The Intel® Alder Lake processor-based ADS Series utilizes the all-new hybrid architecture of Performance Cores and Efficient Cores (P-core and E-core) to achieve high-performance computing with lower power consumption and intelligently make instant, optimal adjustments to workloads and workflows. With Deep Learning Boost (DL Boost) and Vector Neural Network Instruction Set (VNNI), deep learning can be further accelerated and provides accurate and fast inferencing results for visual computing applications such as defect inspection and AGV/AMR.

Besides the new hybrid architecture, the ADS Series also supports PCIe 5.0 high-speed signal transmission for the first time, achieving a data transfer speed 2X faster than the previous-gen PCIe 4.0. Faster DDR5 memory is also supported to boost data read and write speeds up to 4800MT/s, accelerating the processing speed of numerous data and images for AI and computer vision.

Numerous data transfers, shares and backups are processed through the high-speed 10GLAN on the ADS Series Computers, significantly improving operating efficiency. Also, the wireless high-bandwidth Wifi 6E is supported for the first time with speed transmission up to 6GHz (1.4X faster than Wifi 5 and Wifi 6), making device deployment more flexible and collaboration more real-time and seamless.

In addition, the ADS Series supports 8K resolution with clarity and precision, surpassing the resolving power of the human eye by more than ten times. The result provides greater detail for image processing as well as streaming video and enhances the accuracy of the image and visual computing.

The new ADS Series is designed to help integrators maximize the use of each device, reduce configuration, and lower costs. While improving overall computing performance and efficiency, the ADS Series is also equipped with I/O virtualization of GFX SR-IOV for the first time. It allows the GPU of a virtual machine (VM) to be distributed at near-native performance levels, significantly reducing the latency caused by the software-based virtual machine. The proof of concept (POC) of SR-IOV with Intel also confirms the VM frame rate remains at 60fps, equal to the native GPU performance (the traditional software-based performance is 28 fps frame rate).

DFI’s new ADS Series of industrial computers offers a full range of performance and efficiency optimizations. From data reading/writing speeds to the transfer to AI computing, the new-gen computing brains will bring unprecedented intelligence and speed to the heavy workloads of AI vision applications, factory automation, medical and retail industries.

HSINCHU, June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — AP Memory, the global leading design company that provides customized memory solution, has announced today the launch of its new Ultra High Speed (UHS) and Ultra Low Swing (ULS) PSRAM. AP Memory rolls out AP351216C/AP351208, to further expand the density of AP Memory’s UHS products series to 512Mb, and AP43208B, the industry’s first ultra-low power 32Mb ULS product. AP Memory’s new UHS/ULS products serve as memory solutions that support high density and low power consumption, meeting the needs of modern IoT applications such as new generation edge computing, smart home, smart wearable device, 5G communication, Timing Controller (TCON), etc.

AP Memory is the first in the industry to introduce UHS/ULS PSRAM memory. Compared to traditional PSRAM and DRAM memory solution, UHS/ULS product series provides advanced memory features such as high transfer rate (~5x more bandwidth compare to PSRAM), low power consumption (~3x less compare to DRAM) and low pin count (3x less compare to DRAM). AP Memory’s UHS/ULS product series enable design simplification while meeting form factor constraints and upgrade system and function performance of compacted IoT applications.

When operating at the highest frequency at 1066Mhz, the power consumption of UHS product can save power consumption up to 40% comparing to LPDRAM, with power consumption at a very low level of 62mW, which significantly improves wearable devices’ battery life. Furthermore, the newly released ULS products uses lower I/O voltages compare to traditional PSRAMs, further reducing memory power consumption, making ULS a new advantageous option for ultra-low-power memory solution. On top of this, as System on Chip (SoC) continues to migrate to advanced node process, the I/O voltage of SoC is gradually decreasing. UHS/ULS products can interconnect with SoC without a voltage converter, and due to its low pin count feature, it further reduces the complexity and cost of IoT product design.

Both the UHS products, with density from 64Mb to 512Mb, and the 32Mb ULS product are offered in KGD (Known Good Die) for commercial (-25°C~85°C) and industrial grade application (-40°C~105°C). AP Memory supports customized service according to customers’ needs, providing RDL and WLCSP packaging application for end products at different levels such as component, module or system.

BEIJING, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — A smart new commercial industrial park featuring Yiwu small commodities was opened on May 28 in Guigang City, south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Orders worth 210 million yuan (about 31.48 million U.S. dollars) in total was placed on the opening day.

With a total investment of 11 billion yuan, the industrial park covers an area of 2,388 mu (159.2 hectares) and a planned construction area of 3 million square meters, according to Yang Yang, deputy general manager of Zhejiang China Commodities City Group Co., Ltd. The park is expected to offer 40,000 direct job positions, with its average annual transaction volume predicted at about 13 billion yuan, and annual profit and tax about 400 million yuan, Yang noted.

Known as the “World’s Supermarket,” Yiwu City of east China’s Zhejiang Province has introduced its sixth-generation model of smart commercial industrial city to the new project in Guigang. Through technological innovations including global trade big data cloud information, 5G and AI, the park forms a global trade ecosystem featured with an “eight-in-one” industrial chain operation model integrating trade, professional market, production and processing, warehousing and logistics, live-streaming, etc.

Connecting with members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) by both land and sea, Guangxi is eyeing unprecedented development opportunities in terms of cross-border logistics. The launch of the park will infuse the city of Guigang with a strong impetus to grow into a “capital of small commodities” in south China, said Su Jian, deputy director of the Guangxi regional commerce department, noting that the industrial park will strive to serve the broadened ASEAN market under the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).

Data shows that the sales of small commodities to ASEAN countries has increased significantly after the RCEP came into effect. It is expected that the Guigang-based industrial park will be inspired by Yiwu’s development experience to further improve its trade and service capabilities, and promote more products with Guigang feature to the world, according to Yan Jiuqiu, director of Guigang Municipal People’s Congress Standing Committee.
