Minisforum MS-A1 refresh released with curious AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor change

[Redaktion]

Minisforum has updated the MS-A1 with AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X desktop processor. While the Ryzen 9 9950X offers superior CPU performance compared to the existing Ryzen 7 8700G, its GPU performance will be found wanting.

The MS-01 has been a golden-egg for Miniforums, so I'm confused by their decision to rip out all of the desired features, just so they could pimp it was a desktop APU.

Im not sure how successful the MS-A1 has been to this point. I've gone to purchase an MS-A1 at least 3-4 time, and at each attempt new limitations become apparent.

They would have been better off making a version with the 7945HX or 7940HX, and re-adding the 10GbE NICs.
