The UP Xtreme i14 from AAEON is a 120 x 123mm (4.7″ x 4.8″) computer board with support for up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 H-series Meteor Lake processor, support for up to four displays, four M.2 slots for NVMe storage, AI accelerators, wireless cards, and other add-ons, a SATA connector, and a 40-pin GPIO header. broadcast monitor
In other words, it’s a versatile board that you could use to build your own mini PC. But with prices starting at $749 during pre-orders, there are cheaper options if you just want a small computer with a Meteor Lake processor. Instead AAEON positions this as a board that can be used for retail, industrial, robotics, or other commercial applications.
The UP Xtreme i14 is the latest in a long line of AAEON products sold under the UP brand. Intel may have moved beyond the Core i3/i5/i7 branding for its latest processors, and the company does not refer to Meteor Lake processors as 14th-gen Core chips, but that hasn’t stopped AAEON from sticking with to the same naming convention the company has used on previous models, so the UP Xtreme i14 is a direct successor to the UP Xtreme i12 that launched a few years ago.
While the UP Shop refers to these as single-board computers, I’m a little wary of using that description for a product with four M.2 slots and no onboard wireless. But the UP Xtreme i14 does have a processor and LPDDR5-6400 memory soldered to the mainboard.
The $749 starting price will get you a model with an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processor and 16GB of RAM. You can also opt for a Core Ultra 7 155H/32GB model for $959. Keep in mind that neither configuration includes storage or an operating system: you’ll have to provide your own.
According to the official spec sheet, AAEON may also offer models with Core Ultra 5 135H or Core Ultra 7 165H processor options and up to 64GB of RAM.
There are also a set of ports that include:
AAEON says the board can handle Windows 10 or newer operating systems, as well as GNU/Linux distributions running kernel version 6.5 or later including Ubuntu 22.04.
