Shuttle launches two XPC nano mini PCs with Intel Meteor Lake processors

Earlier this year small form-factor PC maker Shuttle introduced the first member of the XPC nano series to feature an integrated NPU for hardware-accelerated AI features. Now the company is expanding the lineup with two new models.

What's a little confusing is that the Shuttle XPC nano NA10H7 that was unveiled in February features and AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS Hawk Point processor, while the new Shuttle XPC Nano NT10H5 and NT10H9 are powered by Intel Core Ultra 5 125H and Core Ultra 9 185H Meteor Lake chips, respectively.

From the outside all three computers look nearly identical. They all measure 143 x 132 x 55mm (5.63″ x 5.2″ x 2.17″) and have a set of ports that includes:

2 x USB4 (40 Gbps with DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode)

5 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (10 Gbps)

1 x USB 2.0 Type-A (480 Mbps)

2 x HDMI 2.0

2 x 2.5 Gbit Ethernet

1 x SD card reader

1 x DC power input

And under the hood all of the mini PCs have two SODIMM slots with support for DDR5 memory, a single M.2 2280 slot for PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage and an M.2 2230 slot for a wireless card.

The only significant difference between the systems are the processor options:

CPU cores CPU Threads CPU base / max frequency GPU NPU TDP Intel Core Ultra 9 185H 6 Performance + 8 Efficiency + 2 Low Power Efficiency 22 2.3 GHz / 5.1 GHz Intel Arc (8 x Xe cores @ 2.35 GHz) Intel AI Boost (11 TOPS) 45W AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS 8 x Zen 4 16 3.8 GHz / 5.1 GHz Radeon 780M (12 x RDNA 3 GPU cores @ 2.7 GHz) Ryzen AI (16 TOPS) 45W Intel Core Ultra 5 125H 4 Performance + 8 Efficiency + 2 Low Power Efficiency 18 1.2 GHz / 4.5 GHz Intel Arc (7 x Xe cores @ 2.2 GHz) Intel AI Boost (11 TOPS) 28W

It's a bit funny to see Shuttle positioning these computers as AI PCs in 2025. While AMD's Hawk Point chips and Intel Meteor Lake processors were among the first mobile chips from those companies to offer integrated neural processing units for hardware-accelerated AI features, both fall far short of the 40+ TOPS of performance that Microsoft sets as the minimum system requirement for its Copilot+ PC branding.

If you want a system that meets or exceeds that requirement then you're going to want to look for a PC with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X, AMD Ryzen AI 300 series, or Intel Lunar Lake processor or newer.
