Notes
The 0.7 L Panther Lake NUC with two Thunderbolt 4 ports and dual 2.5 GbE, but only the LPDDR5X versions give the full Arc B390 and 64 GB on package. In Austria only 32 GB versions of the X9/X7 LPDDR5X models were found, and no hands-on review with power, noise or LLM numbers exists yet.
Memory speed: ASUS tech spec lists soldered LPDDR5x-8533 in 32 GB and 64 GB, while heise and TechRadar say up to 96 GB LPDDR5X-9600 on the top two models (bw uses 8533; 9600 would be 153.6 GB/s). Max memory: 96 GB soldered (heise, TechRadar) vs 64 GB soldered options (ASUS spec page, Singapore retailer) vs 128 GB DDR5 on the SO-DIMM models (Notebookcheck, Liliputing, ASUS). Geizhals AT lists X9 388H and X9 378H variants at 32 GB only. Weight 0.70 kg (GDK-B) vs 0.75 kg (GDK) for LPDDR builds. GPU memory uses the 57% share Intel documents; press figures for higher shares are in the GPU memory note.
