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. At just 600 g, it remains light enough for flexible placement. Storage is handled by a 1TB NVMe SSD, offering fast flash-based access for the operating system and applications.
The processor operates with a TDP of 28W and spans 12 cores — four running at 1.2 GHz and eight at 0.7 GHz — with a turbo clock speed reaching up to 4.5 GHz. It supports multithreading across 18 threads and carries an 18 MB L3 cache, while the clock multiplier is set at 36 with no unlocked multiplier available. The CPU includes integrated graphics, supports 64-bit instructions, and has a maximum rated temperature of 110 °C.
The integrated graphics solution runs at a base clock of 300 MHz and can boost up to 2200 MHz, with its silicon manufactured on a 7 nm process. It is equipped with 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 render output units, and connects via PCIe 5. API support covers DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3, making it compatible with a broad range of software workloads. The GPU can drive up to four displays simultaneously.
The system comes equipped with 32GB of DDR5 RAM running at a speed of 5600 MHz, providing a modern memory configuration suited to the platform's capabilities.
Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 4, 5, 6, 6E, and Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), alongside Bluetooth 5.4. On the wired side, the unit provides one USB 2.0 port, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and two USB4 40Gbps ports that also function as Thunderbolt 4 connections; there are no USB 3.2 Gen 1, Gen 2x2, or USB4 20Gbps ports present. Display output is handled through one HDMI 1.1 port and one DisplayPort 1.4 output, while VGA is not available. A single RJ45 port covers wired networking, and audio connectivity includes both a 3.5 mm headset jack and an AUX input, though there is no S/PDIF output.
In benchmark testing, the processor achieves a PassMark multi-core score of 21,104 and a single-core score of 3,400, with the overclocked result reaching 22,756. Geekbench 6 results stand at 10,239 for multi-core and 2,256 for single-core performance.
The processor is a laptop-class chip that employs big.LITTLE technology and supports a broad set of instruction sets including MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, with NX bit also present for hardware-level execution protection. Memory can be configured up to 128GB across two channels, with a maximum RAM speed of 5600 MHz, though ECC memory is not supported. The GPU features 7 execution units, and storage runs on flash-based media. The product ships with a 2-year warranty.
