The device is positioned as a living-room gaming PC, booting into a SteamOS-like view via Bazzite.", "body_md": "It seems as though mini PCs have never been more popular, with brands like Minisforum and Geekom releasing new models at an almost alarming rate. A new video by ETA Prime on YouTube, however, has shown off something different: an unbranded, mystery mini PC that only goes by the Piston V and dual-boots Bazzite and Windows right out of the box. Given that it runs Bazzite, it can boot right into a SteamOS-like view, revealing its intentions as a HTPC or living-room gaming PC.\n\nThe Piston V features a 10-core, 20-thread [AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 CPU](https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/ryzen-ai-9-365.c3656) with an [AMD Radeon 880M iGPU](https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-880m.c4225) (not the claimed 890M), 32 GB of DDR5-5600 memory, and a 1 TB M.2 SSD. While solid, the internals are the least interesting part of the new mini PC—in keeping with its apparent living-room gaming PC vibe, the Piston V also packs a circular built-in display on the front, which can be used to display static images, system stats, media UIs, and basically anything else you may need immediate access to while you're gaming or using your PC. On Linux, the mini PC already has a built-in performance monitor, which is a nice level of polish for what appears to be a niche mini PC maker.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ryzen-ai-9-powered-piston-v-mystery-mini-pc-dual-boots-bazzite-and-windows", "canonical_source": "https://www.techpowerup.com/351535/ryzen-ai-9-powered-piston-v-mystery-mini-pc-dual-boots-bazzite-and-windows", "published_at": "2026-08-12 04:48:12+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-12 05:13:24.424648+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "artificial-intelligence"], "entities": ["ETA Prime", "AMD", "Ryzen AI 9 365", "Radeon 880M", "Piston V", "Bazzite", "Windows"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ryzen-ai-9-powered-piston-v-mystery-mini-pc-dual-boots-bazzite-and-windows", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ryzen-ai-9-powered-piston-v-mystery-mini-pc-dual-boots-bazzite-and-windows.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ryzen-ai-9-powered-piston-v-mystery-mini-pc-dual-boots-bazzite-and-windows.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ryzen-ai-9-powered-piston-v-mystery-mini-pc-dual-boots-bazzite-and-windows.jsonld"}}
