# Dual-Fan Mini PCs GMKtec's EVO-T1 Achieves a Stable 90W TDP with Compact Build By Colin Smith | Published 2025-07-09 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gmktec-evo-t1 References: [gmktec](https://www.gmktec.com/pages/evo-t1-coming-soon?spm=..index.header_1.1&spm_prev=..index.0.1)  The [GMKtec](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gmktec-evo-x2) EVO-T1 mini PC is powered by an [Intel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gt1-mega-mini-pc) Core Ultra 9 285H processor, offering 16 cores (eight Performance-cores and 16 Efficient-cores) and 24 threads with boost clocks up to 5.1 GHz and a 90 W TDP. Integrated compute includes an Intel Arc 140T GPU and an NPU delivering up to 99 TOPS for INT8 AI workloads, including 13 TOPS dedicated to on-chip inference. The chassis employs a dual-fan cooling system and provides extensive I/O with two USB4 ports, four USB-A ports, an OCuLink port, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports for high-speed networking. Onboard LPDDR5-5600 memory is fixed at 64 GB, and storage expands via three [M.2 2280](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minisforum-m1) PCIe 4.0 ×4 slots (one pre-installed 1 TB SSD plus two additional bays supporting up to 8 TB each). The EVO-T1 can drive up to four 4K displays simultaneously and ships with Windows 11 Pro, while also supporting major x86-compatible operating systems. Initially launched in China on July 14, 2025 at 5,699 CNY (approximately USD 834), with a global roll-out planned for the same month, the EVO-T1 targets AI developers, content creators, and professionals seeking a compact workstation capable of sustained high-performance and local AI inference.
