«Graviton» Brings a New Mini PC to Market
Russian company Graviton has unveiled a compact PC with an RTX 4060 on board, designed specifically for demanding corporate workloads.
Russia-based computing hardware developer Graviton Group LLC has unveiled the new D14I mini PC, built around its own Ukhta-3 motherboard and proprietary firmware. Series production of the D14I is planned to begin in 2027. The model has already been added to the Unified Register of Russian Radio-Electronic Products.
High-Performance Architecture
The device supports modern Intel Core Ultra 200S processors on the H810 chipset, up to 96GB of DDR5 RAM and ultra-fast PCIe 5.0 storage. Its main feature is the powerful Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card, which allows the compact PC to handle not only routine office work but also professional video editing, 3D graphics and demanding design tasks. The computer can drive three displays simultaneously and provides network speeds of up to 2,500 Mbps, making it a full-fledged compact workstation. The new model marks Graviton's shift from simply assembling off-the-shelf components to designing its own platform, reflecting a broader direction in the industry.
Business Goes Mini
Compact PCs have firmly established a place in the corporate market. Global trends point to sustained demand for these systems: Xiaomi entered the segment aggressively with x86 systems in 2022, while in 2023 Intel handed development of its NUC line to Asus. By 2025, mini computers had become a standard business option. Russia is showing similar trends. According to M.Video, the average desktop PC in Russia cost about 49,000 rubles (about $580) in 2025, with 95% of sales going to non-gaming machines for work, study and basic home use. High-performance configurations account for just 5% of units sold, but they generate a disproportionately large share of revenue.
Finding the Balance
The Russian mini PC market is developing around a pragmatic approach to import substitution. In 2021, Graviton released the D10B, based on the Baikal-M processor, with localization extending even to the CPU and support for Russian operating systems. In 2022, iRU introduced the liter-class Office A310H4TF mini PC with an Intel Core processor, signaling a shift toward standard x86 workstations. In 2023, ATB's ATB-atom-1 mini computer confirmed compatibility with the Alt operating system, while in 2024, Production Company Rikor released the Rikor MSK and RikorPro series with fully Russian-made cases while retaining imported processors. This path illustrates the search for a balance between technological sovereignty and the real-world performance businesses need.
Hardware-Level Security
In the new environment, tighter oversight of critical architectural components is becoming a priority. Graviton's engineers integrated the company's own Ukhta-3 board into the D14I along with the basic input/output system developed by Revotekh Information Technology Research and Development Center LLC. This hybrid approach provides low-level security while preserving high computing performance. Compliance with these requirements is confirmed by the D14I's inclusion in the Unified Register of Russian Radio-Electronic Products, which makes the model eligible for procurement by government agencies and large corporations.
The company still has substantial room to deepen localization. Its product line based on the Intel H610 chipset already includes Russian-designed boards: Inga, Ukhta, Ukhta-2 and Kama-2. The Ukhta-3 extends this line to the more modern Intel H810 chipset, allowing the share of Russian components to increase gradually without sacrificing compatibility with high-performance imported silicon and while maintaining full control over the platform.
The Corporate Market Race
Russia's compact corporate PC market already includes products from Yadro JSC, Production Company Rikor JSC, OSIO LLC, iRU LLC and other manufacturers. In 2025, OSIO put the 400-gram BaseLine B51i on sale at retail, while Yadro began mass production of the Kvadra TAU mini with its own BIOS at a plant in Dubna.
To establish a foothold in the segment, Graviton will need to tackle the usual challenges: offer a competitive price, guarantee seamless compatibility with Russian operating systems and application software, and establish reliable supplies of large equipment batches.
Overall, Graviton's D14I mini PC shows that successful import substitution today is being built around the smart integration of advanced global technologies with in-house hardware and software security technologies.
