Gmktec’s Evo-X3 is not pretending to be a cute little office box. Launched in China and set for a global release on July 6, the mini PC is built around AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and pairs it with 128GB of LPDDR5X memory, a dedicated AI push, and OCuLink for people who decide the integrated graphics are merely a suggestion.
The headline feature is obvious: this mini PC is aimed at local AI workloads, not just browser tabs and spreadsheets. Gmktec says the machine can allocate up to 96GB of system memory as VRAM, which is the kind of spec that makes conventional mini PCs look shy. It also ships with Claw AI software tuned for AMD’s ROCm stack, so users are supposed to spend less time wrestling with setup and more time actually running models.
Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and 126 TOPS of AI compute
Under the hood is a 4nm Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with 16 cores and 32 threads, AMD Radeon 8060S integrated graphics, and an XDNA2 NPU rated at 50 TOPS. Gmktec puts the total AI compute figure at up to 126 TOPS, which helps explain why the company keeps leaning on local model handling rather than gaming bravado.
That positioning also makes sense in a market where mini PCs are getting more ambitious by the month. Peladn’s recent HO5 launch, for example, shows the same drift toward OCuLink and external GPU support, but Gmktec is pushing harder on memory capacity and AI-specific software as its main differentiators.
Evo-X3 storage, cooling, and connectivity
The chassis is CNC-machined metal, and the cooling setup uses three copper heat pipes plus three active fans with silent, balanced, and performance profiles. That is the sort of thermal hardware you need if you plan to keep a compact machine busy with sustained inference instead of letting it loaf around all day.
- Dual PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots
- Up to 16TB storage capacity
- Native OCuLink for external desktop GPUs, including Nvidia RTX 40-series and 50-series
- USB4, Wi-Fi 7, and a 2.5G Ethernet port
- Dual 8K display output support
Evo-X3 price and July 6 release
Pricing is firmly in premium territory. The Evo-X3 costs 21,699 yuan ($3,205) with 128GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, while the 4TB version is listed at 25,699 yuan ($3,796). That is not impulse-buy money, but the target buyer here is clearly someone who wants workstation-class memory in a tiny enclosure and is willing to pay for the privilege.
Gmktec’s bigger challenge is not the spec sheet; it is proving that these local-AI mini PCs are more than niche showpieces. If the global launch lands as planned, the Evo-X3 will be one more sign that mini PCs are moving upmarket fast, with AI acceleration, expandable graphics, and desktop-scale memory becoming the new arms race.
