Overview
- Two vendors, which listed their systems on Monday, September 28, 2026, put Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 mini workstations up for sale to customers rather than just showing demos at trade shows.
- Both machines use AMD’s Zen 5‑based Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 SoC with 16 cores and 32 threads, advertise roughly 131 AI TOPS and RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics, and ship with 192 GB of unified LPDDR5X memory with up to 160 GB allocable as VRAM.
- ACEMAGIC is selling the compact F9A in a 192 GB/2 TB configuration for $6,499 and emphasizes portability and an Oculink port for external GPU support.
- GMKtec’s EVO‑X5 Pro is listed at $6,599 for 192 GB/2 TB and $6,899 for 192 GB/4 TB, and it prioritizes internal expandability with three M.2 slots, USB4/USB4 v2 ports, dual 10 GbE and claims software optimizations that can run 320‑billion‑parameter models locally.
- The launches underscore a push for on‑device AI to cut latency and limit cloud exposure, but independent benchmarks and real‑world testing of memory formats, software optimizations and true model sizes will be needed before buyers can verify vendor performance claims.
