GMKtec has launched the EVO-X5 Pro, a mini workstation built around AMD's flagship Ryzen AI MAX+ PRO 495 'Gorgon Halo' chip, offering up to 192GB of unified memory and 24TB of storage for running large local AI models. Pricing hasn't been announced, but the machine is slated to launch in October.
GMKtec has officially launched the EVO-X5 Pro, its new flagship mini workstation built around AMD's Ryzen AI MAX+ PRO 495 'Gorgon Halo' chip. According to Wccftech, the SoC combines 16 Zen 5 cores and 32 threads clocked up to 5.2 GHz with a Radeon 8065S integrated GPU running at up to 3000 MHz across 40 compute units, plus an XDNA 2 NPU rated at up to 55 TOPS — for a combined 131 TOPS of AI compute across the whole package.
The standout feature is memory: the EVO-X5 Pro can be configured with up to 192GB of unified memory running at 8533 MT/s, with as much as 160GB dedicated to the GPU. That allows the machine to run local AI models in the 300B+ parameter range, something GMKtec is positioning directly against NVIDIA's DGX Spark. Storage tops out at 24TB across a triple M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 array, each slot supporting up to 8TB drives.
The EVO-X5 Pro builds on GMKtec's earlier EVO-X2 and EVO-X3 mini PCs, moving up to AMD's newest Gorgon Halo silicon while retaining a CNC all-metal chassis. Connectivity is workstation-grade, with dual front USB4 ports, dual rear USB4 V2 ports supporting eGPU use, 8K video output, dual 10GbE LAN ports, and an HDMI output. Cooling comes from a new vapor chamber heat spreader paired with a triple-fan setup and smart thermal control. GMKtec also bundles its own Claw AI agent software, AMD Dash Remote Management support, and a dedicated dTPM 2.0 security chip.
Per Wccftech, GMKtec has not yet announced pricing, but the EVO-X5 Pro is expected to launch next month in October.
