The latest trend in the single board computer (SBC) market is the development of increasingly compact and powerful devices. This shift is driven by the growing demand for edge computing solutions and the need for space-efficient, high-performance computing platforms. Industries such as IoT, industrial automation, and robotics require SBCs that can deliver robust processing power in a small form factor, enabling integration into constrained environments and portable applications. As a result, manufacturers are focusing on minimizing size while maximizing performance, efficiency, and connectivity options to meet these evolving market needs.
For instance, in August 2024, AAEON unveiled the PICO-MTU4, the smallest SBC featuring the Intel Core Ultra Processor platform. This ultra-compact board offers a 24% boost in multi-thread performance and a 50% reduction in SoC power consumption. It's designed for advanced industrial applications, featuring robust connectivity and expansion options, including support for industrial protocols.
