The post Gmktec launches Evo-X3 Mini PC with Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 128GB LPDDR5X RAM & OCuLink appeared first on Gizmochina.

Gmktec is preparing to release the Evo-X3, a new compact mini PC aimed heavily at local AI workloads and creative professionals. Slated for a global launch on June 29, the Evo-X3 shares much of its underlying hardware with the recently released Evo-X2 but introduces a few key hardware and software additions designed for users who need more scalability.

What to expect?

Inside the PS4-sized chassis, the Evo-X3 is powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU. This chip features 16 cores and 32 threads built on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture, alongside integrated Radeon 8060S graphics based on RDNA 3.5. GMKtec is offering the system with up to 128GB of 8000MHz LPDDR5X memory and up to 4TB of storage via dual PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots.

The main hardware change from the previous model is the OCuLink (PCIe Gen4 x4) connection. The integrated Radeon graphics are fine for standard use, but the OCuLink port allows you to connect an external RTX 40 or 50-series GPU. This gives the PC a straightforward upgrade path if you need to handle heavier 3D rendering or compute tasks later on.

On the software side, GMKtec is bundling the Evo-X3 with its Claw+Wrangler AI ecosystem. The company is leaning hard into the concept of the local AI workstation, positioning the 128GB RAM configuration as a way to run massive language models, like the 235 billion parameter Qwen3, entirely offline.

To handle the thermal load of the 140W APU, the Evo-X3 uses a triple heat-pipe cooling system with dual fans, which the company claims can maintain performance without excessive noise. Connectivity includes WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and a 2.5GbE LAN port.

Design-wise, the X3 opts for a graphite gray chassis with clean surfaces and side-integrated ventilation. It is noticeably slimmer and appears optimized strictly for vertical placement to minimize its desk footprint, resembling a compact enterprise node rather than a gaming rig.

Early access registration for the Evo-X3 opens on June 22nd, which includes a minor $20 discount, ahead of the full launch on June 29th. Gmktec hasn’t announced the exact pricing for the X3 yet. However, given that the similarly equipped Evo-X2 currently sells for around $2,000, the X3 is expected to land in a similar premium price bracket.

In related news, Peladn has recently unveiled the HO5 Mini PC featuring AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 processor and an OCuLink port, while Minisforum has introduced its Panther Lake-powered M2 Pro and MS-03 mini PCs with up to 180 TOPS of AI performance.

Across the CPU, GPU, and NPU, the system offers up to 86 TOPS of total compute performance.

For graphics, the HO5 relies on AMD’s integrated Radeon 890M. While modern integrated graphics are capable of running popular esports titles and older AAA games at reasonable settings, Peladn has also included a PCIe Gen3 OCuLink 4i port on the side of the chassis. This interface allows users to connect an external GPU dock with significantly less bandwidth bottlenecking than a standard USB4 connection, providing an upgrade path for users who need a dedicated workstation or a higher-end gaming setup.

Inside the 130 x 130 x 55 mm chassis, Peladn is using a vapor chamber paired with a turbo fan to manage thermals. The system ships with 32GB of onboard LPDDR5X-6400 memory. While the RAM is soldered and cannot be upgraded, storage is more flexible. The board features two M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots, one of which is populated by the pre-installed 1TB NVMe drive.

Talking about the connectivity, the front panel includes a 40Gbps USB-C port, two 10Gbps USB-A ports, and a 3.5mm combo audio jack. The rear panel houses two 480Mbps USB-A ports, dual 2.5GbE RJ45 Ethernet jacks for wired networking, an HDMI 2.1 FRL port, and a DisplayPort 1.2 output.

NVIDIA’s new RTX Spark platform was one of the biggest highlights at Computex Taipei 2026, with major PC brands including ASUS, Dell, Lenovo, and MSI unveiling compact desktop systems powered by the new AI-focused architecture. The launch marks NVIDIA’s first major step into the PC processor market and could reshape the future of AI PCs, creator workstations, and compact desktops.

NVIDIA RTX Spark Platform Takes Center Stage

The RTX Spark platform is an Arm-based system-on-chip (SoC) built around NVIDIA’s Grace and Blackwell technologies. It combines a 20-core CPU with a Blackwell GPU featuring 48 SM units and 6,144 CUDA cores. The platform also supports up to 128GB of LPDDR5X unified memory.

