The Secret AI Trio to Make Devices Smarter

System designers increasingly look for platforms capable of handling multiple AI workloads with efficient power consumption and low latency. Recent developments in embedded processors now combine general-purpose compute, graphics acceleration, and dedicated neural processing capabilities into a single System-on-Chip.

This article provides a technical walk-through demonstrating multi-model AI inference performance on the AIMB-2210 Mini-ITX platform featuring the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8000 processor.

Hello Embedded Engineers, Developers and Makers! Welcome to In Case You Missed it: Embedded Insights, the weekly news show all about Embedded technologies and solutions from Embedded Computing Design.

High-performance computing at the Edge involves systems that bring server-class processing closer to where data is generated. Instead of sending private information to the Cloud, devices at the network’s Edge, gateways, sensors, industrial controllers, cameras, and embedded AI platforms, run complex workloads locally. This is beneficial for applications like medical imaging, Edge servers, networking, and enterprise-level LLM (Large Language Model) deployment, and includes markets such as healthcare, industrial automation, smart cities, robotics, automotive, and advanced consumer devices. Its growth is driven by tighter latency requirements, rising data volumes, stronger privacy demands, and the need for more efficient, scalable distributed compute architectures.

Rapid advances in agentic AI, generative AI (Gen AI), and AI-powered inferencing are accelerating data-driven industrial applications—and the server platforms they run on. From manufacturing line inspection and defect detection to medical imaging and process documentation, industrial operators are benefitting from unprecedented productivity gains enabled by AI technology.

The conventional legacy workstations present limitations when handling modern resource-intensive simulation and AI workload, which requires high computational power and performance.
