- GMKtec EVO-T2 will be the first mini-PC with an Intel Panther Lake processor
- The system delivers up to 180 TOPS of AI computing performance
- Memory support reaches 128 GB of LPDDR5X running at high speeds
GMKtec confirmed its successor to the EVO-T1, the EVO-T2, at the Intel Technology Innovation and Industrial Ecology Conference 2025, with the mini PC becoming the first to use the Intel Panther Lake platform.
The company says the system will feature a “Panther Lake H 12Xe3” processor, marketed as 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 in other Panther Lake laptop parts.
This is paired with up to 128GB of LPDDR5X RAM running at 10,677 MT/s and two SSD slots capable of holding a total of 16TB of storage.
Performance and AI capabilities
GMKtec claims that the EVO-T2 will deliver up to 180 TOPS of AI computing performance and is expected to 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 came with the Core Ultra 9 285H, 64GB of DDR5 RAM, and three M.2 slots, the EVO-T2 represents a notable hardware upgrade.
The newest processor supports higher TDP performance, more memory, and improved AI capabilities.
Previous models impressed with their efficient cooling and thoughtful design, and GMKtec appears to be continuing that trend while evolving 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 choice for professional laptops and mobile workstations.
Users should consider both hardware capabilities and actual application requirements when deploying this mini PC in personal or professional environments.
Full specifications and pricing for the rear I/O have yet to be released, but GMKtec has confirmed a launch planned for the first quarter of 2026.
While the specs are impressive, actual performance and efficiency will depend on final optimizations and testing, especially for AI-intensive tasks.
