AAEON, a leading manufacturer of AI development solutions, has released the UP Squared Pro 7000, bringing the acclaimed UP Squared Pro series into its third generation. The UP Squared Pro 7000 sees dramatic improvements when compared to the boards preceding it. The first of these is that it is the world's first industrial motherboard equipped with the Intel Core /Atom /N-Series processor platform (formerly Alder Lake-N), which offers 1.4x the CPU performance of the previous generation, alongside the benefit of supporting the Intel Distribution of OpenVINO Toolkit. In addition, the board hosts 16 GB of onboard LPDDR5 4800 MHz system memory, doubling the bandwidth and data transfer speed of the previous model, while also increasing overall energy-efficiency.

A first for the UP Squared Pro product line, the UP Squared Pro 7000 supports MIPI CSI cameras via an FPC port, freeing up its two 2.5 GbE (Intel i226-IT) and three USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports for other peripheral devices. Developers also gain access to exceptional expansion from the dense, 4" x 4" (101.6 mm x 101.6 mm) board, with the same 40-pin GPIO header alongside M.2 E, M, and B Keys for CNVI, PCIe, and USB add-ons.
