Partaker A26 AI edge system i5-8250U 8GB 128GB 12.1 resistive

Industrial panel PC with resistive touch

The Partaker A26 is a 12.1 inch all-in-one system built around an Intel Core i5-8250U processor with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a 128GB mSATA drive. It ships with Windows 10 Pro on a fanless aluminum chassis rated IP65 at the front. This configuration targets machine interfaces, SCADA nodes and edge inference tasks that need a sealed, silent platform.

Sustained load on the i5-8250U

The quad-core CPU reaches 3.40 GHz in short bursts, but the fanless design relies on the entire aluminum case as a heatsink. Under continuous industrial workloads the processor will throttle to stay within thermal limits, so compute-heavy tasks run at a lower steady clock rather than the peak turbo frequency. The 8GB of installed DDR4 handles typical HMI and lightweight AI inference; the board accepts up to 32GB if the application demands more headroom.

Practical limits of the I/O standard

Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports and four USB sockets provide standard plant-floor connectivity, while two configurable RS232/485 COM ports link legacy PLCs and sensors. The single HDMI output supports a second display alongside the built-in 1024x768 panel. Expansion is restricted to two Mini PCIe slots — one wired for Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G with a SIM holder — and an optional GPIO or extra COM header that is not populated by default.
