Advantech has introduced its latest suite of edge AI compute solutions powered by the Dragonwing IQ-X platform – the AOM-6731, AIMB-293 and SOM-6820. Built on this platform, these innovative products are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern industrial applications by delivering good processing power, integrated AI acceleration with up to 45 TOPS of AI performance and robust and fast 5G and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity into an industrial PC.
The solutions powered by the Dragonwing IQ-X 12-core and 10-core with a leading Qualcomm Oryon CPUs, reaching speeds of up to 3.4GHz. This high-performance processing not only ensures enables rapid data handling and seamless multitasking but also outperforms traditional x86 solutions—using 28% less power on average for everyday tasks, including Teams video calls, local video playback, web browsing, and Microsoft 365. Enhancing AI capabilities, these devices are integrated with Qualcomm Hexagon NPU, providing up to 45 TOPS.
The solutions, which contain Dragonwing IQ-X platforms, are equipped with LPDDR5X memory, offering a 1.3× speed boost—from 6400MT/s to 8533MT/s; while claiming to be cutting power consumption by 20% compared to standard LPDDR5. In addition, the integration of UFS 3.1 Gear 4 storage increases data transfer speeds from 1,000Mbps (PCIe Gen3 NVMe) to an impressive 16,000Mbps. For even greater durability and shock resistance, UFS 4.0 storage solutions are available, ensuring optimal performance in harsh industrial environments.
For multimedia-intensive applications, the integrated Snapdragon Adreno 5th Generation VPU supports 4K60p full-duplex H.264 video encoding/decoding. Additionally, the Adreno GPU—equipped with OpenCL, OpenGL and Microsoft DirectX 12 support – ensures superior graphics performance for vision-centric tasks.
