Looks like Intel Panther Lake can support an insanely fast LPDDR5X memory, which is higher than what the official spec document states.

OEMs have already started showcasing the early samples of their devices based on Intel's Panther Lake chips. GMKtech, which is a Chinese OEM, has showcased its latest offering in its mini PC lineup that will bring one of the high-end Panther Lake SKUs, but what's more surprising is the memory configuration, which seems to be even more impressive than what Intel disclosed.

The official Intel slide confirmed that the Panther Lake chips will support up to 9600 MT/s LPDDR5X, but the spec card for the EVO-T2 mini PC shows up to 10,677 MT/s, and that too at a 128 GB memory capacity. This appears amazing, but it will still be limited by a 128-bit memory bus width, which will only offer 170 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher memory bandwidth helps in better iGPU performance, superior performance in AI workloads, and is overall better for handling simultaneous data.

That said, the GMKtech EVO-T2 should utilize any of the higher-end Core Ultra X9/X7 SKUs, as it will have its iGPU boasting 12 Xe3 GPU cores. The TDP rating is up to 80 W, and the system can deliver up to 180 AI TOPS of performance, making it much superior in AI workloads than the current-gen Core Ultra Series 2 processors. The EVO-T2 will also boast a dedicated PCIe 5.0 M.2 interface and a PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot as well.

For storage, it will offer support of up to 16 TB, and its connectivity includes a few USB Type A and a Type C port at the front. No information is available on the rear I/O ports, but expect modern connectivity there as well. The GMKtech EVO-T2 is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2026, and if you are following developments on the Panther Lake, you might be aware that the CPU series will launch officially on January 5, 2026.
