ADLINK's cExpress-R8: Compact solution for diverse industrial workloads

ADLINK Technology Inc. introduces the cExpress-R8, a COM Express^® COM.0 R3.1 Type 6 Compact module powered by AMD Ryzen™ Embedded 8000 Series processors (8845HS, 8840U, 8645HS, 8640U). Engineered to satisfy the demands of modern smart industrial applications, it delivers an advanced integration of high-performance and energy-efficient design. This module ignites mission-critical AI capabilities, accelerated edge computing, and advanced graphics performance — bringing the confidence that comes with the reliability needed for complex, graphics-intensive workloads.

Pushing the limits of edge performance, ADLINK’s cExpress-R8 combines up to 8“ Zen 4” cores and 16 threads with integrated AMD RDNA™ 3 graphics and an XDNA™ NPU, delivering up to 40 TOPS. The cExpress-R8 fuels power-efficient AI inferencing and fast decision-making across machine vision, robotics, medical imaging, infotainment, and intelligent human-machine systems. With XDNA™ architecture, performance-per-watt efficiency is optimized, delivering advanced AI processing, and enabling more complex AI workloads without a significant spike in energy demands.

To guarantee real-time processing, the cExpress-R8 supports up to 96GB of DDR5 memory at 5600 MT/s, with both ECC and non-ECC options available. ECC acts as a watchdog, detecting and correcting errors in environments, where failure isn’t an option, whether in mission-critical applications, gaming, transportation, and POS (Point of Sale)/POI (Point of Information) systems.

With support for up to four displays, DP, eDP, HDMI, LVDS, and VGA interfaces. VGA and eDP outputs are available as optional features, allowing flexible visual configurations to meet edge computing demands. Combined with scalable performance, power, and graphics configurations, the cExpress-R8 is well-suited for a diverse range of edge applications. With 10-year product availability, it ensures long-term design stability and lifecycle alignment for system integrator roadmaps.
