GMKtec Quietly Alters EVO-X2 Mini-PC Configuration in China
The company has made the change probably some time before the announcement- the new mid-tier configurations for the mini-PC were just introduced into China. It is based on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 "Strix Halo" APU. The change targets the storage capacity offered with the 96 GB RAM variant.
Configuration Change in Detail
Three memory configurations for the EVO-X2 used to be offered before. While the 64 GB and 128 GB options are unchanged, the 96 GB RAM model seems to have been altered as follows:
- Old Middle Config: 96 GB RAM with a 2 TB SSD.
- New Middle Config: 96 GB RAM with a 1 TB SSD.
This comes as more competing designs under the same AMD Strix Halo platform, such as the FEVM FA-EX9, Beelink GTR9 Pro, XPlus XRival, Aokzoe Mini PC and Geekom A9 Mega, are starting to enter the market.
New Chinese Pricing and International Availability
With the new configuration, GMKtec has also introduced a new price for the 96 GB/1 TB model in China. The new specification will be priced:
- New 96 GB / 1 TB SKU: CNY 10,999 (around USD 1,599).
This price is CNY 1,000 (around USD 160) higher than the 64 GB / 1 TB base model. It is unknown whether GMKtec will place this new 96 GB / 1 TB configuration on the international market. The previous 96 GB / 2 TB version is still showing a global price of $1,799 , and $2,599.99 On amazon US; there has been no information about its possible price adjustment.
