"I bought the EVO-X1 from GMKtec. Featuring the hybrid chip, the Ryzen AI 9 HX370. In what I am considering the precursor to the 395. The chip I actually want to replace both mini PCs. I grabbed the EVO-X1 on discount through Amazon, I consider it a birthday present to myself.

It runs Tomb Raider 2014 at 1440p@60 on Ultra using only 54W in my initial testing, although I am certain it's just drawing more power for the turbo clock. I believe it could do it at a lower TDP. What's more interesting about this chip, is that is performs very similarly to my previous daily driver, the 6900HX. But at around two thirds of the wattage. The 6900HX drew about 45W under a full load. The HX370 can perform about the same at 28W, that chip has a huge configurable range. 15W-54W. And in this specific Mini PC, the EVO-X1, while drawing a full load. It never went over 70°C, and it's SUPER quiet for what's going on. I would highly recommend it on discount for enthusiasts. But it's still not a product I'd recommend to the average person. The lower TDP range makes it an ideal chip for handhelds as well. I expect to see a lot of this chip, albeit in a niche market.

It also has an OCulink port, in case eGPUs actually make a real attempt. I'm not convinced."
