Thunderrobot launches AI Master M7000 with SSD cache to run 120B AI models on 64GB of memory
Thunderrobot's AI Master M7000 pairs AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with 64GB of memory and an 85GB SSD cache layer from Phison, which the company says lets the 16-inch workstation run 120B mixture-of-experts models locally. It sells in China for 24,999 yuan.
The M7000 carries 64GB of LPDDR5X-8000 memory and Radeon 8060S integrated graphics. Its processor provides 16 cores and 32 threads with boost speeds reaching 5.1GHz, alongside an XDNA 2 neural processor that AMD rates at 50 TOPS. The Radeon 8060S configuration reaches as many as 40 compute units for graphics and accelerated workloads.
The machine's 768GB drive incorporates an 85GB caching layer. That layer comes from Phison's aiDAPTIV+ technology, which uses part of the internal storage to hold data associated with artificial intelligence workloads rather than acting as conventional RAM. When unified memory capacity becomes restrictive, selected information is kept on the SSD, including Key-Value cache, less-active mixture-of-experts components and model data that applications may need again during processing.
Thunderrobot says the device can run GPT-OSS-120B locally despite having 64GB of physical memory available for applications and operating-system requirements. Its unified memory architecture lets processor and graphics resources access shared memory, supporting workloads that move large amounts of model data. Phison has also demonstrated the storage approach on machines with considerably less memory, including a 32GB laptop running the same 120B model.
The M7000 runs a 160W operating profile supported by two fans and three heat pipes for sustained processing. Its 2560x1600 display refreshes at 165Hz with 500-nit brightness and complete sRGB coverage. Power comes from a 99Wh battery, and the chassis weighs 2.45kg despite the workstation-oriented hardware and cooling requirements. Connectivity includes OCuLink, USB-C supporting 40Gbps transfers, HDMI 2.1 FRL, 2.5Gb Ethernet and a UHS-II microSD reader.
At 24,999 yuan, the M7000 sits well beyond typical gaming budgets, even though Thunderrobot's product lineup has historically centered on gaming hardware. TechRadar describes the device as reading more like an artificial intelligence laptop, given how its marketing and branding lean toward AI use cases, and notes that the caching arrangement still falls short of matching genuine additional system memory in practice.
