A mini PC with a user-installable desktop processor is a rare thing, and that is the pitch behind the ASRock Tiny H810, the debut model in the company's new Tiny Series. The chassis measures 168.5 x 183 x 37 mm (6.6 x 7.2 x 1.5 inches) and accepts any Intel LGA1851 chip within a 65-watt envelope, meaning builders can drop in an Arrow Lake-based Core Ultra of their choice rather than living with the soldered SoC found in most systems this size.
Two memory slots accept up to 128 GB of DDR5, running at DDR5-6400 with CSO-DIMM modules or DDR5-5600 using standard SODIMMs. Storage is the more notable trick for a footprint this small: one M.2 2280 slot wired for PCIe Gen 5 x4, a second 2280 slot at PCIe Gen 4 x4, and two SATA III connectors for 2.5-inch drives. A separate M.2 2230 slot handles the Wi-Fi card.
Dual 2.5 GbE controllers and the four-drive layout make the box a credible host for Proxmox, TrueNAS Scale, or a small OPNsense build, and Arrow Lake's Xe-LPG integrated graphics have been in mainline Linux since the 6.9 kernel, where they are handled by the i915 driver by default. Intel's newer xe driver, the intended long-term replacement for i915 across current and future Intel GPU generations, is picking up Arrow Lake coverage in more recent kernel releases. The rear I/O includes one DisplayPort, one HDMI, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, one USB 2.0 Type-C, two USB 2.0 Type-A, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, two mic inputs, and a line output. ASRock's announcement also lists a Thunderbolt 4 port, although the spec card displayed alongside the unit at Computex does not mention it, leaving some ambiguity about whether the Type-C connector on the signage is the Thunderbolt port or whether one is missing from the show floor sample.
ASRock has not announced pricing or a ship date. The Tiny H810 is on display this week at Computex in Taipei, where Profesional Review photographed the system next to its spec sheet.
