Product Features
Technical Overview
At the heart of the Z2 Mini G9 is Intel's Core i3-12100 processor, featuring four cores and eight threads with a base clock speed of 3.30 GHz. This 12th Generation CPU utilizes the Socket LGA-1700 interface and is paired with Intel's W680 chipset, providing a stable platform for workstation applications.
The memory subsystem employs DDR5 SDRAM technology running at 4.80 GHz, offering improved bandwidth over previous generations. With one 16 GB module installed in the system's two available memory slots, users can expand up to 64 GB total for more demanding workloads. Storage is handled by a 512 GB PCI Express NVMe 4.0 x4 solid-state drive with NVMe controller technology, supporting RAID 0 and 1 configurations for data protection or performance enhancement.
