Shuttle intros new mini PCs with up to 24-core desktop CPUs and 96 GB DDR5 RAM

Shuttle is a pretty well-known brand when it comes to mini PCs that are mainly targeted at industrial and hobbyist use. The brand has now unveiled two more well-equipped entrants to its lineup of mini PCs, dubbed the XPC Slim XH860G2 and the XH810. Unlike most other mini PCs, these systems utilize desktop-class socketed processors.

Shuttle XH810, XH860G2: Mini PCs with up to 24-core 65-watt CPUs

To be precise, both the XH860G2 and the XH810 can be equipped with Intel's Core Ultra 200S CPUs, albeit only those with a TDP of 65 watts. Therefore, the system is not designed to handle high-end chips like the Core Ultra 9 285K (currently $557 on Amazon), but more modest offerings such as the Core Ultra 9 285, Core Ultra 5 245, etc. The mini PC lineup can be equipped with up to 96 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM.

Storage, on the other hand, will depend on the variant. The larger XPC Slim XH860G2 mini PC sports triple M.2 2280 slots (PCIe 5.0 x4, 4.0 x4, 4.0 x4) as well a as 2.5-inch drive bay, while the smaller 3.5-liter XPC Slim XH810 will feature dual M.2 2280 slots (PCIe 4.0 x4, 4.0 x2), and dual 2.5-inch or a single 3.5-inch drive bay. The I/O on offering is pretty good, packing the following ports:

• USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C
• Four USB 2.0 Type-A, dual USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
• 2.5G, 1G Ethernet
• HDMI 2.1 HDMi 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a
• Triple COM ports (Only on the XH810)
• Audio in, audio out

There is quite a lot of room for internal expansion as well. The chunky 4.7-liter XH860G2 mini PC features support for PCIe cards through its PCIe 5.0 x16 and PCIe 4.0 x1 slots, the latter of which is possible through a riser. Wireless connectivity can also be added, courtesy of optional WiFi 6, Bluetooth, and 4G/5G modules.

As is typical with industrial mini PCs, pricing details have not been disclosed publicly. Customers interested in purchasing can contact Shuttle directly to get a quote, which is likely to depend on order volume.
