A new generation of Agentic PC built for large-scale local AI computing

AI is moving beyond simply running applications. The next generation of computing is increasingly about understanding context, reasoning across information, generating content, and taking action.

This is the vision behind the Agentic PC.

Today, GMKtec officially introduces the EVO-X5 Pro, a flagship desktop AI supercomputer designed to bring large-scale AI workloads from the cloud to the desktop. Powered by the AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ PRO 495 and equipped with up to 192GB of LPDDR5X-8533 unified memory, the EVO-X5 Pro is built for demanding local AI inference, professional workloads, and next-generation AI agents.

And during the final stages of development, GMKtec achieved a new breakthrough: the EVO-X5 Pro has moved beyond its original 300B design target and now supports fully offline LLM inference with up to 320 billion parameters, with the appropriate model, software, quantization, and system configuration.

From a 300B Design Target to 320B

When GMKtec began developing the EVO-X5 Pro, the system was designed around a 300B-parameter local AI target.

The challenge was not simply processing a large model. Running models at this scale locally requires sufficient memory capacity, memory bandwidth, GPU resources, software optimization, and sustained system performance.

Through continued engineering tuning and development, GMKtec has pushed the platform beyond its original target.

The EVO-X5 Pro now supports up to 320B-parameter LLMs fully offline.

This development demonstrates the headroom of the system's large unified-memory architecture and opens the door to more demanding local AI workflows without requiring users to send every request to a cloud service.

Actual model compatibility and performance depend on the selected model, software, quantization, workload, and system configuration.

Powered by AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ PRO 495

At the heart of the EVO-X5 Pro is the AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ PRO 495, combining CPU, GPU, and NPU resources on a single high-performance platform.

The processor features:

● 16 Zen 5 CPU cores / 32 threads

● Up to 5.2 GHz boost frequency

● AMD Radeon™ 8065S graphics

● 40 Compute Units

● RDNA™ 3.5 architecture

● Hardware ray tracing

● AMD XDNA™ 2 NPU

● Up to 55 TOPS of AI performance

The result is a platform designed not only for AI inference, but also for GPU computing, content creation, development, virtualization, and other demanding desktop workloads.

The IFA 2026 debut also highlighted the growing strategic relationship between GMKtec and AMD. Michael Nordquist, Vice President of Client Business at AMD, joined GMKtec's launch event in Berlin to celebrate the EVO-X5 Pro and reaffirm the companies' shared vision for the future of edge AI.

The EVO-X5 Pro also received the PCWELT Best of IFA 2026 and SmartZone BEST OF IFA 2026 Innovation Award.

192GB Unified Memory: Built for Large Models

One of the defining characteristics of the EVO-X5 Pro is its up to 192GB of LPDDR5X-8533 unified memory.

The system provides up to 273GB/s of memory bandwidth, while allowing up to 160GB to be dynamically allocated as graphics memory.

For local AI, memory capacity matters.

Large language models can require substantial memory not only for model weights, but also for context, inference workloads, and other processing requirements. By combining CPU and GPU resources with a large unified memory pool, the EVO-X5 Pro is designed to provide the capacity required by large-scale local AI workloads.

This architecture is central to the system's ability to move beyond its original 300B target and support up to 320B parameters locally.

Designed for Private, Local AI

Running AI locally changes how users can approach sensitive workloads.

Instead of relying entirely on remote cloud inference, local AI can allow organizations and individuals to keep data and workloads closer to where they are being processed.

The EVO-X5 Pro is designed for applications including:

● Private large language models

● Local knowledge bases

● AI coding assistants

● AI agents and multi-agent workflows

● Research and experimentation

● Professional content creation

● Enterprise AI deployments

● Offline AI inference

For businesses, this can also provide greater control over data, infrastructure, and deployment environments.

Enterprise-Ready by Design

The EVO-X5 Pro is not designed solely as a high-performance consumer desktop.

It incorporates features intended for professional and enterprise environments, including AMD DASH, a dedicated dTPM 2.0 security chip, and OS-independent out-of-band remote management.

With OOB management, IT administrators can remotely monitor, maintain, and manage systems even across different operating environments.

The platform has also been validated for 24/7 continuous operation, making it suitable for workloads that require sustained computing and remote administration.

High-Speed Connectivity for AI Workflows

Large-scale local AI often requires more than compute performance. High-speed storage, networking, external GPUs, and multiple systems can become part of the workflow.

The EVO-X5 Pro provides:

● 2 × USB4 V2 — up to 80Gbps

● 2 × USB4 — up to 40Gbps

● 2 × 10GbE LAN

● eGPU support

● Multi-system clustering

● Up to 24TB storage

● Up to 8K display output

This combination provides a high-bandwidth foundation for professional AI development, local data processing, high-speed storage, and scalable multi-system workflows.

Designed for Sustained Performance

To support demanding workloads over extended periods, the EVO-X5 Pro uses a vapor chamber and triple-fan cooling system.

The system also features a CNC-machined all-metal chassis and three performance modes, allowing users to balance performance and operating requirements according to their workload.

The result is a desktop platform designed not just to run AI models, but to serve as a long-term local computing workstation.

Building the Agentic PC Era

The EVO-X5 Pro represents GMKtec's next step toward the Agentic PC — a category of personal computing where AI is not simply an application running on the system, but an integral part of how the computer works.

With the combination of AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ PRO 495, up to 192GB unified memory, and support for up to 320B-parameter LLMs locally, the EVO-X5 Pro brings large-scale AI capabilities to a desktop platform.

From developers and researchers to businesses and professional creators, GMKtec's goal is to make powerful local AI computing more practical, private, and accessible — and to move the desktop from simply running applications toward becoming an active AI computing platform.
