Supermicro has added variants to X14 servers it announced in June. “The new systems feature significant upgrades across the board, supporting a never-before-seen 256 P-cores [performance cores] in a single node, memory support up for MRDIMMs at 8,800Mtransfer/s and compatibility with next-generation SXM, OAM, and PCIe GPUs,” according to the company. “These new X14 systems include 10U and multi-node form-factors ...

United Electronic Industries has launched a four-slot military-grade IO system for aerospace and defence. DNR-MIL-4 measures ~240 x 180 x 109mm and is designed to comply with MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-1275/708 and MIL-STD-461F. Operation is over -40 to +85°C. There are three versions, with: a 8347 PowerPC, an Arm-based SoloX, or a quad-core Zynq UltraScale+ main processor IC. “For use in PowerDNA/slaved ...

Aaeon has announced 85.6 x 90mm industrial single-board computers with Intel Processor N-series (Alder Lake-N) CPUs. Called ‘UP Squared 7100’, there is a choice of Processor N97 or N100. Atom x7000E or Core i3 N-series can also be fitted to special order, and the board will also be compatible with Atom x7000RE (Amston Lake) CPUs starting from Q1 2025, said Aaeon. ...

A 2Gbyte Raspberry Pi 5 has been launched, priced at $50 compared with $60 for the 4Gbyte version. As well as reduced memory size, cost-saving comes from changing the main processor IC. 4 and 8Gbyte models have the 16nm Broadcom BCM2712C1, which has quad 2.4GHz Arm Cortex-A76 cores. “Alongside the features required to power a Raspberry Pi, it also contains ...

Raspberry Pi has announced its second microcontroller, the RP2350, adding two RISC-V cores alongside improved Arm cores, more ram, and security. Not initially available on its own (ETA pre-year-end), it will first ship as part of the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 single-board microcontroller (right) – which is the same 21 x 51mm size as the original Pico, and priced from ...

Fortec UK is to distribute an Aaeon Pico-ITX board with a NXP i.MX8M Plus processor, which has quad 1.6GHz Arm Cortex-A53 cores. Called Pico-IMX8PL (PICOIMX8PL-A10-0001) and measuring 72 x 100mm, the “board delivers exceptional computing power and versatility in a remarkably compact form factor”, said Fortec. To this, the on-board machine learning accelerator adds 2.3 Top/s. Memory includes 2Gbyte of LPDDR4, ...

At Siggraph today, Supermicro announced a 4U PCIe rack processor cluster with eight Nvidia L40S PCIe GPUs (photo right), scalable up to 256 GPUs in a 32-node scalable unit (photo below). “A wide range of professionals depend on compute-intensive 3D workflows, with use-cases ranging from product design to industrial digital twins,” according to Supermicro. “Up to eight of the latest PCIe ...

San Francisco-based Particle has announced an octa-core Raspberry-Pi shaped single-board computer built around a Qualcomm Snapdragon Kryo CPU with 12Top/s neural processing capability, and equipped with 5G and Wi-Fi 6E comms. Called Tachyon, and aimed at AI edge processing, it is designed to run Ubuntu across its four 1.9GHz Arm cores, three 2.4GHz cores and single 2.7GHz core. Particle describes ...

Distributor Avnet has introduced the Tria brand for its embedded computing products (computer on modules, boards and systems). It has also announced the Tria Technologies business group which will also include its compute design and manufacturing capabilities. Tria Technologies will support OEMs with design either from scratch or using off-the-shelf products and will also make custom designs. Tria will be ...

Moxa is aiming at industrial Ethernet with Layer 3 rack-mount switches. There are two types of MRX Series 64 port Layer 3 switches (left in photo): MRX-Q4064 have 16 and up to 48 2.5Gbit/s ports MRX-G4064 have 8 10Gbit/s Ethernet ports and up to 56 Gbit/s ports “Commercial Ethernet switches are seldom tailored for industrial applications,” said Moxa product manager ...
