AAEON Technology Inc. (stock code: 6579), a leading designer and manufacturer of industrial and embedded computers, today announced the release of the BOXER-8642AI, a fanless embedded AI computer featuring eight independent 10 Gbps USB ports, powered by either a 32 GB or 64 GB NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin module.
Built for the smart retail market, the BOXER-8642AI is able to support multiple Intel RealSense D405 3D cameras for high and wide bandwidth image processing to facilitate inferencing tasks conducive to applications such as AI-assisted self-checkout kiosks.

The BOXER-8642AI's design is suitable for reliable, around-the-clock operation in various retail environments, as indicated by its 12 V to 24 V power input range and -25°C and 55°C temperature tolerance. Moreover, AAEON claims the device's standout feature, its selection of 10 Gbps USB ports, have been tested to ensure they can withstand continuous on/off cycling while maintaining a drop-rate of less than 0.1%.

As enterprises race to adopt generative AI and bring new services to market, the demands on data center infrastructure have never been greater. Training large language models is one challenge, but delivering LLM-powered real-time services is another. In the latest round of MLPerf industry benchmarks, Inference v4.1, NVIDIA platforms delivered leading performance across all data center tests. The first-ever submission of the upcoming NVIDIA Blackwell platform revealed up to 4x more performance than the NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU on MLPerf's biggest LLM workload, Llama 2 70B, thanks to its use of a second-generation Transformer Engine and FP4 Tensor Cores.

The NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPU delivered outstanding results on every benchmark in the data center category - including the latest addition to the benchmark, the Mixtral 8x7B mixture of experts (MoE) LLM, which features a total of 46.7 billion parameters, with 12.9 billion parameters active per token. MoE models have gained popularity as a way to bring more versatility to LLM deployments, as they're capable of answering a wide variety of questions and performing more diverse tasks in a single deployment. They're also more efficient since they only activate a few experts per inference - meaning they deliver results much faster than dense models of a similar size.

AAEON, a leading designer and manufacturer of AI Edge solutions, has today confirmed that its Fanless Embedded AI System, the BOXER-8640AI, will support the newly released NVIDIA Jetpack 6.0 software development kit.
