Introducing the new GMKtec K16 mini PC, a machine that offers an interesting processor and a good number of ports despite its size.
Inside the GMKtec K16, we find an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS eight-core, sixteen-thread processor soldered onto the motherboard, reaching up to 4.75 GHz. On the graphics side, we have the Radeon 680M GPU, which runs at up to 2.2 GHz, with RDNA2 architecture that will benefit from the 6400 MT/s DDR5 memory it is equipped with, as we saw in our comparison of RAM in integrated GPUs. We can also connect a high-performance eGPU thanks to its USB4 connectors and OCuLink connector.
You can get an idea of the performance in the review of similar hardware. Inside, there is an active ventilation system that allows you to easily control temperatures thanks to its numerous ventilation slots.
