Packing a 35W CPU onto a board barely larger than a Raspberry Pi might sound like a bad idea, but that's not stopping Asus' Aaeon product division.
The company Wednesday unveiled a 4.7x4.8-inch single-board computer (SBC), called the
UP Xtreme i12, that can be spec'd up to a 12-core/16-thread 12th-Gen Intel Core i7 1280PE. For reference, that's a notebook-class chip capable of consuming a sustained 35W of power and boosting to 4.5GHz.
For those who don't need something quite as powerful or as hot as the i7, the board is also available with a five-core Celeron, an octa-core i3, or a 12-core i5. However, as was the case with
Aaeon's GENE-ADP6 announced earlier this year, only the i5 and i7 SKUs benefit from Intel's Iris Xe integrated graphics.

Overview
Stronger – Power-Efficient Multicore Architecture
An innovative next generation board, the UP Xtreme i12 hosts the 12 core, 16 thread hybrid architecture of 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors (formerly Alder Lake-P). This configuration increases energy-efficiency while doubling its predecessor’s thread count. Further, the UP Xtreme i12’s wide 12~36V power input range facilitates extended use for industrial applications, such as smart manufacturing. Customers can therefore harness CPU performance up to 20% greater than Tiger Lake while retaining continuous, efficient operation in more challenging environments.
Faster - Onboard LPDDR5, 2.5GbE, and a 2.47 x Increase in Graphics Speed
Greater processing is enhanced by up to 32GB of onboard LPDDR5 system memory, doubling bandwidth and memory capacity without the need for SODIMM module installation. Combining this accelerated data processing with USB 4.0 and 2.5GbE ports ensures high-speed connectivity to peripheral cameras and sensors, making the UP Xtreme i12 the perfect board for smart retail. Additionally, the 2.47 x increase in graphics speed provided by Intel® Iris® Xe graphics, with four simultaneous 4K displays.
Smarter – AI, 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and PCIe 4.0
The UP Xtreme i12 offers unprecedented expandability. Supporting Wi-Fi 6 and 5G via M.2 2230 E and 3052 B-Keys, the UP Xtreme i12 also contains two M.2 2280 M-Keys for PCIe 4.0 storage and AI module support. Its AI performance is augmented by Intel® DL Boost and the Intel® distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit, which yields up to 2.81 x the GPU image classification inferencing performance of the previous generation. Further, its Intel® i226IT ethernet package supports Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) to prioritize real-time workloads and execute tasks within precise time cycles. With such high-level performance, the UP Xtreme i12 presents an elite solution for IoT and robotics projects.
