GMKtec Showcases Mini PC AI Workstations with Intel and AMD Platforms

GMKtec showcased its latest AI-focused mini PC workstations based on Intel and AMD platforms at an AliExpress event in Shenzhen. The current lineup builds on the EVO-T2 series introduced in mid-March during Intel’s Core Ultra (Panther Lake) launch event in Shanghai. The EVO-T2S is based on the Core Ultra X7 358H, featuring a 16-core design and up to 180 TOPS of AI compute. The system pairs LPDDR5X-8533 memory with Phison aiDAPTIV+ PCIe 5.0 SSDs and uses a vapor-chamber cooling solution for up to 60 W. It is positioned for local AI inference workloads, including large language models, alongside general high-end desktop use. The AMD-based EVO-X2 series is pretty well known as it was launched a year ago using the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor with 16 cores, 32 threads, and an XDNA 2 NPU rated at up to 126 TOPS. It supports up to 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory, includes 10 GbE networking, and is designed to handle both AI workloads and GPU-accelerated applications, with multi-display support for up to four 4K outputs.

What’s more interesting is how pricing has changed for those Mini PCs since the initial announcements. The EVO-X2 originally launched last year with the top-end 128 GB model starting at $1,999, is now listing the 64 GB + 1 TB configuration at $1,999, while the 128 GB + 2 TB variant now reaches $3,299. On the Intel side, the EVO-T2S with Core Ultra X7 358H, 64 GB RAM, and 1 TB storage is currently listed at $1,899, discounted from an earlier $2,399 price point. Worth mentioning that GMKtec isn’t yet listing other memory options, other than the 64 GB for its EVO-T2S, neither availability nor pricing for the Core Ultra X9 388H model.
