Key Features

Generative AI NPU

The 8th Generation NPU offers full hardware acceleration for Transformer and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) models, while enhanced memory performance supports data-intensive Small Language Model (SLM) and Large Language Model (LLM) tasks.

Diverse Display Support

With support for diverse display outputs—such as LVDS (FHD), MIPI (2.5K), eDP 1.4 (4K60), and DP over Type-C (5K60 ultrawide)—it is ideal for commercial displays, smart retail, HMI, and other multi-window or interactive applications.

Extremely Power Efficient

This highly efficient platform is optimized for low-power usage, making it suitable for mobile devices requiring fanless enclosures and battery-powered operation.
