Hardware, power, and software specifications for the four SurviveRx builds. Figures come from the units we ship. When a value changes by configuration, the page shows the range instead of a best case.

01 / The Lineup
Configure yours →Every tier runs installed offline library packages, the media server, files and video calls, and its own WiFi hotspot. Measured GPU, memory, and runtime evidence qualifies Standard and up for their locked on-box AI profiles; missing evidence disables local AI. Library has no local-AI promise.
AMD Ryzen 5
Installed libraries, no AI premium.
AMD Ryzen 7
The complete SurviveRx.
AMD Ryzen 9
Built to run hard, longer.
AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395
A different class of offline AI.
02 / The Comparison
Hardware figures come from published specifications for the listed configurations. Bandwidth values marked theoretical are calculated from published memory speed and bus width. Final release qualification remains configuration-specific.

Standard and Pro share the same GPU and the same ~90 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Pro buys sustained-load cooling and 64GB/2TB headroom, not speed. Elite is the only class jump: about 3x the bandwidth, twice the cores, and the 32B model.
03 / How to Read It
N-01 / Standard vs Pro
Both run 8 Zen 4 cores and the same Radeon 780M graphics on the same ~90 GB/s memory path, so they occupy the same raw compute class. Pro adds sustained-load cooling, 64GB of memory, 2TB of storage, and the larger 14B model. Buy Pro for endurance, capacity, and model headroom, not a faster GPU.
N-02 / The one real jump
The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 pairs 16 cores with LPDDR5X-8000 on a 256-bit bus: ~256 GB/s of theoretical memory bandwidth, about three times Standard and Pro. Local generation repeatedly moves model weights through memory, so bandwidth shapes which model class can run well. That is what makes the qualified 32B model practical on Elite.
N-03 / The AI ladder
Measured GPU, memory, and runtime evidence qualifies Standard, Pro, and Elite for their locked Qwen profiles; missing evidence disables local AI. Generation stays on the appliance with no cloud model account. The assistant can retrieve and display local source context for direct matches, but it may also use general model knowledge. Answers can be wrong, and retrieval or citations do not prove a claim. Library has no local-AI promise and keeps the installed library, media server, and Nextcloud services.
04 / Power
Source: published manufacturer specifications for the listed configurations. Adapter rating is not typical wall draw.
Use the included adapter with an AC outlet or power station rated for that tier’s adapter wattage. For short outages, size a desktop UPS for the same rating. Runtime depends on the battery capacity and the work the box is doing.
No idle-wattage charts, operating-temperature ranges, or noise figures appear on this page, because we have not validated them on the final production units. When we do, the numbers will be measured on our own benches, not copied from a marketing sheet.
