CORSAIR AI WORKSTATION 300, an AI-optimized workstation opening new markets in AI development and engineering, aligns CORSAIR (Nasdaq: CRSR) with one of the fastest-growing segments of the computing market.

The CORSAIR AI WORKSTATION 300 is built on AMD’s latest Ryzen™ AI Max 300 Series platform, scaling up to the flagship Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395. Leveraging AMD’s XDNA™ 2 NPU architecture to deliver up to 50 TOPS of on-device AI acceleration, this new platform positions CORSAIR to capitalize on the rapid shift toward local, client-side AI compute. AMD’s “Strix Halo” architecture, combined with up to 128 GB of unified LPDDR5X memory (96 GB dynamically addressable as VRAM), enables advanced AI workflows to run at scale without reliance on discrete GPUs or cloud infrastructure.

Key Product Highlights:

  • Ultra-Compact AI Workstation: Enterprise‑class performance and scalability in a 4.4-liter form factor, targeting AI developers, engineers, and creative professionals.
  • AMD Ryzen™ AI Max Platform: Configurations up to Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 with XDNA 2 NPU architecture delivering up to 50 TOPS of on‑device AI acceleration.
  • High-Capacity Unified Memory: Up to 128 GB LPDDR5X unified memory (96 GB dynamically usable as VRAM) for GPU‑class workloads without discrete GPUs.
  • Local Large Model Inference: Capable of running Mistral Large 123B (BF16) and MCP servers locally, enabling long-context AI without reliance on cloud or discrete GPUs.
  • Optimized for AI/Creative Workflows: Ideal for local LLMs, creative workloads, and AI development, supporting private, fast, and scalable local inference.
  • Quiet, Efficient, Modular Design: Dual-fan cooling, Performance Level Selector for power vs. speed tuning, and portable form factor.
  • AI Software Suite: Integrated tools to streamline engineering and creative workflows.
  • Security and Reliability: Chip-to-cloud security architecture, 2-year warranty, designed to safeguard sensitive data.

Thi La, Chief Executive Officer of Corsair, said, “The launch of the CORSAIR AI WORKSTATION 300 marks an expansion into one of the fastest‑growing segments of the computing market. We are opening new opportunities and positioning CORSAIR to benefit from the shift toward client‑side AI.”
