May 28, 2026 – As edge AI adoption accelerates across the commercial market, GIGABYTE Technology, a global leader in high-performance computing, today announced the new GB-BRU9-386H for its BRIX Mainstream ultra-compact mini PC series—expanding its enterprise on-premises AI portfolio. Powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors and manufactured on the Intel 18A process node technology, the new system delivers up to 75% higher NPU performance than the previous generation, reaching up to 50 TOPS to accelerate AI inference and improve overall computing efficiency.

⁠

Staying true to BRIX’s compact design, the latest BRIX Mainstream packs a 0.46-liter chassis with an ultra-slim 35 mm profile for easy deployment in space-constrained environments. Built for real-world business needs—from retail and industrial automation to surveillance and medical imaging—it delivers high performance, low latency, and privacy-preserving on-site computing at edge, helping organizations turn AI use cases into operational outcomes faster.

⁠

As the flagship model of the BRIX Mainstream lineup, the GB-BRU9-386H is built on the Intel Core Ultra 9 386H processor, integrating CPU, GPU, and NPU to efficiently handle AI and compute-intensive workloads. With built-in Intel Graphics, the platform delivers up to 40 TOPS of GPU compute and up to 50 TOPS of NPU performance, enabling faster AI inference, machine vision, and real-time data processing for edge AI and intelligent robotics applications. For memory and storage, the GB-BRU9-386H supports up to 128GB DDR5-6400 and offers two M.2 NVMe SSD slots, ensuring high-speed access, smooth multitasking, and scalable expansion.

⁠

Designed for real-world integration, the BRIX GB-BRU9-386H also features rich I/O to connect seamlessly with diverse devices and systems—extending its value across smart healthcare, smart surveillance, smart factories, and smart retail. In healthcare, it supports on-premises AI inference and high-resolution image processing for applications such as bone marrow smear analysis and colonoscopy image analysis, delivering low latency and strong privacy while integrating with a hospital’s existing IT infrastructure. In surveillance, dual HDMI 2.1 and dual USB4 enable up to four 4K display outputs for multi-screen monitoring, intrusion detection, and decision-making. In smart factories and robotics, the platform supports machine vision, warehouse logistics, and deep learning—ideal for AMRs, robotic arms, and edge gateways. In retail, it is a strong fit for digital signage and self-checkout systems. For connectivity, 2.5GbE LAN and Intel Wi-Fi 7 support multi-device integration and high-speed, real-time data transfer, enhancing deployment efficiency across intelligent environments.

⁠

At COMPUTEX 2026, the BRIX GB-BRU9-386H will be presented at the GIGABYTE booth (K0802), showcasing a smart healthcare use case in collaboration with aetherAI. Visitors are welcome to see how next-generation edge AI mini PCs enable practical, privacy-preserving deployments across diverse industries.
