AMD ENGINEER'S PALM-SIZED MINI PC RUNS 235B MODELS FOR $9/MONTH AND KILLS A $200/MONTH CLAUDE CODE AND OPENAI SUB
at CES 2026 in las vegas, AMD CEO lisa su walked on stage with a small black box behind her, not a server, not a data center render, a mini PC the size of a hardcover book
a few months later in shanghai she walked up to that same device and signed it with her name, the box is the gmktec EVO-X2, $1,700 once, AMD ryzen AI max+ 395 inside
the chip is the first x86 silicon ever built that runs a 200 billion parameter model on one piece of hardware, 128GB unified memory, 110GB usable VRAM on linux, no separate graphics card
it runs qwen 3 235B fully and smoothly, kills a $440/month stack of claude code, chatgpt, gemini and cursor for $9 a month in electricity, no per token fees, nothing ever leaves the machine
