Hello Embedded Professionals, Engineers, and Developers! Welcome to the 50th episode of In Case You Missed It, the weekly news show all about Embedded technologies and solutions from Embedded Computing Design. A huge thanks to all of you who’ve stuck with us! If you’re just seeing this for the first time – welcome and subscribe!

Edge computing devices, from retail cameras to factory controllers and logistics endpoints, are rapidly becoming frontline AI systems. The modern edge stack blends CPUs, GPUs, and increasingly NPUs (neural processing units) to deliver low‑latency, on‑device intelligence. This article compares how Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, and Arm pursue edge AI differently and offers CIOs a practical decision framework to align silicon, thermals, and software ecosystems with real workloads and operating constraints.

Intel and AMD have launched an x86 ecosystem advisory group that the companies say will bring together technology leaders to shape the future of the x86 architecture. They want to show that x86 is able to meet the needs of the market better than other architectures through performance and interoperability across hardware and software.

The telecommunications industry’s growing open ecosystem gives CSPs more choice in their technologies and partners as they modernize to cloud-native networks. CSPs need the various technologies of this open ecosystem to work together to offer differentiated edge services and reduce costs.

To simplify smart manufacturing on the edge, Litmus, with Dell Technologies, released a new validated end-to-end solution. The solution merges Dell Technologies with the Litmus Industrial IoT Edge platform. 

Dell Technologies introduced new telecom software, solutions, and services to help communications service providers (CSPs) accelerate their open, cloud-native network deployments and create new revenue opportunities at the edge.
