# GMKtec Crams OCuLink, Wi-Fi 7 and Dual PCIe 4.0 Into the EVO-X3, With a 192GB Ryzen AI MAX+ 495 Monster Following Later This Year Source: [https://wccftech.com/gmktec-oculink-wi-fi-7-dual-pcie-4-0-into-evo-x3-192gb-ryzen-ai-max-495-monster-later-this-year/](https://wccftech.com/gmktec-oculink-wi-fi-7-dual-pcie-4-0-into-evo-x3-192gb-ryzen-ai-max-495-monster-later-this-year/) GMKtec gave us a first look at their upcoming EVO\-X3 Mini PC, the follow\-up to its X2, with the same AMD Ryzen AI MAX\+ 395 chip\. ## AMD Ryzen AI MAX\+ 395 Powers The Upgraded GMKtec EVO\-X3, & Will Get The Ryzen AI MAX\+ 495 Later This Year Last year, we tested the newly launched[GMKtec EVO\-X2 Mini PC](https://wccftech.com/review/gmktec-evo-x2-ai-amd-ryzen-ai-max-395-mini-pc-the-worlds-most-powerful-soc-for-ai-gaming-everything/)\. The system features the AMD Ryzen AI MAX\+ 395, and is a strong competitor to the NVIDIA DGX Spark, featuring a much lower price point\. The company is now launching a follow\-up to this PC, the EVO\-X3\. The GMKtec EVO\-X3 is going to be even better, with the same Ryzen AI MAX chip and upgraded IO\. The first and most important upgrade is the OCuLink port, which will allow users to run a discrete graphics card externally\. This will enable much faster eGPU support than the previous USB4 ports\. Besides that, the system will come with Wi\-Fi 7 support, USB4 ports, dual PCIe 4\.0 drive bays for storage, and a much larger footprint than the X3\.

The taller height allows the company to cram even more thermal headroom with larger fans and exhaust vents\. The system will be launching with 128 GB as standard, but we were told that the company is also working on a Ryzen AI MAX\+ 495 variant, which will pack 192 GB of LPDDR5X memory\. This will enable support for larger AI models and unified memory support for the GPU up to 160 GB\. The reference configuration will come with 2 TB of storage capacity\. ![](https://cdn.wccftech.com/files/placeholder-mobile.png) ![](https://cdn.wccftech.com/files/placeholder-desktop.png) [![A GMK NucBox 7 mini PC is shown side by side with a slim, unbranded desktop PC, highlighting their compact designs and various port options.](https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/20260604_174459-scaled.jpg)](https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/20260604_174459-scaled.jpg)Currently, there's no word on pricing, but the[Ryzen AI MAX\+ 495](https://wccftech.com/amd-pushes-ryzen-ai-max-400-to-192gb-memory-single-chip-run-300b-ai-llms-locally/)should retail at a higher price than the 395 variant due to its larger 192 GB memory and the new chip\. Availability of the EVO\-X3 is expected to be real soon, while the 495 variant will be coming later this year\.
