  Concurrent Technologies has put Intel Atom x7000RE Amston Lake processors into a VME board, adding image processing and AI audio processing accelerators to the venerable form factor. CPU choice on the board, called Rhea, is either the four-core 1.5GHz x7433RE, or the two-core 2GHz x7213RE. “Whilst no longer the cutting edge of technology, VME continues to be a widely ...

A roundup of all the latest electronics news from Embedded World in Nuremberg.

Congatec announced SMARC modules based on Intel’s Atom x7000RE ‘Amston Lake’ processors. “Specially designed for industrial requirements, they deliver eight processor cores, double the previous generation, while maintaining the same power consumption,” according  to Congatec. Called conga‑SA8, the modules are credit card size and operate over -40 to +85°C. Read all the latest news from Embedded World 2024 » AI ...

NXP has announced a real-time processor for vehicle central control computers with 16 1.2GHz Arm Cortex-R52 processors. Hardware isolation and virtualisation are provided to allow sharing of on-die hardware between different code blocks without interaction “to support the consolidation of cross-vehicle electronic control units in vehicle central compute applications”, said NXP. “Vehicle functions can be independently managed, including fault handling ...

Automation and AI will be in evidence at this year’s show, writes Caroline Haye. It is not as common as it once was for companies to launch products at exhibitions, but Renesas is launching a new, low-power microcontroller series at the show. It will also be showcasing its RZ/V2H microprocessor with new AI technology. Renesas: Hall 1-234 Silicon Labs will ...

As accelerated computing reaches its tipping point, Nvidia’s CEO explained the company’s plan is not to drive down costs but to scale up performance. He was speaking at Nvidia GTC in San Jose, introducing the Blackwell AI superchip. It will democratise trillion parameter AI, promises Huang, to meet the 1.8 trillion parameters computing performance of accelerated computing. In the home ...

Fortec Integrated has introduced a 3.5inch format single-board computer with a choice of Intel Raptor Lake processors. Made by Taiwanese company iBase, it is called IB961 and comes in four versions: i7 with 14cores (6 performance, 8 efficiency, 20 threads) i5 with 12 cores (4p, 8e 16t) i5 with 10 cores (2p, 8e, 12t) i3 with eight-cores (4p, 4e, 12t) ...

Nvidia has added to the Ada Lovelace architecture-based family of laptop GPUs, with the RTX 500 and 1000 Ada Generation laptop GPUs for portable mobile workstations. As with the recently released RTX 2000 (Electronics Weekly RTX 2000 Ada GPU meets AI visualisation demands (electronicsweekly.com),the GPUs have both an NPU (neural processing unit) and the company’s RTX GPU, with Tensor cores ...

To meet the increased demand for generative AI in embedded and edge applications, Nvidia has released the RTX 2000 Ada Generation GPU. According to the company, it offers up to 1.5 times the performance of the earlier RTX A2000 12GByte processor. It enhances AI-powered design tools and high resolution visuals in industrial 3D design, such as structural analysis in civic ...

NXP has fleshed out the MCX A microcontroller series it announced in 2022. The ‘A’ series is the lower-cost branch of the MCX family, and like other MCX MCUs, the devices are built around an Arm Cortex-M33 core – this is the security-enabled M3. The first parts are MCX A14x (48MHz core) and MCX A15x (96MHz core), which come in ...
