- The new GMKTEC MINI prototype can run demanding games at 1440p above 60 fps
- It has an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU with an IGPU Radeon 8060s
- No price or launch date has been announced at this time
A new GMKTEC MINI PC prototype is to boast of what has been called the “best IGPU performance” ever seen with hardware that seems to play demanding titles at 1440p and more than 60 fps in all areas.
Dressed by Tweak Town, the last GMKTEC mini PC prototype presents an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU with 16 nuclei (32 wires) and a Radeon 8060 (with 40 RDNA 3.5 GPU CUS) baked in silicon. The result is a machine size machine that has impressive figures, all without the need for one of the best graphics cards inside.
Youtuber ETA Prime, with more than one million subscribers, had exclusive access to this prototype machine, which was so blocked that the platform itself was pixelated throughout the video.

Attend
The results speak for themselves. The new MINI PC was able to execute Cyberpunk 2077 to an average of 80 fps in the high prejustment at 1440p, with the improved edition of Grand Vhoft Auto V recently launched (with a new functionality and lighting of lightning layout) that runs at 90 fps in the very high prejustment. It is a similar story for Marvel rivals at 65 fps natively with high environments, and 77 fps in God of War Ragnarök also maximized.
When we begin to see the limitations of the performance of AMD Ryzen ai Max+ 395 APU is in the avant-garde PC ports, as can be seen with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Insomniac Games’ Superhero Open-World Title Word to achieve an ideal performance.
Well optimized titles have no trouble running at a high level in the GMKTEC machine, as can be seen with the way Dom Eternal in 1440p in ultra nightmare, with an average frame of 140 without climbing. This machine can handle some of the most demanding titles in the market without compromising performance or images despite lacking a desktop GPU.
It is a demonstration of what is possible of a high -end APU when running at 140 w compared to a lower power that can be seen from a configuration all in one or laptop. Ultimately, the price of a platform like this will do it or break it for most people, since this could (hopefully) be an affordable way to take PC games to the living room or as a replacement of a replacement of Xbox S.
A step forward for integrated graphics
While an APU AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 will not make the best processors and graphics cards sweat with what it can do, taking into account that it is a SOC that runs 140 W, we are impressed by the level of performance claimed on display. We have seen that several other manufacturers have a level of success with the Mini PC sets of previous generation, such as the bad start of Ax A1 Pro and the Beelink Ser9 AI PC, however, this “Strix Halo” platform shows that the hardware can resist discreet solutions in an impossible factor.
The SOC itself is billed by AMD as facilitating the “next -generation AI PC”, since it is mainly used in some of the best ultrabooks in the market, such as the ASUS Rog Flow Z13. In general, we do not think of the Ryzen AI chips as game hardware, given the lack of discreet graphics (either in the form of laptop or desktop). However, the chip inside the laptop has a predetermined 55W TDP and not the 140W that is demanded in the prototype test footage.
The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 supports a configurable TDP range between 45 and 120 W, which means that the mini PC prototype would have overcrowded, benefiting from the additional air flow of the chassis and the cases inside. As such, we are seeing what can happen from the last Ryzen pushed beyond its limit and not necessarily what the final consumption product (if released) could do GMKTEC. The result could probably present a 120W TDP and lose up to 16% of its performance potential at the cost of stability and longevity, but this has not yet been confirmed.
