GMKTec Mini-PC with AMD Strix Halo APU: Compact Gaming Revolution
Mini-PCs are becoming seriously interesting. GMKTec is set to bring the bomb with their brand-new Mini-PC. It features AMD's revolutionary Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU, codenamed "Strix Halo." While Mini-PCs might seem for trivial tasks, this tiny beast delivers serious gaming power.
Strix Halo: Gaming APU Redefined in a Mini-PC
AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 395 "Strix Halo" is not an average chip. It boasts:
- 16 Cores, 32 Threads of Zen 5 Power: Substantial processing for demanding games and multitasking.
- 40 RDNA 3.5 GPU Compute Units: A massive integrated GPU designed for gaming.
The result is impressively high frame rates in demanding titles, even at 1440p resolution.
1440p Gaming Achieved on a Mini-PC
Early benchmarks from ETA Prime reveal the capabilities of this GMKTec Mini-PC. Forget low settings and fuzzy graphics. This Mini-PC provides respectable FPS in modern games at 1440p.
| Game | Settings | Resolution | Average FPS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cyberpunk 2077 | High Preset (FSR Enabled) | 1440p | 80 FPS |
| GTA 5 Enhanced | Very High Preset | Native 1440p | 90 FPS |
| Marvel Rivals | High Preset (No FSR) | 1440p | 65 FPS |
| Spider-Man 2 | High Preset (FSR Quality) | 1440p | 90 FPS |
| Doom Eternal | Ultra Nightmare Preset (No FSR) | 1440p | 140 FPS |
| Mortal Kombat | Ultra High | 1440p | 60 FPS |
| God of War Ragnarok | High Preset (No FSR) | 1440p | 77 FPS |
These numbers are notable. Cyberpunk 2077 at 80 FPS on High at 1440p and DOOM Eternal at 140 FPS, all while consuming around 130W of power. This performance is remarkable for a Mini-PC.
