GMKtec announces imminent availability of Strix Halo EVO-X2 mini PC

GMKtec formally introduced the EVO-X2 at the 2025 AI PC Innovation Summit that took place on March 18, but back then, the company didn't share when this Strix Halo mini PC would be available. However, a recent announcement revealed that the system will be available to pre-order in China on April 7, 2025.

With this announcement, GMK has also revealed the pre-order price of the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 mini PC. The configuration with 128 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 2 TB of SSD will go for CNY 14,999, about $2,066. This steep pricing was quite expected as the EVO-X1, which is powered by the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, launched with a starting price of $1,299.99 (32 GB curr. $1,029.99 on Amazon). It's also worth noting that the lower-end variants, one possibly with 32 GB of RAM, could be more affordable.

As for the mini PC itself, the EVO-X2 brings the current most powerful iGPU, the Radeon 8060S. It features 40 CUs (Compute Units), while the Radeon 890M, which is Strix Point's top-end iGPU, comes with 16 CUs. Per the recent test done by ETA Prime, inside a mini PC, this iGPU can offer a decent 1440p gaming performance.

The company has also confirmed that the EVO-X2 sports a dual-turbo fan, which is paired with a VC heat sink to offer up to 140 W of performance. There is a decent selection of connectivity ports as well, including:

• 4x USB-A
• 2x 40 Gbps USB-C
• 1x SD card reader
• 1x 2.5 GbE Ethernet
• 1x HDMI 2.1
• 1x DP 2.0
• 1x audio port

For wireless connectivity, the GMKtec EVO-X2 features WiFi 7 and Bluetooth. Pricing and availability details for the global market are yet to be disclosed, but this Strix Halo mini PC is expected to hit the international market soon after its Chinese launch.
