personal tech Regular pricing starts at $6,799 - all that memory doesn't come cheap The first systems powered by AMD's Gorgon Halo system-on-chip (SoC) platform have arrived, boasting up to 192 GB of unified memory on board. That's enough to put DeepSeek V4 Flash on your desk if you can afford to pay a hefty premium for all that RAM. GMKtec's EVO-X5 Pro is among the first to feature the House of Zen's top-specced Ryzen AI Max+ 495 SoC - you can see why we're just going to call it Gorgon Halo from here on out - but with regular pricing starting at $6,799, all that memory doesn't come cheap. But for local AI enthusiasts and perhaps privacy-conscious small businesses, it might be worth it just to run larger, more capable models from the security of their homes and offices. At 4-bit precision, Gorgon Halo is equipped with enough memory to run models to around 345 billion parameters on Linux or 320 billion parameters on Windows. The difference here comes down to memory partitioning. On Windows, you'll need to allocate 160 GB of memory to the GPU, while the Linux kernel and AMD's GPU drivers enable users to take advantage of nearly all of the available memory. This puts high-profile frontier models like the 284 billion parameter DeepSeek V4 Flash or Z.AI's 320 billion parameter GLM-5.3-Flash within reach of Gorgon Halo customers.