NVIDIA says the chip is designed for local AI development, content creation, gaming, and AI inference workloads. The company also claims graphics performance comparable to an RTX 5070-class GPU in certain scenarios.

ASUS, Dell, Lenovo, and MSI Showcase New Mini PCs

Several manufacturers introduced RTX Spark-powered mini PCs during the event. While each system features a unique chassis design, they share the same core platform and connectivity options.

ASUS ProArt GA10

The ASUS ProArt GA10 features a compact 150 × 150 × 51 mm design and supports up to 140W of cooling capacity. It includes four USB-C ports, HDMI output, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

The post NVIDIA RTX Spark Mini PCs Arrive at Computex 2026 — Could They Replace Traditional Desktops? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Minisforum has announced two new mini PCs, the M2 Pro and the MS-03, both built around Intel’s new Panther Lake architecture. Instead of just bumping up the processor speeds, the company has focused on practical hardware updates, including built-in power supplies and faster networking options, making these small computers a more viable alternative to standard desktop towers.

Minisforum M2 Pro Specifications

The M2 Pro is the more mainstream option of the two. It features a metal chassis and, notably, an internal power supply, which means you won’t have to hide an external power adapter under your desk. Inside, it uses Intel’s Panther Lake-H processor with integrated Xe3 graphics. Minisforum says a 50% graphics performance improvement over the previous Lunar Lake generation. If you need more graphical power, the system also includes an OCuLink port for connecting an external GPU.

Like most hardware released recently, the M2 Pro includes components specifically for AI tasks. Between the CPU, the updated NPU5, and the GPU, the system offers up to 180 TOPS of total compute. If you run local AI models, such as DeepSeek-R1, the system is equipped to handle them offline without relying on cloud servers. Minisforum also added a physical button for Microsoft Copilot and a built-in microphone array for voice commands. For memory and storage, it supports up to 128GB of LPDDR5X RAM and has three M.2 PCIe 4.0 slots.

In terms of connectivity, it includes three USB-A ports and three USB4 ports. For networking, it features both a 10G and a 2.5G LAN jack. Display outputs include one HDMI and one DisplayPort, and the system is rounded out with an SD card slot, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a security cable slot. Additionally, if you want to keep your desk completely clear, the metal chassis can be VESA mounted directly to the back of a monitor.

Minisforum MS-03 Specifications

For the more workstation-minded crowd, Minisforum is also launching the MS-03 at the end of June. Acting as a direct successor to the popular MS-01, the MS-03 bumps the TDP up to 70W and brings some heavy I/O upgrades. You get dual PCIe 5.0 SSD slots, DDR5 support up to 7200MHz, WiFi 7.

The port layout includes one 10G LAN jack and one 2.5G LAN jack, alongside two SFP+ ports for high-speed enterprise networking. For peripherals and displays, the system is equipped with five USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, an HDMI 2.1 port with FRL support, and a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack.

There is one minor downgrade on the MS-03 to be aware of: the PCIe expansion slot has been reduced from x8 to x4. Minisforum says this is a limitation of the Panther Lake-H CPU PCIe lanes. While an x4 slot is still plenty for most network or capture cards, you might see a slight performance hit if you plan on squeezing a low-profile graphics card into that slot.

The post Minisforum launches Panther Lake-powered M2 Pro and MS-03 mini PCs with up to 180 TOPS for local AI appeared first on Gizmochina.

Asus has announced a special anniversary version of its ROG NUC, and the hardware inside is about as excessive as you would expect.

Called the ROG NUC 16 Edition 20, the compact gaming PC was unveiled to celebrate 20 years of the Republic of Gamers brand. At first glance, the biggest difference is the design. Asus has given the system semi-transparent side panels and gold-colored accents, making it look noticeably different from the standard ROG NUC 16.

The more interesting changes are on the inside.

Like the regular model, the Edition 20 uses Intel’s Core Ultra 9 290HX processor, a 24-core chip based on Arrow Lake-HX. Memory can be configured up to 128GB of DDR5-6400, which is a surprisingly large amount for a machine this size.

