carries a one-year warranty.
