GMKtec Launches NucBox K17 Mini PC with Intel Core Ultra 5 226V

GMKtec has launched the NucBox K17, a compact mini PC featuring an Intel Core Ultra 5 226V processor, a Lunar Lake chip built on TSMC 3 nm process with 8 cores, a 2.1 GHz base clock, and up to 4.5 GHz boost on the performance cores. Total AI compute comes in at 97 TOPS across the CPU, Arc 130V iGPU, and dedicated NPU, with the NPU alone rated at 40 TOPS. The Intel Arc 130V handles graphics, clocking up to 1.85 GHz and supporting ray tracing and XeSS upscaling. Triple display output is available via two HDMI ports and a USB4 port, with support for resolutions up to 8K. That same USB4 port runs at 40 Gbps and supports eGPU connectivity, Power Delivery, and display output simultaneously.

For memory, it features 16 GB of LPDDR5X at 8533 MT/s, soldered and non-upgradeable. Storage ships as a PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 SSD in 512 GB, 1 TB, or 2 TB, and there’s a second M.2 slot that accepts a PCIe Gen 5 x4 drive for a total expandable storage of 16 TB across both slots. Note that SATA SSDs are not supported. Networking covers Wi-Fi 6E at up to 2.4 Gbps, Bluetooth 5.2, and a 2.5G Ethernet port via an Intel i226-V controller. The Mini PC measures 127.5 x 127 x 44.5 mm, weighs around 460 g, and is powered by a 100 W adapter.

The 16 GB RAM + 512 GB config is $559.99 / £469.99, and the 16 GB + 1 TB version is $619.99 / £519.99. GMKtec is also offering a launch discount of $ 15/£15 off with the code GMKK1715. The NucBox K17 is available now on the global GMKtec website and the UK-based website.
