AAEON's UP brand, most known for its pioneering developer board portfolio, has released the UP Xtreme i14 Edge, a Mini PC equipped with Intel Core Ultra processing, Intel Arc graphics, and 64 GB of LPDDR5 system memory. The PC is primarily geared towards applications requiring high performance computer vision, such as smart traffic monitoring and AI-assisted commercial security systems, but given the serial communication options available on the PC, the UP Xtreme i14 Edge would be just as suitable for the remote monitoring and control of industrial setups.

Outside the integrated CPU, GPU, and NPU of its Intel Core Ultra SoC, a key standout feature of the UP Xtreme i14 Edge is the fact it offers double the system memory of its predecessor, at 64 GB, as well as substantial upgrades to available display outputs. The UP Xtreme i14 Edge offers two HDMI 2.1 ports with Fixed Rate Link (FRL) technology for high bandwidth and improved display output quality. In addition to this, the system also contains one DP 1.2 port and a DP 1.4 interface via its USB Type-C port, giving users simultaneous 4K displays at 144 Hz.



For the installation of peripheral devices such as cameras and sensors, the UP Xtreme i14 Edge is equipped with three USB Type-A ports ranging from USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds, alongside two Ethernet ports with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), one providing 2.5GbE and one Gigabit Ethernet speed. For wireless connectivity, both Wi-Fi and 5G expansion modules are supported via an M.2 2230 E-Key and M.2 3052 B-Key slots, respectively.

Further expansion is present in the form of two M.2 2280 M-Key slots, which both offer PCIe Gen 4 [x4] for high-speed storage. Alternatively, the UP Xtreme i14 Edge's SATA support is available as a storage option, while its PCIe slots can be used to host additional Hailo-8 AI acceleration modules.

The UP Xtreme i14 Edge is now available for order with Ubuntu 24.04 preinstalled (Ubuntu Pro validated) as a computing kit via the UP Shop, as well as an onboard 256 GB SSD. The kit also includes the option to purchase peripheral components such as Wi-Fi, 5G, AI acceleration, and storage modules when ordering the system.

Detailed product specifications and documentation can be found on the UP Xtreme i14 Edge product page.
