2026 verdict
Same AMD family, different mini PC tier.
Geekom A8 Max (Ryzen 9) steps up from the Ryzen 5 in GMKtec NucBox M6 Ultra (32GB + 1TB) to a Ryzen 9 8945HS with Radeon 780M graphics, and backs that with faster DDR5 at 5600 MT/s, double the storage at 2TB, a higher owner rating and a three-year warranty against one year. GMKtec NucBox M6 Ultra (32GB + 1TB) holds its ground only on price, costing noticeably less than the Ryzen 9 machine. Both ship the same 32GB of dual-channel DDR5 and the same dual 2.5G Ethernet, but Geekom A8 Max (Ryzen 9) adds a second USB4 port, an SD card reader and a Kensington lock. Choose GMKtec NucBox M6 Ultra (32GB + 1TB) if price is what matters most; choose Geekom A8 Max (Ryzen 9) for a genuinely stronger processor, GPU and storage.
