Aaeon, a developer of embedded computers, has launched the EPIC-KBS9, a 4-inch SBC built to accommodate 65W Intel Core i socket-type processors. The board is ideal for data encryption, video streaming, and advanced machine vision applications, the vendor said. The EPIC-KBS9 comes with two SODIMM sockets, enabling a 32G dual-channel memory platform, and thanks to its PCIe [x4] slot, the board also supports NVMe SSDs for faster boot times and response rates. As a solution for LAN applications, the EPIC-KBS9 is fitted with four GbE LAN ports. It also features two USB3.0 ports, two USB2.0 internal connectors, an HDMI port, and two COM connectors. The motherboard can be expanded through its PCIe [x4] slot and an additional full mSATA/Mini-PCIe slot.

Samsung Electronics has introduced the industry's first embedded Universal Flash Storage (eUFS) solution for use in next-generation automotive applications. Consisting of 128GB and 64GB versions, the new eUFS solution has been designed for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), next-generation dashboards and infotainment systems that provide connected features for drivers and passengers. Embedded UFS solutions have been used in a variety of mobile applications since early 2015, when Samsung introduced 128GB embedded memory based on the JEDEC UFS 2.0 standard. Configured on JEDEC UFS 2.1, the new Samsung 128GB eUFS can read data at up to 850MB/s, which is approximately 3.4 times faster than the 250MB/s read speed of today's eMMC 5.0 solutions. It also offers about 6.3 times faster random reading than eMMC at 45,000 IOPS.

Neousys Technology's Nuvo-5095GC is a compact and wide-temperature GPU-computing platform supporting Nvidia's GeForce GTX 950 and sixth-gen Intel Core processor. It is the first embedded controller targeting emerging applications of CUDA computing, autopilot, deep learning and virtual reality, according to the vendor. The Nuvo-5095GC possesses 768 CUDA cores to deliver computing power for arithmetic/graphics operations. Neousys' patented Cassette technology and new patent-pending thermal design help to effectively dissipate the heat generated by GPU, making this compact system capable of operating at 60 degrees Celsius with 100% GPU loading. The Nuvo-5095GC is based on Intel's Skylake platform, and supports 35W/65W sixth-gen Core processors and up to 32GB DDR4 memory in a 240mm by 225mm by 110mm footprint.
