Advantech announces grand launch of three new NVIDIA-powered MXM GPU Modules

Breda, Netherlands – November 2, 2022: Advantech, a leading provider of industrial edge computing platforms, announced the grand launch of a new family of embedded computing modules. These modules, called SKY-MXM-T1000, SKY-MXM-A2000 and SKY-MXM-RTX3000, are all powered by the latest NVIDIA GPUs and built on the NVIDIA® Turing and Ampere GPU architecture to provide industry-leading performance in compact form factors.

Overall features of new MXM GPU modules

The new MXM GPU modules feature real-time ray tracing, AI acceleration, advanced image construction and high-performance big data analytics that are key requirements for industrial deployment. Supporting CUDA, RT and Tensor Cores for graphics along with compute-intensive tasks, these MXM GPU modules from Advantech are equipped with GDDR6 memory for high-speed frame buffering and storing AI models.

The SKY-MXM-T1000 module uses RTX T1000 GPU with 896 CUDA cores. SKY-MXM-A2000, for its part, uses RTX A2000 GPU with 2560 CUDA cores, 20 RT cores and 80 Tensor cores – in addition to featuring error correction code (ECC) for error-free computing. As for SKY-MXM-RTX3000, it uses RTX 3000 GPU with 1920 CUDA cores, 30 RT cores and 240 Tensor cores.

All modules deliver excellent computing power for image or data processing and AI model inference. They also drive performance of machine vision, big data analysis and image constriction to a new high level, especially in industrial applications such as automatic optical inspection, vision-guided robot, SLAM AMR navigation, medical imaging and 3D gaming or simulation. 

SKY-MXM-T1000 and SKY-MXM-A2000 are based on MXM Type A with a dimension of 82 (W) x 70 (D) mm2. SKY-MXM-RTX3000 is based on MXM Type B with a dimension of 82 (W) x 105 (D) mm2. The small form factors facilitate their integration into any embedded systems. The thermal design powers of SKY-MXM-T1000, SKY-MXM-A2000 and SKY-MXM-RTX3000 are 50W, 60W and 80W respectively. All three modules can be fully cooled by passive heatsink and, with proper design, are suitable for applications located in a large variety of harsh environments.

All three MXM GPU modules are designed and manufactured by Advantech, resulting in high-quality technical and after-sales support. The products come with up to five-year warranty and boast a five-year lifecycle with strict revision control; this not only facilitates IEM/SI’s equipment maintenance but also protects the overall H/W and S/W investment.
