The Chinese ODM Shanghai Sixunited Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. has revealed its upcoming STHT1 motherboard, designed to cater to both OEMs and DIY builders who are enthusiasts of AMD's technology. The STHT1 motherboard is set to leverage AMD's Ryzen AI Max 300-series (codenamed Strix Halo) processors, offering a range of features that make it an attractive choice for those seeking compact, high-performance systems.
Key details about the STHT1 include its Mini-ITX form factor (170 mm x 170 mm), support for AMD's Ryzen AI Max 300-series Strix Halo APUs with TDPs ranging from 45W to 120W, and soldered LPDDR5X memory supporting up to 128 GB. The motherboard also includes slots for two M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs and an additional M.2 slot for Wi-Fi modules.
In terms of connectivity, the STHT1 offers dual USB configurations, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort/VGA/COM ports, 3.5mm audio, and Gigabit Ethernet. Powered via a 19V DC input, the motherboard is aimed at the mini-PC and laptop markets, but it also opens up options for PC enthusiasts to build compact high-performance systems.
One of the standout features of the STHT1 is its memory configuration. The motherboard is equipped with eight memory chips, each 16GB, soldered to the motherboard and surrounds the Strix Halo processor. Sixunited pairs the Strix Halo chip with 128GB of LPDDR5X memory, providing ample memory for demanding applications and multitasking.
However, despite the excitement surrounding the STHT1, some details remain unclear. Sixunited hasn't revealed the pricing for the STHT1 motherboard, and it appears mainly targeted towards OEM integrations rather than direct consumer sales. Furthermore, while the STHT1 was unveiled in mid-2025, its official release date and price remain undisclosed.
Additionally, it seems that the STHT1 motherboard may have mounting holes for CPU coolers compatible with Intel's LGA 1xxx socket, although this is yet to be confirmed. Sixunited has also mentioned the possibility of converting the VGA port on the STHT1 motherboard to a DisplayPort output or COM port, providing further flexibility for users.
In conclusion, the STHT1 motherboard presents an intriguing option for AMD enthusiasts seeking a compact, high-performance solution. While some details, such as pricing and availability, are still unknown, the STHT1's features and compatibility with AMD's Ryzen AI Max 300-series processors make it an exciting prospect for those in the market for a new build.
