The Minisforum MS-02 Ultra ships with a 1TB NVMe SSD, offering fast storage access in a form factor that measures 221 mm in depth, 225 mm in height, and 97 mm in width, giving it a total volume of roughly 4823 cm³. Despite the compact dimensions, the unit weighs 3300 g, reflecting a solid, well-built chassis rather than an ultralight enclosure.
The processor runs eight cores at 2.8 GHz and sixteen cores at 2.1 GHz, totaling 24 threads, with a turbo clock speed that reaches 5.5 GHz via Turbo Boost version 2 and a clock multiplier of 28 that remains unlocked for additional flexibility. It operates within a 55W TDP and can sustain temperatures up to 105 °C, while the cache configuration includes 40 MB of L2 and 36 MB of L3. The CPU also features integrated graphics, supports 64-bit processing, and includes the NX bit for hardware-level memory protection.
The integrated graphics solution has a base clock of 300 MHz and a turbo frequency of 2000 MHz, built on a 3 nm semiconductor process and connected via PCIe 5. It supports up to four displays simultaneously and is compatible with DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5, and OpenCL 3, covering a broad range of rendering and compute workloads.
The system comes equipped with 32GB of DDR5 RAM running at 4800 MHz, providing a solid foundation for memory-intensive tasks within a compact mini PC form factor.
Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 4, 5, 6, 6E, and 7 alongside Bluetooth 5.4, while the wired side offers three Thunderbolt 4 ports that also function as USB 4 40Gbps outputs, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, and two RJ45 Ethernet jacks. Display output is handled by three DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI 2.1 port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack is present for headset use. There is no VGA connector, no S/PDIF output, and no USB 2.0, USB 3.2 Gen 1, or USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 ports of any kind.
In PassMark testing, the processor achieves a multi-threaded score of 62297 alongside a single-threaded score of 4784, giving a concrete indication of both its parallel processing throughput and its per-core responsiveness.
The processor is a laptop-type chip mounted in a BGA 2114 socket and employs big.LITTLE technology for its hybrid core arrangement, with support for instruction sets including MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, as well as the NX bit for memory security. Memory can scale up to 192GB across two channels, with a maximum RAM speed of 6400 MHz, and the system supports ECC memory for added data integrity. The product ships with a 2-year warranty.
