The MINISFORUM MS-03 is a high-performance AI Mini Workstation designed for professionals who need powerful computing, advanced networking and extensive storage and expansion options in a compact form factor.

Powered by the Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 386H, the MS-03 combines strong multi-core CPU performance, integrated Intel® Graphics and dedicated AI acceleration through its built-in NPU.

This MegaTech Store configuration comes equipped with 32GB DDR5 RAM and a fast 1TB NVMe SSD, making it ready for professional workloads, virtualisation, software development, networking, local AI applications and demanding business environments.

Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 386H

At the heart of the MS-03 is the Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 386H, featuring:

  • 16 cores / 16 threads
  • Up to 4.9GHz
  • Integrated Intel® Graphics
  • Dedicated Intel® NPU
  • Up to 50 TOPS NPU performance
  • Intel® vPro® support

The combination of CPU, GPU and NPU processing allows the MS-03 to efficiently handle conventional workloads alongside modern AI-assisted applications.

Built for Local AI

The MS-03 includes dedicated hardware acceleration for compatible AI workloads, making it suitable for:

  • Local AI applications
  • AI-assisted productivity
  • Development and testing
  • Local LLM workloads
  • Document processing and summarisation
  • Data analysis
  • Edge computing
  • Private AI deployments

Processing supported workloads locally can help reduce dependence on cloud services while offering greater control over data and latency.

 

This configuration comes with:

32GB DDR5 RAM

The MS-03 features 2 × DDR5 SO-DIMM slots and supports significantly larger memory configurations if your workload grows in the future.

Its upgradeable memory design makes the MS-03 particularly suitable for virtual machines, development environments, databases and memory-intensive professional applications.

1TB NVMe SSD

A fast 1TB NVMe SSD comes installed, providing responsive boot times, fast application loading and high-speed access to files and datasets.

The MS-03 provides extensive storage expansion with three M.2 NVMe SSD slots, including PCIe 5.0 connectivity.

Storage Expansion

  • 1 × M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 x4
  • 1 × M.2 2280/22110 PCIe 5.0 x4
  • 1 × M.2 2280/22110 PCIe 4.0

This provides excellent flexibility for additional SSDs, virtual machines, AI models, media libraries and large datasets.

U.2 Enterprise SSD Support

The MS-03 also supports compatible U.2 NVMe SSDs using an M.2-to-U.2 adapter, providing additional options for high-capacity enterprise storage.

This makes it particularly attractive for users building compact servers, storage-intensive workstations and professional lab environments.

Exceptional High-Speed Networking

Networking is one of the standout features of the MS-03.

It includes:

  • 2 × 10G SFP+
  • 1 × 10GbE RJ45
  • 1 × 2.5GbE RJ45

With multiple high-speed network interfaces, the MS-03 is an excellent platform for:

  • NAS and server connectivity
  • 10GbE networks
  • Virtualisation
  • Firewall and routing applications
  • Homelabs
  • Edge computing
