Geekom EVO-X3 Mini PC Launches With 128GB RAM for $3,195

Geekom has launched the EVO-X3 mini PC, a compact workstation designed for users who need serious local AI processing power without building a traditional tower. This device targets developers and creators who run large language models on their own hardware, offering a dense configuration that fits on a desk. The system ships globally starting July 6, 2024, bringing high-end AI capabilities to a small form factor that was previously difficult to achieve.

Compact workstation targets local AI workloads with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395

The EVO-X3 centers on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, which combines a 16-core, 32-thread CPU with a Radeon 8060S GPU based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture. Geekom equips this APU with up to 128GB of LPDDR5X-8000 unified memory, allowing users to allocate up to 96GB of that RAM to the graphics processor for heavy workloads. This unified memory design lets the CPU and GPU share resources efficiently, which is critical for running complex AI models locally.

Specifications

• CPU: AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (16 cores, 32 threads)
• Memory: Up to 128GB LPDDR5X-8000 unified
• GPU: Radeon 8060S (RDNA 3.5)
• NPU: 126 TOPS (XDNA 2)
• Storage: Dual PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots

Geekom claims the system can run the Qwen3 235B large language model locally without difficulty, leveraging the chip’s integrated XDNA 2 NPU that delivers 126 TOPS of AI performance. The vendor also states that LM Studio inference performance on this device exceeds that of the Nvidia RTX 4090, though independent verification of this specific benchmark is pending. The workstation supports dual PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD slots for up to 16TB of storage and includes OCuLink, USB4, 2.5GbE, and Wi-Fi 7 for robust connectivity.

The cooling system uses three copper heat pipes and three fans to manage heat, offering three performance modes for silent, balanced, or maximum output. Pricing begins at 21,699 CNY (around $3,195) for the 128GB RAM and 1TB storage model in China, with a 4TB version costing 25,699 CNY (around $3,784). International buyers can purchase the 2TB version for $3,600 USD or the 4TB version for $3,849 USD. We looked at EVO-X3 closely — see our earlier coverage on GMKtec EVO-X3 Mini PC Unveiled with.

The EVO-X3 represents a significant step in mini PC capabilities by integrating high-core-count CPUs, substantial unified memory, and dedicated AI accelerators into a single chassis. Users requiring local LLM inference or heavy AI workloads now have a compact, pre-built option that avoids the complexity of assembling a custom desktop. The device is available for purchase globally as of July 6, 2024.
