GMKtec has previewed the EVO-T2, its next compact mini-PC and the first system the company has shown built around Intel's upcoming Panther Lake platform. The system was shown at Intel's 2025 Technology Innovation and Industry Ecology Conference in China and is planned for release in early 2026. The EVO-T2 is based on the "Panther Lake H 12Xe3" mobile processor, which GMKtec lists as an Intel 18A part with a configurable TDP of up to 80 W. The chip carries 12 Xe3 GPU cores, likely the same Arc B390-class iGPU used in other high-end Panther Lake laptop parts and is rated for up to 180 TOPS of combined AI compute. GMKtec also mentions that the system will ship with Intel's "AI PC" software stack preinstalled. Memory support goes up to 128 GB of LPDDR5X running at 10,677 MT/s. Storage is handled by two M.2 slots: one PCIe 5.0 and one PCIe 4.0, with a stated maximum of 16 TB across both drives.

Up front, the system includes three USB-A ports, one USB-C port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Full rear-I/O details and final pricing are still pending. The EVO-T2 follows the EVO-T1 launched earlier this year, which shipped with a Core Ultra 9 285H and multiple SSD options including OCuLink and USB4 for external GPUs. The T2 effectively replaces it as GMKtec's high-end Intel offering and moves the lineup into Intel's next-gen architecture. GMKtec says more information, including final specs and launch date will be announced in Q1 2026.
