Qualcomm & Advantech: Edge AI with Snapdragon Power - Embedded
Advantech and Qualcomm are joining forces. By combining Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus processors with Advantech’s proven hardware expertise, a new generation of industrial modules is emerging. These solutions deliver powerful AI performance together with exceptional energy efficiency, enabling companies to take the step toward sustainable and high-performance edge computing.
Why Snapdragon makes the difference
The Hexagon NPU delivers up to 45 TOPS and, when combined with CPU/GPU, even 75 TOPS—enough to run multiple AI models simultaneously at the edge. At the same time, the systems consume up to 60–65% less power compared to similar x86 solutions. Add native 5G/Wi-Fi 6E connectivity and out-of-the-box support for Windows 11 IoT, Ubuntu, and the Qualcomm AI Hub, and developers can get started right away.
The future of industrial AI is now
The collaboration between Advantech and Qualcomm marks a turning point: Arm-based edge platforms are becoming a true alternative to x86. Whether it’s fast integration into existing devices or large-scale AI systems for demanding industries, Snapdragon solutions open the door to greater innovation and sustainable growth.
