GMKtec is bringing a high-end mini PC to IFA 2026 that targets gamers who want desktop-class power in a small form factor. The Evo X5 Pro packs enough hardware to compete with dedicated graphics cards, which matters because it offers a viable alternative to bulky gaming towers for users with limited desk space. We have been tracking Evo X5 Pro closely — see our earlier coverage on Framework Desktop Gets Ryzen AI Max+.
High-end mini PC with 16-core APU targets gamers needing desktop power
The system relies on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 APU, which features a 16-core configuration built entirely on Zen 5 architecture. This processor boosts up to 5.2 GHz and shares system memory with the integrated graphics unit. The design eliminates the need for a separate discrete GPU while still aiming for high performance.
Specifications
- CPU: AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 (16-core Zen 5 APU, 5.2 GHz boost)
- Memory: Up to 192 GB DDR5 RAM
- GPU: AMD Radeon 8065S iGPU (RDNA 3.5, 40 CUs, 3 GHz)
- Performance Estimate: GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop dGPU level
- Benchmark Leak: 18,000 points in Geekbench 6
Graphics performance comes from the AMD Radeon 8065S iGPU, which utilizes RDNA 3.5 architecture with 40 compute units running at 3 GHz. The device supports up to 192 GB of DDR5 RAM to handle heavy workloads. Leaked Geekbench 6 multi-core scores currently sit at approximately 18,000 points, indicating strong CPU capability.
GMKtec expects the integrated Radeon 8065S to perform at the same level as a GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop dGPU. The company notes that final performance may improve further with tweaks before the official launch. We will know the exact pricing when the device ships next month in Berlin.
The Evo X5 Pro launches at IFA 2026 in Berlin, with availability expected early next month. GMKtec has not yet revealed specific pricing details for the global release. Buyers will need to wait until the event to see how the final cost compares to existing mini PC options.
