Gigabyte is preparing to launch the BRIX GB-BRR7-450, a compact mini PC measuring 11.9 x 11.3 x 3.4 cm (4.7 x 4.4 x 1.4 inches) powered by AMD's Ryzen AI 400 "Gorgon Point" processor. The new model offers an AMD alternative to Gigabyte's recently announced Intel Panther Lake-based BRIX BRU9-386H, while delivering a performance upgrade over previous AMD-powered models like the BRR7H-7730 and BRIX Extreme BER7-8840.
The GB-BRR7-450 supports up to 96GB of DDR5-5600 memory through SODIMM or CSO-DIMM slots and includes two M.2 2280 slots, one supporting PCIe 5.0 SSDs and the other PCIe 4.0. AMD's Ryzen AI 400 series, based on Zen 5 architecture with up to 12 cores and integrated RDNA 3.5 graphics, delivers significant performance improvements over previous generation chips, with the flagship Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 reaching boost clocks up to 5.2 GHz and including a 60 TOPS NPU for AI workloads. The processor's NPU has gained Linux support through mainline kernel integration, with the AMDXDNA accelerator driver working with Ryzen AI 300 and 400 series SoCs, while AMD's ROCm 7.2.2 software extends compatibility across Windows and Linux with Ryzen AI 400 support introduced at CES 2026.
The system includes comprehensive connectivity with one USB4 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one USB 2.0 Type-A port, two HDMI 2.1 outputs, a 3.5mm audio jack, and 2.5 GbE LAN. The mini PC supports up to four simultaneous displays using both HDMI 2.1 ports and two USB Type-C ports with DisplayPort 2.1 Alt Mode. The rear USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port supports USB Power Delivery, allowing a single cable connection to compatible monitors for both video and power.
Gigabyte has not yet announced pricing or availability for the GB-BRR7-450, and the product page currently lacks images of the new model. The system will include an M.2 2230 slot for a wireless card, though the specific Wi-Fi module has not been confirmed.
