Gigabyte’s new Brix pairs Panther Lake with Wi-Fi 7 and USB4
Gigabyte has added a new Brix mini PC to its website based on Intel’s Panther Lake platform . The system appears under model number GB-BRU9-386H, and the product page lists Intel Core Ultra 9 386H , a slim 112.6 x 34.4 x 119.4 mm chassis, and barebone status with no operating system included.
The memory configuration is one of the more interesting parts. Gigabyte lists two SO-DIMM DDR5 slots with support for up to 96GB at 5600 MT/s, or two CSO-DIMM DDR5 slots with support for up to 128GB at 6400 MT/s . Storage support includes two M.2 2280 slots, one wired for PCIe 5.0 x4 and the other for PCIe 4.0 x4.

Gigabyte lists two USB4 ports, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port for power delivery input, one USB 2.0 port, dual HDMI 2.1, 2.5GbE LAN, a headset jack, and Wi-Fi 7. The company also says the mini PC can drive four displays through two HDMI outputs and two USB4 Type-C ports with DisplayPort Alt Mode.

The Core Ultra 9 386H itself is a 16-core Panther Lake part with 4 Performance cores, 8 Efficient cores, and 4 Low Power Efficient cores. Intel lists the chip with up to 4.9 GHz boost, support for up to 128GB of memory, a 50 TOPS NPU, and integrated Intel Graphics with four Xe-cores running at up to 2.5 GHz. That means this Brix uses the smaller integrated graphics configuration rather than one of the larger Panther Lake variants with Arc B390 branding.
Gigabyte has not published pricing or an availability date yet. The product page does list Windows 11 64-bit and Ubuntu 25.10 support, alongside a 140W USB-C power adapter. Based on the published specifications, this Brix looks aimed more at compact workstation and edge AI use than gaming, with the focus placed on memory capacity, dual M.2 storage, and modern I/O.
