Khadas has expanded its high-performance computing offerings with a new eGPU variant, building on the earlier announcement of the RTX 5060 Ti dock. The updated Mind Graphics 2 Pro will now support NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER, marking a significant upgrade in graphical capabilities while maintaining compatibility with the existing Panther Lake mini PC ecosystem.
This new configuration follows the initial reveal of the RTX 5060 Ti eGPU, which introduced Khadas’ proprietary Mind Link technology for PCIe 4.0 x 8 performance. The RTX 5080 SUPER variant is expected to deliver substantially higher rasterization and ray-tracing performance, targeting professional workloads such as 3D rendering and high-end gaming when paired with the Core Ultra X9 388H processor.
While the original Mind Graphics 2 eGPU utilized GDDR6 memory, industry sources suggest Khadas is exploring DDR6 support for future Panther Lake mini PC iterations. This would represent a first for the company’s compact form factor, aligning with broader industry trends toward higher memory bandwidth in mobile and embedded systems.
The RTX 5080 SUPER eGPU is also expected to retain the dual Thunderbolt 4 ports seen in previous models, ensuring compatibility with external displays and high-speed peripherals. However, exact specifications for memory capacity and cooling solutions remain under wraps, with Khadas focusing on a Q1 2026 launch timeline.
This development comes as Khadas continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in mini PC form factors. The company’s earlier introduction of the RTX 5060 Ti eGPU demonstrated its ability to integrate discrete GPUs without sacrificing portability, and the RTX 5080 SUPER variant builds on that foundation with more advanced graphical capabilities.
Looking ahead, Khadas has hinted at further innovations in the space, including potential support for NVIDIA’s upcoming RTX 5090 GPU. While no official confirmation has been made, industry observers note that such a move would position Khadas as a leader in high-performance mobile computing solutions.
The company’s focus on modularity and future-proofing remains a key differentiator. The Panther Lake-based mini PCs support upgrades to 64 GB of LPDDR5X memory and 2 TB NVMe storage, while the new eGPU configurations suggest a path toward even higher performance without sacrificing compactness.
With CES 2026 serving as the stage for these announcements, Khadas is reinforcing its position in the market for high-performance, portable computing. The combination of Intel’s latest Core Ultra processors and NVIDIA’s advanced RTX GPUs sets a new benchmark for what can be achieved in a device measuring just 0.46 liters.
