GMKtec has launched the Evo-X5 Pro, its latest agentic AI mini-PC, featuring AMD's flagship Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 processor and 192GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory.
Key facts
- Buying two, three, or five units nets consumers $10, $20, and $40 in discounts, respectively

- Consumers can get the 4TB and 2TB versions for as low as $6,699 and $6,399, respectively
- Armed with 16 Zen 5 cores and 32 threads, the Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 stands out as a powerhouse in the mobile segment
