The Minisforum M1 Pro follows a Micro-ATX form factor and occupies a total volume of 846.72 cm³, with dimensions of 128 mm in thickness, 126 mm in width, and 52.5 mm in height — keeping its physical footprint notably compact at just 600 g. Storage is handled by a 2000GB NVMe SSD, offering fast flash-based storage in a small chassis designed for desktop use without the bulk of a traditional tower.
The CPU operates with a 45W thermal design power and features a hybrid core configuration running at 6 × 2.9 GHz and 8 × 2.7 GHz base clocks, with a turbo boost reaching up to 5.4 GHz across its 16 threads. It does not support multithreading and has a locked clock multiplier set at 29, meaning there is no overclocking flexibility. The processor includes integrated graphics, supports 64-bit computing, carries a 24 MB L3 cache, and is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 110 °C.
The integrated graphics solution runs at a base clock of 300 MHz with a turbo frequency of 2350 MHz, and is built on a 3 nm semiconductor process with 17,800 million transistors. It features 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units, connected via PCIe 5. API support covers DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3, while the GPU can drive up to four displays simultaneously.
The system is equipped with 64GB of DDR5 RAM running at 6400 MHz, providing a solid foundation for memory-intensive workloads within a compact form factor.
Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 4, 5, 6, 6E, and 7, alongside Bluetooth 5.4. On the wired side, the port selection includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports and two USB 4 40Gbps ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and one USB 2.0 port; there are no USB 3.2 Gen 1 or USB-C ports of any generation. Video output is handled by one DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 1.1 port, with no VGA connector present. The unit also provides one RJ45 Ethernet port, a 3.5 mm headset jack with AUX input support, but no S/PDIF output.
In benchmark testing, the processor achieves a PassMark multi-threaded score of 33,969 and a single-threaded score of 4,472, with an overclocked PassMark result of 34,411. Geekbench 6 results stand at 17,173 for the multi-core test and 2,897 for the single-core test.
The system uses a laptop-class CPU mounted on a BGA 2049 socket, employing big.LITTLE technology for mixed core operation, and pairs with an Arc 140T GPU featuring 128 execution units. Memory can be expanded up to a maximum of 128GB across two channels, with RAM speeds supported up to 8400 MHz, though ECC memory is not supported. The CPU supports a broad set of instruction sets including MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, and includes NX bit support for hardware-level security. Flash storage is used throughout, and the unit comes with a 2-year warranty.
