Maxtang FX1400 Mini PC with Hygon Haiguang 14XX CPU, Digi Mart USA News (China): Maxtang, a brand known for mini PCs aimed at industrial and enterprise workloads, has introduced a new model in China called the FX1400. The system is built around the Haiguang 14XX (1400 Series) processor, a chip designed by Chinese semiconductor company Hygon for industrial control and edge-computing tasks.
Unlike mainstream x86 processors, the Haiguang 14XX uses Hygon’s proprietary C86 instruction set. The 15-watt chip has four cores clocked at up to 3 GHz and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory.
It is designed for 24×7 operation and can withstand temperatures from -40°C to 105°C, reflecting its focus on demanding industrial environments.
The processor also supports China-specific encryption algorithms SM2, SM3 and SM4, along with virtualization, secure startup, real-time operating systems, and industrial standards such as EtherCAT, Modbus, MQTT and OPC UA. The FX1400 itself has a basic, utilitarian design typical of industrial hardware, with six USB-A ports, dual Ethernet, a 3.5 mm audio jack, VGA and HDMI outputs, and a single M.2 2280 storage slot.
The unit measures about 20.8 x 19 x 4.5 cm, or roughly 8.1 x 7.4 x 1.7 inches, giving it a volume of around 1.778 liters. The source states that pricing and availability were unclear at the time of writing, and that the system is not expected to be launched outside China.
For general consumers seeking a capable mini PC, the source points to the GMKTec M6 Ultra, which it notes was priced at $689 on Amazon with 32 GB RAM and an AMD Ryzen 5 APU.
