Description
This is a 128 GB AMD Strix Halo local-AI desktop: Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (16 Zen 5 cores), Radeon 8060S (40 CU), 128 GB LPDDR5X unified memory. Full credit to AMD for the APU. It is the x86 / Windows-or-Linux answer to a 128 GB unified-memory box, without locking you to DGX OS.
What we actually ship: a current 128 GB Strix Halo system we can source (Framework Desktop class or equivalent Minisforum / similar 128 GB Max+ 395 box — the exact chassis is confirmed on the quote/order because DRAM-shortage stock moves). It is not the Micro Center-exclusive “AMD Ryzen AI Halo” US in-store SKU. Same silicon family, a box we can put on a Canadian invoice.
Canadian list price is $7,349 CAD before tax and shipping, including first-boot setup (Linux or Windows 11 as requested) and an Ollama / ROCm-capable inference path. Made to order. Lead time confirmed on the order. Non-refundable once we have placed the hardware order, except DOA or documented defect under the manufacturer warranty.
What we add: Canadian sourcing, Bitcoin checkout, and a model-fit note for this 128 GB pool. We did not train the models and we did not invent ROCm, llama.cpp, or Ollama.
Honest limits: CUDA is NVIDIA’s. Many vLLM / TensorRT jobs are faster on Spark or a discrete NVIDIA GPU. Strix Halo wins when you want x86, Windows, a quieter desk box, and 128 GB unified memory without Arm. Dense 70B at interactive speed is often the wrong expectation; MoE and quantized 30B-class work is the realistic job. See Spark vs Strix Halo vs a GPU tower.
Need CUDA and a 4 TB DGX OS appliance? NVIDIA DGX Spark — $9,449 CAD. Need a card you can swap? Custom GPU inference rig.
