The PC includes integrated Radeon 8060S graphics with 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units. Minisforum reports that the device reaches 223 frames per second in Counter Strike 2 and 122 frames per second in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p resolution. The company did not provide the graphics settings or testing conditions for these figures.

The T5 Max-388 features 48GB of LPDDR5 RAM paired with a 1TB solid-state drive. It includes two M.2 2280 slots that accommodate a maximum of 8TB of storage. Connectivity options include USB Type-A and Type-C ports, along with HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. Minisforum says it supports up to four displays.

The system offers a combined AI performance of 118 TOPS. However, the memory speed is 6400 MT/s. This is a 20% reduction compared to the 8000 MT/s found in many other Strix Halo systems. Since the integrated graphics processor uses the system's RAM, the slower memory rate might limit the data throughput available for visual tasks.

The T5 Max-388 is available for preorder. Shipping begins in early December 2026.
