Why this score
The score adds up these parts. Each part has a weight. A part counts as the average of its sources, pulled toward 80 when there are few sources.

Thin: only 2 reviews and buyer ratings, so they are pulled toward the average.
80 is the field average. A part counts as 80 + (average − 80) × N ÷ (N + 1), where N is its number of sources. One source counts half of the gap from 80. No sources count as 80.

Specs
- Chip
- AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395
- CPU
- 16 cores / 32 threads
- Memory
- 128 GB
- GPU memory
- 96 GBWindows/BIOS: AMD Variable Graphics Memory, up to 75% of RAM = 96 GB on 128 GB (AMD rule; the largest share the vendor tools allow). A Notebookcheck news caption says up to 96 GB in the BIOS of this box. Tuned Linux maxima need kernel parameters and are not used: up to 124 GiB (kyuz0 toolboxes on a Framework Desktop, Fedora, amdgpu.gttsize=126976, ttm.pages_limit=32505856, 4 GiB left to the OS), about 110 GB (runaihome), about 108 GB stable (Jeff Geerling).

Notes
Tall triple-fan redesign of the EVO-X2 with 128 GB only, an OCuLink port for an external GPU and 2.5 GbE. No independent power, noise or tokens/s measurements were found yet, and it costs EUR 3,499.99 at the maker's EU shop.
Launch date conflicts in coverage seen in search results: early access 22 June and global launch 29 June 2026 versus an official launch on 6 July 2026 (June chosen as the earliest sale). Geizhals links its Tom's Hardware review entry to a wrong URL (a DeepCool cooler review); the title reads 'GMKtec Evo-X3 review: Strix Halo in a brand new suit' and the review itself could not be opened. The maker page lists power modes of 54/85/115 W (peak 140 W), which are TDP settings, not wall power. Tom's Hardware's 80/100 is Geizhals' normalised value, read via Geizhals. OS: the box pages read name none, so the list is AMD's Windows and Linux support for the chip; a Notebookcheck headline shows SteamOS running on it. GPU memory follows AMD's Variable Graphics Memory rule for every box with this chip (75% of RAM: 48 GB on 64 GB, 96 GB on 128 GB); tuned Linux figures are in the GPU memory note. FP16 TFLOPS is AMD's figure for the chip.