The graphics upgrade is where things get serious. Instead of the RTX 5080 Laptop GPU found in the standard model, Asus has opted for NVIDIA’s RTX 5090 Laptop GPU with 24GB of GDDR7 memory.

For a mini PC, that is a lot of graphics horsepower. Only about 15% to 20% of all Mini PCs on the market pack truly capable graphics for gaming.

The system itself occupies roughly three liters of space, making it closer in size to a small console than a traditional gaming desktop. Keeping that kind of hardware cool is not a trivial task, so Asus relies on a triple-fan cooling system and a vapor chamber design. According to the company, the RTX 5090 can operate at power levels up to 175W.

Connectivity is about what you would expect from a premium gaming machine. Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 7, dual HDMI 2.1 ports, dual DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, multiple USB ports, and 2TB of PCIe 5.0 storage all come standard. There is also room for an additional M.2 SSD.

What’s interesting about products like this is that they blur the line between gaming laptops and desktops. The hardware is clearly laptop-derived, but the form factor behaves more like a desktop that happens to be unusually small.

Whether that trade-off makes sense will depend largely on pricing, which Asus has not disclosed yet. Limited-edition ROG products rarely come cheap, and a mini PC carrying an RTX 5090 was never going to be a budget option anyway.

Still, if the idea of fitting flagship gaming hardware into something barely larger than a game console sounds appealing, the ROG NUC 16 Edition 20 is probably one of the more extreme examples we’ve seen so far.

The post ASUS ROG NUC 16 Edition 20 launched with RTX 5090, semi-transparent design, up to 128GB RAM appeared first on Gizmochina.

Machenike has just listed a new mini PC, the Mini GTR, for pre-order on JD.com in China. It is priced at 3,999 yuan ($586), and for that price, you get a very compact desktop computer equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 8745H processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

Machenike Mini GTR Specifications

The computer is genuinely small. It takes up just 0.67 liters of space, measuring 128 by 128 by 41.3mm, and weighs about 650 grams. This makes it easy to tuck under a monitor or place on a crowded desk.

Inside, the Ryzen 7 8745H chip features 8 cores, 16 threads, and a boost clock of up to 4.9GHz. It is a laptop-class processor, but it provides more than enough speed for everyday work, web browsing, and standard multitasking.

For graphics, the GTR relies on AMD‘s integrated Radeon 780M. It is important to note that this isn’t a replacement for a dedicated gaming PC. However, the 780M is a capable integrated GPU. If you are willing to turn down the resolution and graphical settings, it can handle games like Cyberpunk 2077, Forza Horizon 5, or Fortnite at playable frame rates.

Machenike didn’t solder the memory or storage to the motherboard. You get two SO-DIMM slots for the DDR5 RAM and two M.2 slots for PCIe 4.0 storage, meaning you can easily swap in more capacity later. To keep the hardware from overheating in such a tight space, the system uses a dual heat-pipe cooling setup designed to let the processor run steadily at 65W.

The port selection is also very practical. The GTR includes six standard USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one fast 40Gbps USB4 port, an HDMI 2.0 port, and a DisplayPort 1.4. For networking, it has a 2.5G Ethernet jack, along with standard Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3.

Computing in 2026 looks different from what it did just a few years ago. While laptops remain a cornerstone of portable productivity, mini PCs have established a space of their own in portable computing. These tiny, powerful desktop rigs have become a popular alternative to laptops, and data shows that mini PCs could be growing even further. But this isn’t about simply replacing laptops, and more about redefining how we think about personal and professional computing.

The Mini PC Boom: What’s Driving the Growth

Mini PCs are thriving for several reasons, with rising market demand and changing user behavior. Businesses and individuals alike want machines that offer solid performance without the size, cost, and energy footprint of traditional desktops. According to industry analysts, the compact computing segment is growing rapidly, with remote work being a key factor. Distributed teams need reliable desktop-like performance without locking users into bulky hardware, and Mini PCs fill that role perfectly.

Another reason for the rise in mini PC adoption is the increasing emphasis on low energy devices. Mini PCs as a system are built with efficient processors and low powered designs. So you can even find mobile versions of CPUs and GPUs, or a combination of them with desktop grade hardware to balance power and performance. This draws significantly lower power compared to traditional desktops, helping businesses push for greener operations and reduced electricity costs.

