Intel Core Ultra Series 3 Panther Lake-H CPU powers TGS-2000 series stackable Edge AI computers

Vecow TGS 2000 Series Panther Lake Edge AI computers

At CES 2026, Intel unveiled the Core Ultra Series 3 processors, codenamed Panther Lake-H, built on the Intel 18A (1.8-nanometer class) process, and targeting both consumer and industrial applications. Vecow introduced one of the first industrial Panther Lake-H platforms with the TGS-2000 series, a new family of ultra-compact, stackable Edge AI computers designed for high-performance space-constrained applications and based on either the 16-core Intel Core Ultra 9 386H or 12-core Intel Core Ultra 5 336H SoC. This new 2000 series is an upgrade of the previous TGS-1000 series, which was launched in 2024 with Intel Meteor Lake processors. While the overall design stays mostly the same, the transition to Core Ultra Series 3 enhances AI performance, reaching up to 100 TOPS combined performance with the selected SKUs (note: the top-end Panther Lake-H CPU can deliver up to 180 TOPS). The TGS-2000 Series is available in three variants, including the fanless […]

Snapdragon X2 Plus 6-core and 10-core processors target low-power Windows Copilot+ PCs

Snapdragon X2 Plus

After announcing the high-end Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme and X2 Elite processors last year, Qualcomm has now introduced the mid-range Snapdragon X2 Plus platform at CES 2026. While the Elite SKUs target premium laptops, the X2 Plus series is designed for affordable, mainstream Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs. The new lineup includes the X2P-64-100 (10-core) and the X2P-42-100 (6-core), both manufactured on a 3nm process. What’s interesting is that they share the same 80 TOPS AI accelerator, 9523 MT/s LPDDR5x memory support, Snapdragon X75 5G modem, and FastConnect 7800 WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 as the flagship Elite models. This means that the X2 Plus reduces CPU core counts and GPU frequencies to maximize battery life for thin-and-light Windows 11 Copilot+ laptops, but it does not compromise on I/O, media capabilities, or AI performance, as it features the same USB4, PCIe Gen5, and AV1 video support as the top-tier models. Snapdragon […]

VEGA AS2161 “DHRUV64” – A 1GHz dual-core 64-bit RISC-V microprocessor designed in India

VEGA AS2161 block diagram

The Government of India has been investing to spur up its semiconductor design and manufacturing industry at least since 2018/2019 with the SHAKTI and AJIT microprocessors. In 2022, they decided to focus on the RISC-V architecture with the VEGA processor family, starting with the THEJAS32 (VEGA ET1031) and THEJAS64 (VEGA AS1061) microprocessors, and the former was eventually found in the ARIES v3.0 Arduino UNO-inspired development board. Things continue to progress nicely, albeit slowly, and the government has now announced the launch of the DHRUV64 (VEGA AS2161) dual-core 64-bit RISC-V MPU clocked at 1 GHz and supporting Linux, which it describes as “a fully indigenous microprocessor developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) under the Microprocessor Development Programme (MDP)”.
