Aaeon Launches AMD Ryzen V2000 Based PICO-V2K4 Pico-ITX Motherboard

With the release of the PICO-V2K4, AAEON has gone one step further in pushing the boundaries of innovation. By creating the smallest embedded single board computer to be powered by the AMD RYZEN V2000 embedded processor family, featuring up to 8 cores, AAEON has further reiterated why it is an industry leader in embedded solutions. The PICO-V2K4 also hosts high-performance AMD Radeon graphics and 7 nm processing technology, all on a 3.94" x 2.84" form factor, opening the door to a broader and more sophisticated range of application uses.

The PICO-V2K4 retains the characteristic versatility that AAEON's PICO-ITX board range is known for, but its unprecedented high-speed computing power, groundbreaking graphic capability and targeted I/O introduces a new level of refinement to the edge. Such elements will give users everything from unprecedented CPU performance to rugged deployment capabilities, all without sacrificing graphic sophistication. With exceptional CPU performance courtesy of the V2000 embedded processor family, the PICO-V2K4 has the power to facilitate automated industrial applications, while maintaining longevity and consistency throughout its lifecycle with a thermal design point range of 10~25 W. Tying this together is up to 64 GB NVMe onboard storage and an M.2 2280 M key port, which will enable expansion modules to suit different application types.
For example, it is easy to see the PICO-V2K4 making a very significant contribution to diagnostic imaging, as an ancillary application to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of x-ray and MRI scan analysis. The PICO-V2K4's chipset features AMD Radeon Graphics with up to 7 Compute Units, which has the capability to provide 4K resolution graphics to enhance medical imaging, coupled with AI inferencing models to assist with object detection, aiding diagnosis in radiology.

The PICO-V2K4 offers developers a wider audience of potential users, with ultra-high frame rates, faster frequency and clocking, and support for 4 simultaneous 4K displays being not only useful in medical technology but also in gaming. To emphasize this, the PICO-V2K4's 64 GB NVMe storage and M.2 2280 M-key expansion slot provide greater processing speed and improve overall gaming experiences for end users.

Whether it is for gaming, diagnostic imaging, or industrial automation, the PICO-V2K4 offers superior computing power, enhanced graphics, and the dense I/O needed to produce elite applications across any vertical market, all while maintaining a compact form factor and flexible expansion options.

I just came to criticize the architecture of these plates... and the mania of placing the chips just below where the M.2 disks would go... I don't know if these geniuses know the amount of heat generated by an M2 disk and the Memories in the remaining position there is no way to dissipate the heat...

The version with the 2718 chip, which has 8C / 16T, looks particularly nice :pimp:

There is no just good or bad product only good or bad for the money.
And if this costs same or more as similarly spec laptop they can keep it.

You design an enclosure with a heatsink and use a thermal pad. It's only 25W.

I assume that most people using these kinds of embedded designs must design custom enclosures.

Ex: Slot Machines, gaming rigs, point-of-sales / cash registers, etc. etc. These boards offer 10-years of support for a reason.

If any hobbyist wants this kinda thing, it makes more sense for us to buy a A520 Mobo + 5600G APU for example.

Lol, this is for industrial and commercial use, and will be priced accordingly, not like cost-sensitive consumer goods.

These are meant for industrial and other embedded use cases, and will have specially designed coolers and enclosures for the implementation at hand. Cooling will not be a problem, nor is it likely that they'll be running high performance m.2 drives at consistent high loads in most use cases, so the amount of heat from that won't be much. And that RAM is likely LPDDR rated for extended temperature ranges. It will be fine, even on a hot factory floor.

Aaeon often has cooler options.




Lose a lot of clocks on the v2718 model to get those 2 more cores.

The v2718 only loses a bit of base clock, but it has a higher max frequency than it's 6 core counterpart, the v2516.

The v2748 and v2546 may be clocked higher, but they also put out much more heat.

Sometimes these boards also have ATX docking boards that are available where the ITX board connects to larger board for easier initial programming and testing.

Chassis becomes heatsink...

That is an old saying. It's a part of consumerism gone wrong! It is a bad product if it ends up in a landfill before it was ever useful.

That's very true - though neither approach is particularly relevant here, given that these are enterprise/industry facing products meant for running automated production lines and the like and not for consumer use. If anything, these are likely to be run until they or the machinery they control is either made obsolete for production reasons or something fails in a non-fixable way.
