AAEON Launched An Industrial Mini-ITX Motherboard with Intel Core Ultra processors and Intel Arc graphics for embedded and edge AI systems

The AAEON MIX-MTLD1 is a Mini-ITX industrial motherboard, works with Intel Core Ultra processors (the U-series uses 15 watts and the H-series uses 28 watts) and can hold up to 96GB of DDR5 memory that runs in pairs, made for powerful embedded uses.

This board has Intel Arc graphics, which allows it to connect to four screens through four HDMI 2.0 ports. It can also support LVDS/eDP displays, making it perfect for things like digital signs, kiosks, factory automation, and AI systems at the edge. Key features include various storage choices (SATA III and NVMe through M.2), lots of expansion slots (M.2 E-Key, B-Key, and M-Key, plus PCIe Gen 5 [x8] for H-series models), two internet ports (2.5GbE and 1GbE), different USB options (USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C, and USB 2.0), built-in TPM 2.0 for security, a watchdog timer, smart fan control, and it can also manage out-of-band (OOB) through MOD-RMB.
