GMKtec EVO-X5 Pro Mini PC Launches at $6,399 With AMD Gorgon Halo and 192GB Memory

The $6,399 starting price applies to the first 30 units of the model with 192GB of memory and 2TB of storage. After those first 30 units, subsequent early buyers will pay $6,599, while the regular price after the promotional period is $6,799. A second model, with 192GB of memory and 4TB of storage, is priced at $6,699 during the Super Early Bird promotion, $6,899 during the Early Bird period, and $7,099 at its regular price.

GMKtec's pricing puts the EVO-X5 Pro below other Gorgon Halo devices, which start well in excess of $7,000, according to TechRadar. At the same time, the $6,399 entry price is high for the mini PC category, where most devices sell for less than $4,000, leaving the EVO-X5 Pro among the most expensive mini PCs available.

The Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor provides 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, 32 threads and boost speeds reaching 5.2GHz for demanding desktop workloads. For graphics processing, the device uses Radeon 8065S hardware with 40 compute units, RDNA 3.5 architecture and hardware ray tracing. Its XDNA 2 NPU can deliver up to 55 TOPS for supported artificial intelligence workloads.

Memory bandwidth reaches 273GB/s, and the system can dynamically allocate as much as 160GB of its unified memory for graphics processing. Storage capacity can be expanded up to 24TB, giving the compact desktop room for local datasets, applications and large artificial intelligence models. Connectivity includes two USB4 V2 ports supporting up to 80Gbps, two USB4 ports reaching 40Gbps and two 10GbE LAN connections.

Offline AI capability is central to the EVO-X5 Pro. GMKtec originally developed the machine around support for 300-billion-parameter models before later tuning increased its stated capability to 320 billion parameters. The company cautions that actual compatibility and performance depend on the selected model, software, quantization method, workload and complete system configuration.

The system is paired with features intended for private AI deployment, including local language models, coding assistants, research workloads and enterprise applications. It supports eGPUs and multi-system clustering, allowing users to expand computing resources when individual workloads exceed its internal hardware. For business environments, it includes AMD DASH, a dedicated dTPM 2.0 security chip and operating-system-independent out-of-band management.

GMKtec says the system has been validated for continuous 24/7 operation, although that claim does not establish performance levels across every workload. Cooling uses a vapor chamber with three fans inside an all-metal CNC-machined enclosure, and the system offers three performance modes for different operating requirements. Beyond AI work, the device supports displays reaching 8K resolution, extending its intended use toward demanding professional desktop workloads. TechRadar said it already has a unit of the mini PC on its desk and that a detailed review is coming.
