At CES 2026, Sapphire unveiled the EDGE+ VPR-7P132, a powerful Mini ITX motherboard featuring the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 APU. This APU combines six 'Zen 5' cores (12 threads) boosting to 4.5 GHz with a configurable 15-54W TDP. It integrates RDNA 3.5 graphics and an XDNA 2 NPU for local AI processing.

The standout feature is the inclusion of an AMD Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2 FPGA, enabling custom data paths and external signal processing. Designed for industrial PCs requiring 24/7 operation, this board is ideal for edge computing applications like smart cameras with sensor fusion and industrial robotics. This integration offers a compact, low-power solution for complex, real-time AI and automation tasks, significantly reducing latency and hardware footprint compared to discrete component setups.
