Demanding IoT workloads are increasingly impacting safety-critical applications, requiring high-performance computing, flexibility, and support for advanced AI and data-driven capabilities in the most rugged environments. Providing real-time acceleration at the edge, especially in harsh conditions, is never easy, but with the right solution, mission-critical IoT, defense, and industrial applications can excel.
Designed to deliver reliable computing to rugged and IoT-intensive environments is the AV600-MH-A50 from 7Starlake Co., Ltd., a military IP65 GPU computer built on Intel 7 SuperFin technology. The solution employs advanced process technology designed to support military and industrial-grade reliability.
The advanced GPU computer features the 14th Gen Meteor Lake Intel Core Ultra 165H processor, which provides up to 16 CPU cores, comprising six performance cores, eight efficiency cores, and two low-power efficiency cores, to support compute-intensive tasks and deliver real-time performance. The processor also offers a base frequency of 1.4 GHz and a maximum of 5 GHz, with a 32% increase in single-thread performance.
Intel's integrated Intel Arc Graphics support visuals and displays on the AV600-MH-A50 for enhanced visual computing and AI acceleration. The Intel oneAPI Toolkit provides a set of tools and libraries for heterogeneous development across CPUs and GPUs.
The AV600-MH-A50 GPU PC provides MIL-STD connectors, IP66-rated protection, and an extended temperature tolerance of -40°C to 60°C. The solution also supports high-bandwidth I/O, like two 10/100/1000/2.5G Ethernet Ports (one from CPU module) and much more, as well as flexible expansion with two full-size mini PCIe (with SIM card slot), two M.2 2280 M key ports (PCIe x4 both), and two SATA II. These features, coupled with Intel Platform Innovation, support overall high-bandwidth I/O, peripheral connectivity, and system scalability and adaptability.
For additional support in unpredictable environments, the PC supports an 18V–36V DC input with surge protection and MIL-STD-461 compliance.
The AV600-MH-A50 GPU PC efficiently integrates Intel processing, graphics performance, and developer tools, delivering rugged durability with advanced computing power for evolving IoT-intensive environments.
