The ACEMAGIC X3 mini gaming PC is listed at $575.00 on Amazon at the time of writing, down from a $638.99 list price. The 10% cut is real, but it does not make this the cheapest route to the hardware inside.
The X3 pairs an AMD Ryzen 7 H 255 with Radeon 780M integrated graphics, 16GB of soldered memory and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. A rival mini PC with the identical 780M graphics sells for $559 direct from its maker, with upgradeable memory and a longer warranty.
What the $575 price actually is
Amazon's listing shows a current price of $575.00 for the ACEMAGIC X3 against a $638.99 list price. The gap is $63.99, which is exactly the 10% the listing advertises.
The page names the seller as ACEMAGIC-PC, shipping from Amazon. That is the brand running its own storefront, not an unrelated reseller.
Acemagic does not sell the X3 through acemagic.com. Its mini PC collection, its on-site search and its sitemap return no X3 page, only the Retro X5.
So there is no manufacturer price to measure the Amazon figure against. Amazon is effectively the only US channel for this configuration.
Neither company publishes price history for the listing. Where $575.00 sits against past prices is not published.
ACEMAGIC X3 specifications
AMD's spec page for the Ryzen 7 H 255 places it in the Ryzen 200 series, built on Zen 4 and a TSMC 4nm process. It lists 8 cores, 16 threads, a 3.8 GHz base clock and a 4.9 GHz boost.
| Specification | ACEMAGIC X3 |
|---|---|
| Processor | AMD Ryzen 7 H 255, 8 cores / 16 threads |
| TDP | 45W default, 35-54W configurable |
| Graphics | AMD Radeon 780M, 12 GPU cores, 2600 MHz |
| Memory | 16GB LPDDR5 6400MT/s, soldered |
| Storage | 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD, expandable to 4TB |
| Displays | DP2.0, HDMI 2.1, USB4 Type-C, three independent outputs |
| Operating system | Windows 11 Pro |
The 54W headline in Acemagic's marketing is the top of AMD's published 35W to 54W configurable TDP band. The default is 45W.
Acemagic sells that as "54W Unlocked Performance". AMD's spec sheet marks the unlocked-for-overclocking field for this SKU as No.
The phrase describes running the chip at the top of its normal power range. It does not mean the silicon is open to overclocking.
The processor is an odd fit for a US listing. AMD gives its base availability region as China, and the only product page is the Chinese-locale one.
Memory is the firmest limit. The listing states that the 16GB LPDDR5 is soldered with no upgradeable slots, and Amazon's structured field caps memory at 16 GB.
Two specs the listing cannot agree on
AMD credits the processor with DisplayPort 2.1 support. Acemagic's Amazon listing markets the X3's physical port as DisplayPort 2.0.
The chip supports the newer standard, but the shipped board is advertised at the older one. DP2.0 applies here.
The second conflict sits inside a single page. The bullet text says LPDDR5, while Amazon's structured spec table for the same listing reports DDR5.
Amazon's category taxonomy has no LPDDR5 option, the likeliest explanation. Still, the listing is not internally consistent about its own memory.
How the X3 compares with other mini PCs
GEEKOM's AX8 Max is the machine worth weighing this against. It uses the same Radeon 780M graphics, paired with a Ryzen 7 8745HS.
On Amazon it is $639.00 with no listed discount. On GEEKOM's own site the same 16GB and 1TB configuration is $559 with code GKAN100, against a $659 list price.
That is $16 below the X3's discounted price. GEEKOM also lists DDR5 SODIMM memory upgradeable to 64 GB and a three-year warranty, against the X3's two years.
| Mini PC | Graphics | Memory | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACEMAGIC X3 (Ryzen 7 H 255) | Radeon 780M | 16GB LPDDR5, soldered | $575.00 on Amazon, list $638.99 |
| GEEKOM AX8 Max (Ryzen 7 8745HS) | Radeon 780M | 16GB DDR5 SODIMM, to 64 GB | $639.00 on Amazon, $559 direct with code |
| GEEKOM A5 (Ryzen 5 7430U) | Radeon Vega 7 | 16GB, to 64 GB | $479.00 on Amazon, $419 direct with code |
| GMKtec EVO-X3 (Ryzen AI Max+ 395) | Radeon 8060S | 128GB LPDDR5X | $3,799.99 on Amazon |
A cheaper step down is the GEEKOM A5 at $479.00, or $419 on GEEKOM's site with code A5AN10. Digital Citizen has tracked earlier cuts in the same GEEKOM range.
At the other extreme sits the GMKtec EVO-X3 at $3,799.99, a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 workstation in a different class. Digital Citizen covered its own Amazon price cut this month.
GMKtec's store lists the EVO-X3 against a $4,100.00 list price, while Amazon shows $5,499.99. Acemagic sells other compact machines, such as the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 powered F9A, but not the X3.
What the listing leaves out
Acemagic does not state the wattage of the bundled power adapter anywhere checked. Amazon's power consumption field reads 54 watts, but that is the processor's top TDP, not an adapter rating.
Storage is listed as expandable to 4TB behind a tool-free cover, but Acemagic never says whether that means a second M.2 slot or a drive swap. Amazon's spec field also claims 12 expansion slots, which nothing corroborates.
Warranty terms beyond the two-year bullet are not published on acemagic.com. Claims about beating a Ryzen 7 6800H or Intel Iris Xe have been reported without a cited benchmark.
Prices move, the $575.00 figure was checked on September 22, 2026, and the listing gives no end date for the discount.
