LPDDR5X memory boosts speed by 1.3× and cuts power use by 20%.
UFS 4.0 storage enhances durability and data transfer up to 16,000Mbps.
Supports Wi-Fi 7 and 5G for ultra-fast, low-latency connectivity.
Available for engineering evaluations starting March 2025.
The AOM-6731 AI module, AIMB-293 Mini-ITX motherboard, and SOM-6820 COM Express Type 6 module leverage Snapdragon X Elite’s 12-core and X Plus’s 10-core Qualcomm Oryon CPUs, reaching speeds of 3.4GHz. Integrated with Qualcomm’s Hexagon NPU, they deliver up to 45 TOPS for AI tasks, outperforming x86 platforms while using 28% less power for tasks like video calls and web browsing.
Equipped with LPDDR5X memory, these solutions achieve a 1.3× speed increase (6400MT/s to 8533MT/s) and 20% lower power consumption compared to LPDDR5. UFS 4.0 storage ensures durability in harsh environments, with data transfer speeds up to 16,000Mbps, a significant leap from 1,000Mbps of PCIe Gen3 NVMe.
Wi-Fi 7 and 5G integration provide multi-gigabit speeds and low-latency performance, ideal for data-intensive AI applications. The Snapdragon Adreno 5th Generation VPU supports 4K60p H.264 video encoding/decoding, while the Adreno GPU enables OpenCL, OpenGL, and DirectX 12 for superior graphics in vision-centric tasks.
These solutions, supported by Advantech’s Edge AI SDK, streamline AI development and deployment, targeting industries like IoT, automation, and medical systems. “Advantech debuts edge AI platforms with Snapdragon X Elite, offering powerful AI, 5G, and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity,” noted a post on X, reflecting industry excitement. The products, available for evaluation in March 2025, position Advantech as a leader in edge AI innovation.
