Lenovo’s AI Host Mini combines the Cixin P1 CD8180 processor, a 45 TOPS NPU, and Ubuntu software inside a chassis measuring just 0.48 liters. Rather than relying on hardware from Intel, AMD, or Qualcomm, the desktop is built around a China-developed ARM platform paired with Lenovo’s own software ecosystem.
The compact machine measures 100 × 100 × 48.65 mm and weighs approximately 373 grams. Its dimensions place it among the smallest desktop computers currently offered by Lenovo.
The Cixin P1 CD8180 is manufactured on a 6nm process and features 12 CPU cores alongside a 10-core Arm Immortalis-G720 graphics processor. Lenovo rates the integrated NPU at up to 45 TOPS.
