Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX with AI support

At the heart of this workstation is the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX processor, featuring 14 cores in a configuration of 6 Performance cores and 8 Efficient cores. The processor operates at a Turbo frequency of up to 5.1 GHz and features 24 MB of Intel Smart Cache, delivering exceptional performance in both single-threaded applications and intensive multitasking. The integrated Intel Graphics with a clock speed of up to 1.8 GHz and the Intel AI Boost engine, offering up to 13 TOPS of computing power, further enhance the device’s capabilities in modern AI-driven applications.

Storage and memory expansion

The MS-02 Ultra model features four DDR5 SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 256 GB of RAM at speeds of up to 4800 MT/s, allowing for smooth operation of multiple virtual machines, large databases, and professional software. Users also have access to two M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe slots, each supporting SSDs with a total capacity of up to 8 TB. Together, this enables the creation of an extremely fast storage environment with a total capacity of up to 16 TB, ideal for critical data and massive projects.

Professional connectivity and server-grade expandability

The device is equipped with dwoma high-performance network ports: an ultra-fast 10GbE RJ45 based on the Realtek RTL8127 controller and an additional 2.5GbE RJ45 port with the Intel I226-V controller. Wireless communication is handled by the Intel BE200 module, which supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. The computer also offers exceptional expandability thanks to PCIe 5.0 x16 slots with split-mode support, PCIe 4.0 x16 (electrically x4+x4+x4), and PCIe 4.0 x4, allowing you to connect professional expansion cards for specialized applications.

Modern ports and support for up to three 8K monitors

The front panel features two USB4 V2 Type-C ports with up to 80 Gbps bandwidth, DisplayPort 2.0 Alt Mode, and 15 W Power Delivery, along with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The rear panel offers another USB4 Type-C port (40 Gbps), HDMI 2.1 FRL, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, an OCuLink connector, and two LAN ports. This configuration allows you to connect state-of-the-art monitors, high-speed storage devices, and professional peripherals, supporting up to three displays with resolutions up to 8K.

Advanced cooling and a 350 W power supply

Stable operation under heavy workloads is ensured by an efficient cooling system utilizing a heat sink with six heat pipes and PCM phase-change material. Heat dissipation is handled by two fans (70 × 25 mm and 60 × 20 mm) reaching speeds of up to 5,000 RPM. The built-in 1U power supply with a maximum output of 350 W and support for 100–240 V AC guarantees sufficient power forWszystkich components and expansion cards.
