Germering (Germany), 5th March 2025 – Advantech, a global leader in embedded IoT computing, is excited to launch its latest Edge AI solutions featuring the advanced AMD Ryzen™ Embedded 8000 Series processors. The SOM-6873 (COMe Compact), AIMB-2210 (Mini-ITX motherboards), and AIR-410 (AI Inference System) deliver exceptional AI performance leveraging the first AMD embedded devices with integrated Neural Processing Units. These integrated NPUs are optimized to enhance AI inference efficiency and precision. Together with traditional CPU and GPU elements, the architecture delivers performance up to 39 TOPS. They also support dual-channel DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen4, providing ample computing power with flexible TDP options and thermal solutions. Within value-added software services, such as the Edge AI SDK that integrates the AMD Ryzen™ AI software, the model porting procedure is accelerated. These features make the solutions ideal for edge applications such as HMI, machine vision in industrial automation, smart management and interactive services in urban entertainment systems, and healthcare devices such as ultrasound machines.
“The SOM-6873, AIMB-2210 and AIR-410, powered by AMD Ryzen Embedded 8000 series, will usher in a new era of Edge AI computing, utilizing the standard COM Express and Industrial form factor motherboards with integrated NPUs to enable seamless AI transformation across industries like healthcare, industrial automation, and smart cities,” said Yousef Khalilollahi, corporate vice president, Embedded Business Group, AMD.
Optimized Inference Performance and Productivity with Native AI Capabilities
The AMD Ryzen™ Embedded 8000 Series processors deliver enhanced computational power with up to eight cores and improved performance per watt; and are available in configurations from 15W to 54W TDP. The SOM-6873, AIMB-2210, and AIR-410 harness this architecture to offer up to 1.6x higher CPU and GPU performance compared to the AMD Ryzen Embedded V2000 Series. These AI modules and motherboards achieve up to 39 TOPS in AI processing, delivering 1.79x better AI performance (Yolov8) and superior edge inference for machine vision, self-service, medical, and entertainment applications.
Diverse Standard Form Factors with Advanced Design Accelerate Edge Intelligence
Designed for applications such as multimedia, gaming, robotics and real time control, the SOM-6873 COM Express Compact Type 6 module supports dual-channel memory of up to 96GB DDR5-5600, up to 20 PCIe Gen4 lanes, 4 SATA 3.0 ports, and an efficient QFCS thermal design to prevent throttling in temperatures up to 60°C. In addition to the scalable COM for easy upgrades without the need to redesign the entire system, Advantech also provides carrier board reference designs to accelerate application development, such as for medical devices.
The AIMB-2210, a thin Mini-ITX motherboard, combines a compact profile with robust functionality, including 8 USB ports, a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, 3 M.2 slots for NVMe SSDs, additional AI modules, wireless connectivity, and a 12-24V wide voltage DC-In, streamlining integration into space-constrained systems.
The AIR-410 AI Inference System is not only compatible with the RTX-6000Ada but also includes a built-in 850W PSU to support advanced components, fulfilling specific scenarios that require a powerful yet compact design for optimized deployment.
