Two Intel Panther Lake mini-PCs manufactured by Acemagic are on the horizon. Delivering up to a 120 W TDP with OCuLink expansion, one closely resembles the design of Apple's Mac Studio, too.

It's hard to take nbc seriously until they finally start talking about memory speed alongside other key metrics. Even the four year old Mac Studio will have 3 to six times faster memory transfers. This makes a huge difference in many applications. Imagine if the competition to Panther Lake had 15ghz - 30ghz CPU clock speeds? It's like that, but nbc is ignoring it because the PC industry so far has no answer and it would make for depressing reporting.