Mini PCs vs Laptops: Differing Strengths, Not Replacement

While we’ve talked about some of their strong points, it is important to clarify that mini PCs are not replacing laptops. Rather, they are redefining desktop experiences for users who don’t require portability but need a small computing machine. Laptops excel in mobility, making them ideal for students, remote workers, and others who need productivity on the move. On the other hand, mini PCs are still built to be put in a fixed position. But these still deliver desktop class performance with flexibility and energy efficiency. The tiny computers sacrifice an included display and portability for higher performance, to bridge the gap between full-fledged PCs and laptops.

Why Mini PCs Are Popping Off in 2026

• Compact Form Factor: Mini PCs pack a serious punch into tiny enclosures. Unlike laptops, which must balance performance with battery life and compact internals, mini PCs can house more robust cooling solutions and higher-end components. All of this is on offer without taking up desktop space.
• Energy Efficiency and Sustainability: With a growing emphasis on reduced energy consumption, mini PCs shine. Many models use low-power chips that achieve high performance per watt, contributing to sustainability goals in offices and homes. The reported 31% rise in low-energy device adoption showcases this shift.
• Remote Work and Flexibility: Remote and hybrid work environments have amplified demand for flexible desktop setups. Mini PCs allow employees to have a powerful workstation at home without the bulk of a traditional tower.
• Cost-Effective: A mini PC delivers better price-to-performance than comparably powered laptops. These also offer more raw performance per dollar when considering CPU and GPU intensive workloads.

The Takeaway

Mini PCs are winning in 2026 not because they’re better than laptops in every way, but because they fit a growing set of needs like performance, space efficiency, energy savings, and remote-friendly computing. Laptops will likely retain their much larger market share in portable computing and convenience, but mini PCs are cementing their place as a versatile desktop alternative. The result is a healthier, more diverse computing ecosystem that gives users more choice than ever before.

Storage is handled via dual M.2 SSD slots with support for PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 drives, and users can scale up to 8TB total capacity. Despite its small footprint (around 3 liters in volume), the system doesn’t skimp on connectivity. It offers a wide range of ports, including multiple USB-A (USB-3.2 Gen2), Thunderbolt 4/USB4 Type-C, dual HDMI 2.1, dual DisplayPort 2.1, 2.5 Gb Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.

As of right now, the pricing details of the Jean Canyon NUC 15 Performance are still at large. But the brand has confirmed the base storage configuration, which will start from 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. So the higher end options are likely quite expensive, especially considering the current pricing for PC components like RAM. In related news, Minix recently announced the new Neo Z95 mini PC with modest specs.

If you’ve ever wished for a full-fledged computer smaller than your smartphone, the new Minix Neo Z95 mini PC might be exactly that. Minix has launched this ultra-compact system designed for everyday desktop tasks. We’ve already seen tiny computers before, but the new Minix Neo Z95 can literally fit in your pocket.

Pocket Friendly Minix Neo Z95 Mini PC Specs

Measuring roughly 88 x 88 x 43mm, the Neo Z95 is small enough to hold in one hand yet packs a surprisingly capable configuration inside. Under the hood, it is equipped with Intel’s N95 processor, a quad-core Alder Lake-N chip that reaches up to around 3.4GHz. This CPU isn’t the most capable, but it has enough horsepower for smooth productivity, web browsing, office work, and video streaming. It isn’t aimed at heavy gaming or demanding creative workloads. Instead, it provides reliable performance for daily use cases.

Paired with the CPU is 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 512GB PCIe 3.0 SSD, offering generous memory and storage for a mini PC of this size. The SSD can be upgraded for even larger storage down the line, though the RAM is soldered on board. Despite its tiny form factor, the Neo Z95 doesn’t skimp on ports, offering three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, two HDMI outputs and one DisplayPort, allowing the system to support triple-display setups. You also get two Gigabit LAN ports and a 3.5mm audio jack.

This mini PC runs Windows out of the box, making it ready for familiar desktop apps, streaming services, and office tools. Its active cooling keeps temperatures in check during prolonged usage, while the pocket-friendly size and VESA-mount compatibility make it easy to tuck behind a monitor or TV. Pricing hasn’t been officially confirmed by Minix yet, but most Intel N95 powered mini PCs are in the budget segment.
