Purpose-built firewall appliance

The Partaker 16G is a compact network security device built around an Intel Core i7-1255U processor with ten cores and twelve threads reaching 4.7 GHz Turbo. Six Intel I226-V 2.5GbE ports provide high-throughput wired connectivity for routing, VPN and intrusion-prevention workloads. The fan-cooled aluminium chassis operates silently in rack, desktop or industrial DIN-rail settings. It targets administrators who need x86 performance in a 15 W envelope.

Memory and storage headroom

Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 3200 MT/s memory are installed in two SODIMM slots, leaving headroom to reach the 64 GB maximum. A 128 GB M.2 2280 NVMe drive handles the operating system and logs, while an empty 2.5-inch SATA bay and a second M.2 slot accept additional capacity. The platform runs OPNsense, pfSense or similar distributions comfortably until sustained multi-gigabit inspection with deep-packet analysis fills the CPU or RAM ceiling.

Integration and expansion

Dual video outputs (HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4a) drive 4K@60 Hz consoles for local diagnostics. Six USB ports (three USB 3.1 Gen2, three USB 2.0), a COM header and a Nano SIM slot support serial consoles, LTE/5G failover modems via the M.2 3052 B-key slot and Wi-Fi via the M.2 2230 E-key slot. The 12 V DC input accepts 100-240 V AC mains through the bundled adapter. No PoE budget is included unless the optional 802.3af upgrade is purchased for LAN ports one to four.

Questions about this item

Will the six 2.5GbE ports talk to my existing gigabit switch and 100 Mbps devices without extra config?

Yes. Each Intel I226-V port auto-negotiates down to 1 Gbps or 100 Mbps, so legacy switches and older endpoints connect immediately.

How can I confirm the i7-1255U is hitting its 4.7 GHz turbo under firewall load?

Watch the CPU frequency in the OPNsense dashboard or run a stress test; the processor will ramp to 4.7 GHz when thermal headroom allows.

The box lists a power supply — do I still need to buy a 2.5″ SATA drive or Wi-Fi module?

Only if you want extra storage or wireless; the appliance ships with 16 GB DDR4, 128 GB NVMe SSD and the 12 V adapter, so it runs out of the box.
