Description
Today we are testing an unreleased Panther Lake Mini PC powered by Intel's flagship Core Ultra X9 388H and the Intel Arc B390 iGPU! Unlike standard Core Ultra X7 358H systems running slower memory, this tiny PC pairs the Arc B390 with ultra-fast 32GB 9600 MT/s LPDDR5x RAM and sustains up to 80W TDP.
Would you buy a Core Ultra X9 388H Mini PC, or want to see SteamOS tested on this with the new Linux XeSS XMX patch? Let me know in the comments!
We compare synthetic CPU, AI, and 3DMark benchmarks against the Core Ultra X7 358H (at 7345 MT/s and 8335 MT/s), then push real-world 1440p AAA gaming in Cyberpunk 2077 (with XeSS Multi-Frame Gen), Red Dead Redemption 2, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and Crimson Desert!
