GMKtec NEO-X1 Mini PC Launches with Ryzen 9 9955HX3D and RTX 5070

GMKtec introduced the NEO-X1 series, a compact 14.6L mini desktop that brings high-end desktop GPUs into a small form factor. This shift matters because it allows users to build powerful gaming rigs that fit in tight spaces without sacrificing the performance of full-size towers. We can now see a viable alternative to bulky gaming PCs for those with limited desk space.

Compact 14.6L chassis houses desktop-grade components and liquid cooling

The system relies on AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX processors paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards. GMKtec offers two distinct configurations to target different performance needs within the same chassis. The standard model targets general high-end gaming, while the Pro model aims for enthusiasts requiring maximum graphical throughput.

Specifications

• Form Factor: 14.6L MoDT
• CPU (Standard): AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX
• CPU (Pro): AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D
• GPU (Standard): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (8GB)
• GPU (Pro): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (12GB)

Cooling and power delivery form the backbone of this compact design. The chassis houses an integrated liquid cooling system to manage heat from the components. It also includes an 850W 80+ Gold fully modular power supply and a motherboard with a 13-phase VRM. These specs ensure the AMD CPUs can sustain up to 160W of power release without thermal throttling.

Connectivity and storage options round out the technical specifications for modern users. The board supports two PCIe Gen5 SSD slots for fast storage expansion. Network capabilities include 2.5GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 7 for high-speed data transfer. We still do not know the specific RAM configurations available for these units.

Pricing starts at 11,999 CNY (around $1,770) for the standard model with the Ryzen 9 9955HX and RTX 5060 Ti. The Pro version, equipped with the Ryzen 9 9955HX3D and RTX 5070, costs 16,499 CNY (around $2,434). GMKtec plans to sell these units on JD.com in China, though the exact launch date remains TBD.

We looked at ASUS ROG Strix 10 Series Gaming earlier while tracking GMKtec launches. The NEO-X1 series positions itself as a direct competitor in the high-performance mini PC market. Buyers can expect a fully integrated solution that balances size with desktop-class hardware capabilities.
