AAEON Introduces GENE-ADP6 Single-Board Computer Powered by Intel "Alder Lake"

[btarunr]

AAEON's new GENE-ADP6 unlocks the door to elite edge computing, digital signage, and machine vision applications with enhanced features across the board. The GENE-ADP6 provides a 15% improvement in CPU performance through the Intel 12th Generation Core /Celeron CPU (formerly Alder Lake-P), featuring hybrid platform processor architectures with up to 12 cores and 16 threads. Along with an improvement in CPU power, the GENE-ADP6 shows greater AI-readiness, with Intel's Deep Learning Boost AI accelerator providing enhanced inferencing capabilities to make the GENE-ADP6 perfect for 5G and AI edge computing.

For faster, more advanced storage speeds, the GENE-ADP6 introduces 64GB system memory via two dual-channel DDR5 SODIMMs, being AAEON's first 3.5" SubCompact Board to do so. This improvement from DDR4 to DDR5 offers up to 50% faster data transfer speeds and a new, more efficient power management structure. The GENE-ADP6 supports M.2 3052/3042 and M.2 2230 modules, enabling 5G and Wi-Fi for enhanced application connectivity. Additionally, the board's FPC expansion slot provides sophisticated, high-performance PCIe x4 (Gen 4) speed. This also gives users the flexibility to expand the board's additional PCIe x4 slot for machine vision, smart retail and industrial automation applications.



This is all supported by AAEON's dense, yet intricate I/O featuring three USB 3.2 slots, four USB 2.0 slots, and a display interface for four independent displays with Intel Iris Xe Graphics. It is this combination of features which AAEON believe will see the GENE-ADP6 become the foundation for more refined digital signage and machine vision solutions.

Funny... the power stage is missing.

Yeah, I'd be quite interested to see how much these boards are using in power. It could possibly make for a x86 mini server build, now that the odroid h2 is axed. Put a pcie extender on the m2 M connector and connect it to the HBA and go nuts. It even has onboard 2.5GbE.

What kind of power target you aim for?

Should be less than 10W at idle. 5W idealy.

My current home NAS with ITX board, 1xM.2, 3xSSD, i5-10400, 32GB DDR4 idle power consumption ~13W
the downside is the high load power of course. But idle is the most important as it sits idle most of the time.

What board? I can't get below ~35W idle, though I'm using an mATX board right now as I need minimum two pcie x4 slots.

H470M-ITX/ac
mind you, that i have also disabled HT on CPU to not go too much into power consumption under load.
I am also using a PicoPSU (120W, from Ali) with power brick rated for 72W (GPV-75-12)
RAM is also at default speed 2133 i think, not a gaming machine after-all.

With 300W TFX and no power optimisations i was having around 20-22W idle power with this system.

I would rather buy NanoPi M4B with SATA(x4) add on for home NAS, which would reduce consumption even more, but i specifically need windows to run, so i'm stuck with power hungry x86 systems.

I use a Ryzen 2200GE with an Asrock B450m Pro4, some people mentioned they get ~20W idle, I got double of that... disabling PBO shaved off some ~5W, disabling anything else made no difference...
Yeah, I think the reason I have so high power usage is because I use a 15 year old corsair atx psu. I should use some of those pico things, but I have several HDDs connected so I'd need something at least 200W.

I have around the same with Pentium Gold 6400T on Z590I VISION D. On the other hand I do not get higher load than 35W, that's pretty normal in my books. Your CPU is a huge overkill there. Anything under 10W is very hard. Put a solar cell and compensate the draw lol.

Those PCIe devices could limit your sleep states to some S2 or S4 as max. Some NIC's do that, Aquantias for example, Intel X550 doesn't for example.

Other than that look in the BIOS. I hate Gigabyte with my guts... AUTO means disabled in power sections. Everything is tailored towards high energy consumption basically gimps all the features modern CPU does making into a relict. Looking at journalctl after boot raises my eyebrows. I have not enough time to pick fight with gigabyte to make tickets to fix the damn BIOS.

I measured the ~35W without any cards plugged in, the cards use some +20W.
