Machenike Mini GTX launches as flagship gaming mini PC with up to AMD Ryzen 9

The Machenike Mini GTX has made its official debut in China with a starting price of CNY 2,899, around $400. At that price, you will be getting a gaming mini PC with the latest Ryzen 7 8845HS, a powerful processor from the AMD Hawk Point lineup. The base variant pairs that CPU with 16 GB of DDR5 RAM and 1 TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD.

As for the top-end model, it costs CNY 3,599, about $497. This variant of the mini PC bumps up the processor to the Ryzen 9 7940HS, which is a flagship from the last-gen Phoenix family. This CPU is paired with 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of SSD. The other two configurations are basically the same as the base and the high-end variant but with different RAM capacities.

Regardless of which option you pick, you will be getting the Radeon 780M iGPU. This makes the Machenike Mini GTX capable of running most of the modern games with respectable frames. Of course, the mini computer does come with a USB4 port, which will let you pair it up with an eGPU, but an OCuLink port would’ve made the setup more capable of gaming.

On the note of the ports, there are plenty of them, including three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, one 10 Gbps Type-C with PD support, one DisplayPort 1.4, one HDMI 2.0, and two 2.5G Ethernet ports. The mini PC can handle quad display outputs.

When it comes to cooling, Machenike has integrated a robust setup into the Mini GTX that promises to offer a stable 65W performance. There are three different performance modes that you can choose from. One of them is “Quiet,” which makes the mini PC operate at 32 dB noise.

Other highlights include an illuminated logo on the top of the chassis, a compact 0.82-liter housing, and VESA mount support. There’s no word on global availability, but Machenike doesn’t usually bring all its products outside China. So, we may not see this gaming mini PC release in other markets.
