🔥 GMKtec isn't getting the 192GB Local AI market to itself. ... but this has a few interesting differences ... CHUWI unveiled the UniBox AI495 Pro at IFA. And they stuffed a ridiculous amount of AI hardware into 2.9 liters Stats 👇 🧠 Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 ⚙️ 16 Zen 5 cores / 32 threads 🎮 Radeon 8065S — 40 CUs 💾 192GB LPDDR5X-8533 unified memory 🎮 Up to 160GB allocated as VRAM ⚡ 273 GB/s memory bandwidth 💽 3× M.2 PCIe SSD slots 🌐 Dual 10GbE 🔌 OCuLink ⚡ 2× USB4 📡 Wi-Fi 7 CHUWI says it can run 300B-parameter models locally at 4-bit. (Same as GMKtec) ⚠️ That's a capacity claim, and really no 300B TPS benchmark shown yet. 👀 But OCuLink makes this one especially interesting. You could attach an NVIDIA GPU when you want CUDA... OR potentially attach an AMD Radeon with 24/32/48GB VRAM and use a multi-GPU runtime to split a huge model across the 8065S + discrete Radeon. A 48GB card could theoretically mean roughly 160GB + 48GB = 208GB of aggregate GPU model capacity. 🤯 ⚠️ Not one unified VRAM pool ... and I would want to see this exact configuration tested. 👀 192GB + OCuLink + dual 10GbE in 2.9L. Now show us the price... and somebody plug a 48GB Radeon into it. 🔥

Yeah, it seems like GMKtec isn't treating Local AI as a niche category. It's their strategy. 🎯GMKtec unveiled its IFA 2026 lineup, and look at where mini PCs are heading 👇 🧠 EVO-X2 AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 Up to 128GB unified memory 🧠 EVO-X3 Ryzen AI Max+ 395 Built for local model inference + AI development 🎮 NEO-X1 Pro Ryzen 9 9955HX3D RTX 50-series GPU support GMKtec now says it's moving from a mini-PC maker toward an: “AI computing platform provider.”

Need 32gb RAM and 16 threads? Hetzner: $275/month to rent (€237.99) GMKtec: $759 to own (often on sale for $700) I know VPSs are overpriced and all but wtf? This is insane. Renting for 3 months is more expensive than buying outright.

AMD's opening keynote at IFA is on personal AI on Sept 4, and GMKtec is revealing their new Gorgon Halo configs on Sept 5. I hope we see a 192GB SKU from someone soon. It would be very tempting to buy.
