On March 12, 2026, Intel held the grand Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 Launch Event in Shanghai, China. As a key ecosystem partner of Intel, MINISFORUM was invited to participate and showcased key products, including two upcoming models — MS-03 and M2 Pro, highlighting the company’s continued collaboration with Intel in advancing high-performance and AI-ready computing platforms.

M2 Pro: AI Mini PC with Panther Lake That Can Run OpenClaw Cost-efficiently

Also showcased at the event was the M2 Pro, a next-generation mini PC powered by Intel’s latest Panther Lake processors, with configurations up to Intel Core™ Ultra X9 388H.

The M2 Pro is designed for modern AI workloads and we recommend OpenClaw running in Hybrid AI execution mode, enabling the system to combine local AI computing with cloud AI simultaneously. This hybrid architecture allows users to benefit from:

• Enhanced privacy, with sensitive data processed locally
• Cost efficiency, by leveraging cloud resources only when necessary
• Flexible AI performance, balancing local and cloud capabilities

This makes the M2 Pro an ideal platform for developers, creators, and professionals who require both AI performance and data privacy.

MS-03: Next-Generation AI Workstation

The MS-03 is MINISFORUM’s upcoming AI workstation, designed as the successor to the highly popular MS-01, which has gained strong traction among developers, creators, and enterprise users. Building on the success of the MS-01, the new MS-03 is ideal for use as a home server, small business server, or software router and introduces major upgrades such as:

• Next-Generation CPU – Powered by the latest Intel Panther Lake processors, delivering improved AI performance and efficiency for demanding workloads.

The upgrade make the MS-03 a powerful platform for AI development, edge computing, virtualization, and high-performance professional workloads.
