The DeskMini B860 is going to use a custom B860 chipset motherboard with an LGA 1851 socket that will host the latest Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors that are rated up to 65W. This means the system will feature processors like the non-K Core Ultra 200S processors that can deliver competitive performance while staying efficient and cooler. On the other hand, the DeskMini X600/XUSB4 will utilize the AM5 platform, featuring a custom AMD X600 chipset motherboard to support Ryzen 9000/8000/7000 processors.

Both look identical in appearance from the outside, as the components will be hosted inside a small 1.92L chassis that measures 155 x 155 x 80 mm in dimensions. Each of these DeskMini PC offers up to 47mm of cooler clearance for allowing installation of low-profile coolers, which save space and to further minimize the footprint, the mini PCs support SODIMM and CSO-DIMM DDR5 memories with up to 128 GB capacities in 2x DDR5-6400/2x DDR5-5600 configurations. For storage, users can add up to 2x SATA SSDs and 2x M.2 2280 SSDs, with motherboards featuring PCIe Gen 5.0 and Gen 4.0 interfaces.

The DeskMini B860 offers two DisplayPort 1.4 to support higher resolutions and high refresh rates but there is also a single HDMI 2.1 port with 4K@120Hz support and a single Thunderbolt 4 for high-bandwidth devices. The DeskMini X600/USB4, on the other hand, has similar connectivity except that it has only one DP 1.4 port, but for peripherals, both systems offer plenty of USB Type A, Type C ports at the rear and front, and have 2.5G LAN for wired connectivity, and an optional M.2 key E socket for adding WiFi module.
