TAIPEI, May 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As COMPUTEX 2025, one of the most anticipated global tech events, prepares to open its doors in Taipei, AI applications are set to reach new heights. GIGAIPC, the industrial computing and edge AI subsidiary of GIGABYTE Technology, will unveil three innovative AI edge computing solutions at COMPUTEX 2025, showcasing its expertise in industrial-grade system design. Powered by NVIDIA® Jetson Orinâ„¢ modules, the flagship QN-ORAX32-A1, QN-ORNX16GH-A1, and QN-ORNX16 deliver exceptional AI performance for smart manufacturing, intelligent surveillance, smart healthcare, smart retail, and AIoT applications, setting new benchmarks for edge computing.
The QN-ORAX32-A1, built on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orinâ„¢ 32GB module, features an 8-core ARM v8.2 64-bit CPU and an NVIDIA Ampere GPU with 1792 CUDA® cores and 56 Tensor cores, delivering up to 200 TOPS of AI performance—six times faster than its predecessor. This enhanced computing power makes it well-suited for high-load data processing and complex AI models. Beyond its computing performance, the QN-ORAX32-A1 is also built for real-world deployment. To ensure long-term durability in harsh industrial environments, the system incorporates a fanless thermal design and wide-range DC power input.
In addition, it supports NVIDIA® JetPackâ„¢, NVIDIA Isaacâ„¢ ROS, and other Jetson platform services, enabling rapid AI integration and robotic perception, while reducing development costs. These capabilities make it an ideal choice for automated optical inspection (AOI), smart manufacturing, edge servers, and robotics.
The QN-ORNX16GH-A1 and QN-ORNX16, powered by the Jetson Orinâ„¢ NX module, offer up to 100 TOPS for real-time visual analysis, object recognition, and data inference. The QN-ORNX16GH-A1 is optimized for smart city infrastructure, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and industrial automation, featuring 10 LAN ports, including 8 with Power over Ethernet (PoE), enabling simultaneous data transfer and power delivery to streamline multi-device setups. The combination of edge AI inference and multi-channel PoE helps simplify front-end data acquisition and analysis, reducing wiring complexity and deployment costs. In contrast, the QN-ORNX16 is tailored for medical imaging applications, leveraging advanced AI image recognition technology. It enables real-time image processing and precise inference via trained AI models, supporting rapid diagnostics and advancing precision medicine.
COMPUTEX 2025 will be held from May 20 to 23, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1, 1F. GIGAIPC will showcase its latest AI edge computing solutions at the GIGABYTE Group booth (Booth No. K0802), presenting its latest edge AI solutions for industrial applications.
