Available the new GMKtec NucBox M5 Ultra mini PC, a small-sized machine featuring the unusual low-power AMD Ryzen 7 7730U processor.
This mini PC is the little brother of the recent GMKtec NucBox M6 Ultra, in this case it has a more powerful processor in computation but less interesting in the graphics section. Inside this small computer we find the new AMD Ryzen 7 7730U processor that gives us enough power to use any demanding program. In the graphics section we have a Radeon Graphics Vega 8 GPU that allows us to run some games up to a certain level, but it is far from the most current RDNA 2/3 GPUs.
In this box we have good connectivity options, which highlights the Wifi 6E adapter and dual Ethernet 2.5G connector. It is also worth mentioning the possibility of RAM and storage expansion.
