Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 mini PCs with 192GB RAM emerge - Acemagic, GMKtek, Framework debut ultra-expensive 'supercomputers' that can handle 300B-parameter
Overview
AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 is entering the mini PC market with unprecedented memory capacity and local AI support for massive language models. After launching in May 2026, these devices now offer up to 192 GB of memory, building on the success of the 2025 Ryzen AI MAX+ 395, which appeared in at least 37 mini PCs costing above $1,500.
Processor Capabilities
The Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 delivers significant performance gains across AI workloads. It features 16 Zen 5 cores, 32 threads, 40 graphics compute units (GCUs), and 131 TOPS of AI performance. The integrated Radeon 8065S graphics share system memory, eliminating the need for separate graphics memory. Key specifications include:
- Clock speed: Up to 5.2 GHz
- Memory: LPDDR5X running at 8,533 MT/s
- Bandwidth: Approximately 273 GB/s
- GPU compute: 40 GCUs with hardware ray tracing support
- Neural accelerator: XDNA 2 capable of up to 55 TOPS
Manufacturer Offerings
GMKtec - EVO X5 Pro
GMKtec unveiled the EVO X5 Pro at IFA 2026, built around the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495. This ultra‑expensive mini PC offers:
- Memory: Up to 192 GB of LPDDR5X
- Form factor: Roughly 4.5 litres (4.5 L)
- Graphics: Radeon 8065S with up to 160 GB allocatable to graphics processing
- Performance: Can run large language models with as many as 300B parameters locally without cloud services
- Additional features: Four USB4 connections, external graphics support, 8K output, networking options for linked systems, a vapor chamber, three fans, and three operating modes for sustained workloads
Framework - Desktop Model
Framework prepares a Desktop variant featuring the PRO 495 paired with 192 GB of LPDDR5X memory and 273 GB/s bandwidth. The system combines 16 Zen 5 cores, 32 threads, 40 GCUs, and 131 TOPS for AI workloads. At 4.5 litres, it occupies significantly more space than competitors. Optional Linux preloading is available for users who prefer that option.
Acemagic - F9A
Acemagic presents a more compact alternative called the F9A, which houses the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 with up to 192 GB of LPDDR5X memory inside a roughly 2‑liter enclosure. Physical dimensions are 158.5 × 158.5 × 81.5 mm, making it considerably smaller than Framework’s 4.5‑liter machine. Key specs include:
- Processor: Reaches 5.1 GHz
- Graphics: Radeon 8065S operating at frequencies up to 3.0 GHz
- Storage: Two PCIe 4.0 NVMe slots supporting RAID 0 or RAID 1
- Peripheral connectivity: OCuLink using PCIe 4.0 x4 for external GPUs and high‑speed peripherals
- Ports: Two USB4 Type‑C ports with transfer rates up to 40 Gbps
- Networking: Wi‑Fi 7 and dual 2.5 GbE
The F9A can run DeepSeek V4 Flash locally, which contains 284B parameters. As of the time of writing, no brand has published final retail pricing; given the premium nature of the hardware, prices above $2,000 would not be surprising.
Conclusion
These ultra‑expensive "supercomputers" represent a new wave of mini PCs pushing memory far beyond ordinary systems. With local AI support for models ranging from 300B to 284B parameters, the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 and its implementations from Acemagic, GMKtec, and Framework demonstrate AMD's continued leadership in AI‑centric silicon. However, the lack of official pricing means consumers should expect premium costs for these specialized machines.
