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 1 review or buyer rating, so it is 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.

- 8 cores / 16 threads (Zen 4, Hawk Point)
- Memory

- GPU memory
- 48 GBNo AMD Variable Graphics Memory on this chip (AMD introduced it with the Ryzen AI 300 series). Windows' documented limit for system memory used by graphics (Microsoft, 'Calculating Graphics Memory') is MIN(80% of RAM, MAX(RAM - 16 GB, 50% of RAM)) = 48 GB on 64 GB of RAM. No BIOS UMA maximum for this box was found, so the Windows figure is used. Linux GTT tuning is not documented for this iGPU.

Notes
Good-value 0.96 L box with two USB4, OCuLink and dual 2.5 GbE; it runs 36 dB(A) under load. Radeon 780M with about 90 GB/s from dual-channel DDR5-5600, so small and mid-size models only.
Notebookcheck's power (6.6 / 9.1 / 11.3 W idle, 76.8 / 88 W load) and noise (idle 30.2, load 36.4 dB(A)) are from a 32 GB / 1 TB unit with a 54 W limit in its spec table; GMKtec rates the chip for 35-70 W. Notebookcheck lists one Intel I226-V LAN controller, GMKtec lists two I226-V ports. The maker's page lists 16 GB as the base RAM line and 'expandable to 64 GB', while the shop sells 32 GB and 64 GB builds. The shop JSON shows the 64 GB build as unavailable. Memory speed source: GMKtec EU page: SO-DIMM x2 DDR5 5600 dual channel; 5600 MT/s x 128 bit = 89.6 GB/s.
