The Intel GPU on ADLINK MXM-AXe offers up to 8 Xe ray-tracing cores, 128 execution units, 4GB GDDR6, and 8x PCIe Gen4 at max. 50W TGP. What’s more, it includes one of the industry’s first full AV1 hardware encoding, demonstrating an encoding speed that is 4.4 times faster than the traditional software encoding. It boosts graphics rendering capabilities significantly, in suiting next-gen graphics workloads.

“We are thrilled to introduce MXM-AXe graphics module with Intel Arc Graphics, a powerful line of discrete graphics, to the embedded world,” says Alex Wang, Senior Product Manager – Module Product Center, ADLINK. “As edge developers transfer from integrated to discrete graphics, MXM-AXe allows them to leverage the same well-established Intel graphics ecosystem, such as OpenVINO for AI and oneAPI (including Intel® Media SDK) management tools, that they have enjoyed and relied on for years,” he adds.
