The Minix Neo Z95 uses a Micro-ATX form factor and occupies a total volume of 332.992 cm³, with dimensions of 88 mm in both width and thickness and a height of just 43 mm. Storage is handled by a 512GB NVMe SSD, offering solid read and write performance typical of flash-based NVMe drives in this class of device.
The CPU in the Minix Neo Z95 runs at a base speed of 4 x 1.7 GHz and can reach a turbo clock speed of 3.4 GHz across its 4 threads, operating within a 15W TDP envelope. It does not support multithreading or carry an unlocked multiplier, but it does include integrated graphics and full 64-bit support. Cache is structured across three levels — 384 KB of L1, 2 MB of L2 at 0.5 MB per core, and 6 MB of L3 cache at 1.5 MB per core — and the processor is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 105 °C.
The integrated graphics solution in the Minix Neo Z95 runs at a turbo frequency of 1200 MHz and is built on a 10 nm semiconductor process, with PCIe 3 handling the interface. It supports DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3, covering a solid range of graphics and compute APIs. The GPU is capable of driving up to 3 displays simultaneously, making multi-monitor configurations a viable option within the constraints of this compact platform.
The Minix Neo Z95 is equipped with 16GB of DDR5 RAM, representing the most current generation of double data rate memory available in this class of device. With DDR5 as the memory standard, the system benefits from the higher bandwidth and improved efficiency that this generation brings over its predecessors.
The Minix Neo Z95 supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) along with Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4, and includes Bluetooth 5.2 for wireless connectivity. On the wired side, two RJ45 ports are available for Ethernet connections. The USB layout consists of three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port; there are no USB-C, Thunderbolt, or USB 4 ports of any kind. Display output is handled through two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort output, while a 3.5 mm audio jack is also present. The device does not include a VGA connector or an S/PDIF output port.
In PassMark testing, the Minix Neo Z95 achieves a multi-core score of 5299 and a single-core result of 1908. When overclocked, the score rises modestly to 5435, reflecting a small but measurable gain over the standard configuration.
The Minix Neo Z95 uses a laptop-type CPU and integrates the UHD Graphics 16EU, which features 16 execution units. Memory is capped at 16GB, runs through a single channel, and supports a maximum speed of 4800 MHz; ECC memory is not supported, and there is no external memory slot. The processor supports a range of instruction sets including MMX, SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AES, AVX, AVX2, and FMA3, and the NX bit is present for hardware-level memory protection. The device does not use big.LITTLE technology or flash storage, and it does not use big.LITTLE core scheduling. A one-year warranty is included.
