Zotac Launches Compact Magnus One Ultra PC Powered by Desktop Nvidia RTX 5080
The 11.46-liter system pairs Intel's Core Ultra 7 265 with a full-fat desktop GPU, starting at roughly $2,647 for a barebones configuration.
Zotac has launched the Magnus One Ultra EU275080C, a small-form-factor desktop system that fits a desktop-class Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card and an Intel Core Ultra 7 265 processor into an 11.46-liter enclosure. As reported by TechRadar Pro (https://www.techradar.com/pro/worlds-smallest-pc-with-a-16gb-gddr7-desktop-rtx-5080-gpu-goes-on-sale-for-usd2-647-but-you-will-have-to-buy-your-own-ssd-ram-and-os-zotac-magnus-one-ultra-has-an-850w-psu-and-can-drive-6-4k-monitors), direct sales in Japan start at ¥418,000 (approximately $2,647) for an entry-level barebones unit.
Unlike compact systems built around mobile chipsets or integrated graphics, the Magnus One Ultra houses a full-sized desktop GPU based on Nvidia's Blackwell architecture. The graphics card features 16GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 960GB/s of bandwidth, alongside 10,752 CUDA cores, 336 Tensor cores, and 84 RT cores. Nvidia rates the chip at 1,801 AI TOPS, with support for DLSS 4.5 Multi-Frame Generation and ray tracing under a 360-watt power draw.
Compute is handled by Intel's 20-core Core Ultra 7 265 processor, operating at a 2.4GHz base clock with boost speeds up to 5.3GHz. Zotac accommodates the hardware inside a 126 x 365.5 x 249 mm chassis weighing 6.34 kilograms, powered by an internal 850-watt power supply.
The baseline ¥418,000 package ships without system memory, solid-state storage, or an operating system. Users must supply their own components across two memory slots—supporting up to 96GB of DDR5 memory at DDR5-6400 CSODIMM or DDR5-5600 SODIMM—and two M.2 storage slots wired for PCIe 5.0 x4 and PCIe 4.0 x4 interfaces.
Zotac is also retailing preconfigured Windows 11 Pro models in Japan. Configurations range from ¥522,500 (~$3,309) for a 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD build to ¥750,200 (~$4,750) for a 96GB RAM configuration. Intermediate builds include 32GB RAM models starting at ¥561,000 (~$3,552) and a 64GB RAM version priced at ¥654,500 (~$4,144).
The system provides extensive input and output options, featuring 5Gbps and 1Gbps Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Thunderbolt 4, eight USB connections, and a UHS-II SD card reader. Display connectivity includes three DisplayPort 2.1b ports, one HDMI 2.1b port, one HDMI 2.0 port, and a DisplayPort-ready Thunderbolt 4 connection, enabling the machine to drive up to six independent monitors or four concurrent 4K displays directly from the dedicated graphics card.
