AAEON announced the HPC-ARHm, a COM-HPC R1.2 Mini module that supports both Series 1 and Series 2 Intel Core Ultra processors formerly known as Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake. The 95 mm x 70 mm, 80 gram module accepts 28 W CPUs across both series and offers up to 64 GB of soldered LPDDR5. The design lets users leverage the integrated Intel AI Boost NPU and the desktop-class Intel Arc GPU capabilities on each Intel Core Ultra platform, delivering up to 96 TOPs of artificial intelligence performance depending on the selected SKU.
The HPC-ARHm includes up to 256 GB of onboard NVMe storage and a range of expansion options for data-intensive, low-latency applications. Expansion features comprise one PCIe Gen 4 x8 slot and one PCIe Gen 3 x4 slot, with two lanes co-layed to provide two SATA interfaces configurable via BIOS and BOM. The module also provides four PCIe Gen 3 x1 slots intended for less-demanding peripherals. These I O and storage options are suited to workloads such as healthcare imaging, IC testing equipment, and artificial intelligence-driven robotics that require fast local processing of large datasets.
By combining a small COM-HPC Mini form factor with support for Intel Core Ultra Series 1 and Series 2 processors, the HPC-ARHm aims to deliver desktop-class graphics and on-chip neural processing at the edge. The module balances power and performance with 28 W CPU support and soldered LPDDR5 memory to sustain high throughput for inference and graphics tasks. With onboard NVMe and flexible PCIe expansion, AAEON positions the HPC-ARHm for embedded and edge computing systems that need compact hardware capable of handling demanding artificial intelligence workloads and low-latency data processing.
