Advantech shows why it focuses on low-TDP edge AI instead of only chasing the highest data-center TDP numbers in its latest server portfolio. Product manager Alan Singh walks through short-depth rack servers that pair a single CPU with multiple SiMa.ai MLSoC accelerator cards to deliver dense video analytics at the edge, targeting smart cities, manufacturing and retail deployments that care as much about power envelopes and cooling budgets as TOPS. https://www.advantech.com/

— HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color. —
Recorded at Supercomputing 2025 in St. Louis, the demo highlights an ASMB-818 server board inside the HPC-7420 4U short-depth chassis, populated with SiMa.ai cards to reach around 80 concurrent video streams of real-time AI inference for object detection and tracking. This design combines DDR5 memory expansion, multiple PCIe 5.0 slots and compact mechanical depth so the same platform can slide into shallow edge racks or wall-mount enclosures in existing facilities, without the plumbing overhead of direct-to-chip liquid cooling.
Singh then moves up the stack to larger EATX and dual-socket AMD and Intel platforms, showing how Advantech extends the same design philosophy into systems that can host up to six GPUs in a short-depth chassis, with 16 or 32 DIMM slots for high-capacity DDR5. These platforms are tuned for AI inference, data acquisition and streaming workloads at the network edge, where deterministic latency, ruggedized builds and remote-management hooks often matter more than squeezing in another couple of hundred watts of accelerator TDP.
A 2U NVIDIA MGX-compliant GPU server such as the SKY-622G4 illustrates how Advantech bridges edge and core data-center requirements: dual Intel Xeon 6 processors, 32 DDR5 ECC RDIMMs, up to four dual-slot GPUs including RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell or H200/H100 NVL parts, plus redundant 6000 W PSUs and high-bandwidth networking for scale-out clusters. Around these hardware building blocks, Advantech leverages its position as a leading industrial PC vendor with extensive customization, from FDA-related and medical certifications to military-grade environmental testing, so OEMs can take MGX and edge AI reference designs and turn them into deployable, certified products in demanding vertical markets.
