Recently, the globally renowned cross-border e-commerce platform Rakuten officially announced the winners of its 2025 Category Awards. GMKtec, a leading Chinese brand in desktop AI supercomputing, was honored with the "Rakuten 2025 Category Peak Award" for its exceptional product strength, robust market performance, and profound brand influence. This accolade not only represents high recognition of GMKtec's dedicated achievements in the fields of mini PCs and desktop AI supercomputing but also validates the core competitiveness of Chinese tech innovation brands in the global market.

A Benchmark Award in Japan’s Highly Competitive Market

As one of Japan’s most influential e-commerce platforms, Rakuten is known for its rigorous annual category award evaluation system, which comprehensively assesses brand performance across multiple dimensions, including annual sales, market share, customer satisfaction, service quality, and innovation capabilities.

Winning the Category Peak Award is widely regarded as a key benchmark of excellence in the Japanese market.GMKtec’s achievement is no coincidence. It is the result of years of sustained technological innovation and deep global market cultivation. As early as 2024, GMKtec recorded over RMB 100 million in transaction volume on Rakuten Japan, earning a major performance award. The 2025 honor further solidifies GMKtec’s leadership position in Japan’s mini PC market.

Product Excellence at the Core of Global Recognition

Behind this award lies GMKtec’s irreplaceable technological strength. Recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise and a “Specialized, Refined, and Innovative” enterprise in Shenzhen, GMKtec is driven by its brand philosophy of Extreme Performance, Modern Design, and Maker Spirit.

The company focuses on low-carbon, energy-efficient intelligent terminals and pioneered the industry-defining concept of the “Desktop AI Supercomputing Center,” building strong technological and manufacturing barriers.

Its flagship product, EVO-X2, is the world’s first desktop AI supercomputer powered by the AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 processor. Delivering a combined CPU + GPU + NPU performance of up to 126 TOPS, EVO-X2 achieves heterogeneous computing performance that is 2.2× higher than NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 in LM Studio AI workloads.

It also enables local deployment of 200B-parameter large language models for individuals and small-to-medium enterprises—redefining the performance ceiling of compact AI computing.

International Design and Industry-Endorsed Excellence

GMKtec’s technological leadership is matched by global design recognition. In 2025, EVO-X2 won the Platinum Award at the American Design Awards, while EVO-T1 received the Gold Award at the French Design Awards. This marks the first time a Chinese desktop AI supercomputing brand has received top-tier international design honors, highlighting GMKtec’s world-class product capabilities.

At the same time, GMKtec maintains deep strategic partnerships with global technology leaders such as AMD, Intel, and Microsoft. The EVO-X2 has also received a signed endorsement from AMD Chair and CEO Dr. Lisa Su, reflecting the strong collaboration between the two companies in advancing desktop AI supercomputing innovation and adoption.

Strong Global Footprint with Outstanding Performance in Japan

Its products are now sold in over 70 countries, supported by distributors and service networks in 35 markets, with market share consistently ranking top three across major cross-border e-commerce platforms.

Japan stands out as a key market: GMKtec occupies seven of the top ten positions in the Amazon Japan mini PC category and claims both first and second place in single-product sales on Rakuten. These tangible results reflect strong consumer trust and market validation.

Winning the Rakuten 2025 Category Peak Award is a powerful endorsement of GMKtec’s strategy of “rooted locally, expanding globally,” while further amplifying the global influence of Shenzhen’s innovation-driven brands.
