- GMKtec EVO-T2 will be the first mini-PC with Intel Panther Lake CPU
- System delivers up to 180 TOPS of AI computing performance
- Memory support reaches 128 GB of LPDDR5X running at high speeds
GMKtec has confirmed its successor to the EVO-T1, the EVO-T2, at Intel’s 2025 Industrial Ecology and Technology Innovation Conference, making the mini PC the first to use Intel’s Panther Lake platform.
The company says the system will feature a “Panther Lake H 12Xe3” processor, marketed under the Core Ultra 300H series, a high-end mobile processor with a configurable TDP of up to 80W and includes 12 Xe3 GPU cores, likely matching the Arc B390-class iGPU seen elsewhere in Panther Lake laptops.
This is paired with up to 128GB of LPDDR5X RAM running at 10,677 MT/s and two SSD slots capable of holding a combined 16TB of storage.
Performance and AI capabilities
GMKtec claims that the EVO-T2 will deliver up to 180 TOPS of AI computing performance and should come preloaded with Intel’s AI PC software stack, indicating a clear focus on AI tools and workloads.
Externally, the EVO-T2 maintains a similar aesthetic to the EVO-T1 with a front panel that includes three USB-A ports, one USB-C port, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
The storage configuration consists of one PCIe 5.0 drive bay and one PCIe 4.0 bay.
Compared to the EVO-T1, which shipped with the Core Ultra 9 285H, 64GB of DDR5 RAM, and three M.2 slots, the EVO-T2 represents a notable hardware upgrade.
The newer processor supports higher TDP performance, more memory, and improved AI capabilities.
Previous models impressed with their efficient cooling and well-thought-out design, and GMKtec looks to continue that trend as it moves toward Intel’s next-generation architecture.
The EVO-T2’s performance and AI features suggest potential workloads that demand high efficiency, making it a viable option for enterprise laptops and mobile workstations.
Users should consider both hardware capabilities and real-world application requirements when deploying this mini PC in personal or professional environments.
Full rear I/O specifications and pricing have yet to be released, but GMKtec has confirmed a planned launch in the first quarter of 2026.
While the specs are impressive, actual performance and efficiency will depend on final optimizations and testing, especially for AI-heavy tasks.
