IBASE Technology Inc. unveiled the MBB1002, an eATX motherboard built for edge AI workloads. Powered by AMD EPYC Embedded 8004 processors up to 64 cores, the board promises high‑performance compute while keeping power draw modest, even in harsh environments. Its design targets smart‑factory, autonomous‑transport and AIoT deployments that need on‑site inference and real‑time analytics for customers seeking on‑premise intelligence.

Scalability comes from five PCIe Gen 5 x16 slots, letting system integrators attach GPUs or dedicated AI accelerators as demand grows. Memory capacity reaches 576 GB DDR5‑4800 ECC, ensuring fast, error‑checked data handling for intensive models. Dual 10GbE LAN ports and native PCIe Gen 5 NVMe support deliver low‑latency networking and storage for mission‑critical tasks and supports future PCIe bandwidth expansions.

Beyond raw specs, the board’s industrial‑grade chassis tolerates temperature swings and vibration typical of edge installations. Integrated SATA, USB 3.2 with PDPC and comprehensive I/O simplify deployment, cutting engineering overhead for OEMs. With these features, IBASE aims to shorten time‑to‑market for AI‑driven solutions across manufacturing, transportation and broader edge computing ecosystems, making it a compelling choice for developers building distributed AI pipelines.
