The Edge AI Redesign Challenge
Don't get pushed into an upgrade when your AI platform reaches end-of-life
With a number of Edge AI solutions going end of life in the next 12 months, users are facing a huge challenge. Staying in proprietary ecosystems is bringing high costs for premium successors. These also come with higher TDP budgets and are limited to no scalability.
Turn this challenge into an opportunity with EBV Embedded Solutions and find an Edge AI solution that better fits your application, performance requirements, and budget.
Qualcomm and Intel offer attractive alternatives with:
- Superior Performance-per-Watt
- Wide perfomance scalability
- Competitive pricing
- Longevity of min 10 years
These processors are available in standardised form factors enabling future-proof designs. Form factors like SMARC, OSM, COM Express and COM-HPC are offered by Tria Technologies as well as many other vendors. These form factors offer flexibility, scalability and compatibility.
Both Qualcomm and Intel offer comprehensive tool chains to help customers migrate to their respective ecosystems.
