Maxsun Readies Panther Lake and Wildcat Lake MoDT NAS Motherboards for November

What happened

Maxsun has shared full specifications for the SK-PTLNAS and SK-WCLAIO, two NAS-focused MoDT (Mobile on Desktop) motherboards built around Intel's Panther Lake and Wildcat Lake chips. Both were first shown at Computex 2026 and are expected to launch in November, though pricing is still unknown. The SK-PTLNAS now tops out at the Core Ultra 9 386H (16 cores, four Xe3 GPU cores, 25 W base power, up to 80 W turbo power), supports up to 128 GB of DDR5-7200 across two SO-DIMM slots, five M.2 slots, three Mini SAS ports, a PCIe 5.0 x8 slot, 10GbE, 2.5GbE and two 1GbE ports, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and lists Windows 11 and Ubuntu support; the Core Ultra X9 388H option listed at Computex no longer seems to be on the table. The SK-WCLAIO measures just 90 x 165 mm, a big change from the mATX design shown in June, and runs the six-core Core 7 350 (2P + 4LPE) with two Xe3 cores, a single DDR5-6400 SO-DIMM slot for up to 48 GB, 1 TB of onboard UFS 3.1 storage and four M.2 slots; since Wildcat Lake has very few PCIe lanes, those drives probably won't each get full x4 bandwidth. Maxsun rates the system at 45 W when active and 16 W with drives on standby, and the power input is unclear for now, with the listing mentioning both a 12 V DC jack and USB-C PD.
