MINISFORUM Showcases Upcoming AI PC Models Compatible with OpenClaw at Intel Core Ultra Series 3 Launch Event in Shanghai
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.
Strengthening the Intel Ecosystem Partnership
MINISFORUM’s presence at Intel’s launch event highlights the close cooperation between the two companies in advancing AI-ready computing platforms and next-generation AI Workstations, and Mini PCs.
MINISFORUM will continue working closely with Intel to bring more innovative products to the market, delivering powerful, compact, and intelligent AI computing solutions for professionals, developers, and enthusiasts worldwide.

Incredibly surprised to see the choice of the 356H in the MS-03 rather than the 366H.
The 356H lacks vPRO, AMT was a huge selling point of the MS-01.
Additionally, I would absolutely love to see a 1U rack mountable model. Perhaps with 10" wings for home mini-racks and a full 19" tray with room for the PSU?
Biggest concern with current models is airflow with the top vent, would need front>back, front>side or side>side cooling.
