In September 2024, Khadas made a mark at the IFA exhibition, bringing a lineup of exciting new products and flagship showcases. This year, we introduced the Mind Maker Kit—a development computer tailored for AI developers and creators—the new Khadas Mind 2, our latest developer-focused SBCs, and the next-generation magnetic headphone amplifier, Tea Pro.
Mind Maker Kit Series: A Creativity Tool for Developers and Makers
This year, we teamed up with Intel to present the Mind Maker Kit, a platform crafted specifically for developers and makers. Designed on Intel’s Lunar Lake platform, the Mind Maker Kit delivers enhanced AI processing capabilities and robust development tools. Whether you’re pushing the boundaries of AI, crafting software, or tinkering with hardware, this Kit is all about empowering your creative process. It’s loaded with powerful computing capabilities that handle complex tasks effortlessly, making it a dream setup for any developer.
What sets the Mind Maker Kit apart is its modularity. It doesn’t just stop at AI capabilities; it’s designed to adapt. Thanks to the unique Mind Link interface, developers can connect the Kit to various Mind Family accessories, tailoring the setup to meet the needs of any project or scenario.
Khadas Mind 2: A More Powerful AIPC
Meet the Khadas Mind 2, our latest addition to the Mind Family. Packed with the latest Intel Core Ultra processor on the Meteor Lake architecture, it pushes up to 4.8GHz turbo speeds and introduces a dedicated AI NPU for advanced edge computing. This device is built for expansion—the Mind Link interface has been upgraded to support up to 256GT/s transfer rates, ensuring your setup can keep up with future demands. And with Thunderbolt 4, you get enhanced peripheral support and high-speed data transfer.
But it’s not just about what’s inside. The Mind 2 continues our commitment to sleek, compact design without compromising performance. From faster boot and wake times to seamless storage expansion, this is a mini PC that adapts to your needs, whether you’re at home, at work, or on the go.
Mind Graphics: Enhanced Performance in a Compact Design
Also on display was our newly launched Mind Graphics external GPU dock, featuring a desktop-grade RTX 4060 Ti with up to 16GB of VRAM. Designed for creators, gamers, and professionals, it’s all about delivering high-performance 3D rendering and AI computing without the bulk.
Mind Graphics also offers extensive interface and multimedia expansion capabilities, plus a built-in 300W GaN power module to keep things compact and powerful. With a volume of just 2.7 liters, it stays true to Khadas’ minimalist aesthetic, and thanks to Thunderbolt 4/3 support, it’s not just for Mind users—laptop users can also tap into its GPU acceleration.
VIM and Edge Series: Developer-Customized SBCs
Our VIM and Edge series remain at the core of Khadas’ offerings for developers, bringing robust, customizable SBC solutions. VIM models like the VIM4 and VIM3 are perfect for AI and machine learning, while the Edge2 steps up as a high-performance ARM PC, supporting general computing, IoT, and embedded system development. At IFA, we showed how these developer-centric products continue to evolve, with each iteration better suited to meet the unique challenges of the tech world.
Khadas Tea Pro: Magnetic Portable Headphone Amplifier
Part of our Music lineup, the Tea Pro brings next-level audio experiences to the Khadas family. Building on the magnetic design of the original Tea, the Pro version comes with upgraded hardware, including flagship USB and Bluetooth decoding chips that deliver exceptional sound quality. It also features patented headphone impedance detection technology that fine-tunes audio settings to match your headphones, ensuring you always get the best listening experience.
The Tea Pro isn’t just about sound—it’s about style and control. With its AMOLED screen displaying key system information and enhanced integration with the Khadas Audio App, you can tweak EQ settings and filters to suit your audio tastes. The Tea Pro is set to launch in November, so stay tuned for more details!
From Boosting Creativity to Enhancing Digital Life
At IFA 2024, Khadas didn’t just bring hardware; we brought a vision. From productivity tools to premium audio gear, our goal remains the same: to elevate your digital experience. We’re driven by a commitment to innovation, user-centered design, and the relentless pursuit of smarter, more connected technology. As we look ahead, Khadas will continue to push boundaries, creating a more inspired, efficient, and connected future for all.
