Next-generation industrial systems demand more than performance. The Dragonwing IQ-X series delivers best-in-class single- and multithread compute performance—unifying on-device AI, rich multimedia, advanced connectivity, and extensible I/O in a compact, power-efficient design engineered for rugged industrial environments.
Most platforms force trade-offs in performance, power, design flexibility, and cost.
The Dragonwing IQ-X series removes that friction. With up to 3.4 GHz of single-thread performance from 12- or 8-core CPUs and 45 TOPS of AI acceleration with up to 3x lower power than leading competitors, the IQ-X series of processors enables seamless process control, monitoring, and real-time visualization and analytics. It supports multiple cameras, 5K displays, and rich peripherals like USB4, 16 PCIe lanes, and UFS 4.0 for high-speed I/O.
