Earlier this week, GMKtec launched the EVO-X3 globally, which features the same Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip used in last year’s EVO-X2 model and currently on sale for $1,999. The company didn't stop there; it has now introduced a new mini PC that also joins its EVO series.

This time, the company is returning to the EVO-X1 generation with the launch of the EVO-X1 Pro. For clarity, the original EVO-X1 was first released at the beginning of 2025 with an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor and OCuLink support. The EVO-X1 offers fast performance from both the CPU and GPU considering its compact size measuring 110x107x63mm.

In contrast, the newer EVO-X1 Pro relies on the new Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 processor from AMD's Gorgon Point series, which is essentially a renamed version of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. It scores slightly higher in CPU performance tests compared to the previous generation. Additionally, AMD has increased the clock speed of the integrated Radeon 890M GPU by up to approximately 7%, from 2.9 GHz to 3.1 GHz.

OCuLink port support is back, along with a PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage slot and a dual Gigabit Ethernet port. RAM can now go up to 64GB. However, GMKtec has replaced the LPDDR5X-7500 RAM used in the EVO-X1 with slower LPDDR5-6400 RAM in the new EVO-X1 Pro model. The device is currently available for pre-order in China with 64GB of RAM and a 1TB storage space for $1,469. Reports indicate that the EVO-X1 Pro will be globally launched on July 14th for $1,249.
