A 180-TOPS AI performance claim from a mini PC basically narrows the chip down to Intel's Panther Lake lineup.

GMKtec's next AI mini PC teased
[LIST]
[*]GMKtec dropped a teaser on X for a second-gen desktop AI mini PC.
[*]Specs are still under wraps, but 180 TOPS got confirmed.
[*]Its chassis looks practically identical to the existing EVO T1.
[/LIST]
Why Panther Lake is the obvious bet
[LIST]
[*]Flagship Zen 5 mobile chips max out at 126 TOPS, falling way short.
[*]Panther Lake is the sole platform cracking 180 in combined AI throughput.
[*]Core Ultra X7 358H, X7 368H, and X9 388H all hit that ballpark.
[*]Arc B390 iGPU alone kicks in around 122 TOPS of that total.
[/LIST]
How the AI math breaks down
[LIST]
[*]NPU5 contributes roughly 50 TOPS to the overall figure.
[*]CPU-side processing tacks on about 9 more TOPS.
[*]Everything combined lands right around 180 to 181 TOPS.
[/LIST]
Current EVO T1 as a reference point
[LIST]
[*]GMKtec's EVO T1 rocks a Core Ultra 9 285H at 99 combined TOPS.
[*]RAM and storage configs on that model go up to 96 GB and 2 TB.
[*]Similar memory and storage options will likely carry over.
[/LIST]
Pricing and launch details are still missing
[LIST]
[*]GMKtec hasn't shared any release date or pricing yet.
[*]More details are supposedly dropping in the near future.
[*]Multiple SKU configs could show up at launch.
