Intel is poised to launch its next-generation Panther Lake processors by the year's end, aiming squarely at the mainstream laptop market. These processors also find widespread use in industrial and embedded applications. Recently, Adlink has showcased an industrial-grade motherboard dubbed "VNX+" featuring the Panther Lake processor. This motherboard stands out for its remarkable compactness, roughly the dimensions of a standard card. The Panther Lake processor, clearly visible on the motherboard, is strategically divided into distinct modules.

The VNX+ motherboard comes in two specifications: H404 and H484. The H404 variant boasts 4 P-cores and 4 Xe3 GPU cores, while the H484 ups the ante with 4 P-cores, 8 E-cores, and 4 Xe3 GPU cores. Both models offer robust memory and storage options, including 16/32GB LPDDR5-8533 memory and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. Connectivity-wise, they provide PCIe 4.0 x4 data channels and PCIe 5.0 x8 expansion channels, ensuring high-speed data transfer and expansion capabilities. Notably, the operating temperature range spans from -40°C to 85°C, demonstrating its resilience across varied environmental conditions.
