MS-R1 is powered by the CIX CP8180, a brand-new Arm chip from a newcomer aiming to push Arm performance and expandability closer to x86 levels. With 12 cores / 12 threads at 2.6GHz, 20W TDP, and 45 TOPS compute including 28.8 TOPS NPU, it brings a different kind of challenge — and a new playground to explore what's next in Arm computing.
Forget clunky dev boards and messy setup guides. MS-R1 comes with the Arm-based CIX180 CPU and true UEFI BIOS support — just plug it in, power on, and dive straight into Linux, VMs, or containers.
Just write the ISO to a USB drive, install, and jump straight into Linux, VMs, or containers.
*For the best experience, please use the official ISO image until the driver is merged into the main branch.
With up to 64GB LPDDR5 5500MHz memory (With ECC Support), MS-R1 delivers the speed and versatility you need for virtualization and containers. Storage starts at 512GB NVMe and expands via a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 2280/22110 slot, up to 8TB, with bundled adapters for U.2 or extra NVMe flexibility.
*ECC enabled capacity reduced by 1/8.
Equipped with dual RTL8127 10 GbE ports and Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3 (RZ616), MS-R1 delivers seamless wired-and-wireless performance for high-speed data, routing, and network-intensive workloads.
A full-size PCIe x16 slot (physical x16, electrical x8) opens the door to true hardware freedom — drop in a GPU, scale with high-speed NICs, or expand storage with U.2 drives. For power users, MS-R1 is an Arm playground with real expansion muscle.
Powered by the CIX CP8180 processor with up to 45 TOPS of integrated AI performance, MS-R1 handles local inference and edge AI workloads with ease.
Through its PCIe x16 slot, it supports external GPU connection for model acceleration or GPU memory utilization—creating a flexible, expandable framework for AI experimentation.
Just 1.7L in size with only 28W TDP, MS-R1 runs under 35dB while delivering workstation-class performance.
Its advanced cooling system integrates triple copper heat pipes, a turbine fan, aerodynamic vortex channels, and phase-change thermal materials — precision-engineered for stable power in a compact chassis.
