CES 2026: Intel Panther Lake-H Powers Vecow TGS-2000 Stackable Edge AI PCs

Vecow TGS-2000 series Panther Lake-H based Stackable Edge AI PCs

At CES 2026, Vecow released the TGS-2000 series of ultra-compact, stackable Edge AI PCs based on the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake-H” processors, which is a direct upgrade of the Meteor Lake-powered TGS-1000 Series. The platform targets edge inference, smart infrastructure, and automation workloads, and comes in fanless and actively cooled variants, with an optional MXM GPU model for heavier graphics and AI acceleration.

The TGS-2000 series comes in two SQUs with a 16-core Intel Core Ultra 9 386H or 12-core Core Ultra 5 336H SoCs, both are built around Intel’s 18A(1.8nm) process and combine Xe3 Arc GPU, and Intel AI Boost NPU for up to 100 TOPS of AI performance (with Panther Lake-H capable of up to 180 TOPS at the platform level). Key features include up to 128GB DDR5-6400 memory, PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage, triple-display support (HDMI 2.1 and USB-C DP), dual 2.5GbE networking, rich USB I/O, and multiple M.2 expansion options for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G/5G, and storage. The stackable design supports modular I/O expansion (GPIO, isolated DIO, serial, USB, LAN, and cellular), while the industrial-grade design adds wide operating temperatures, shock/vibration compliance, watchdog, and hardware monitoring.
