The BOXER-8300AI Series features improved thermal design, allowing the Intel® Movidius™ Myriad™ X to operate at higher temperatures without loss of performance.

The BOXER-8310AI offers users entry-level value and performance in a compact fanless system. Small enough to fit almost anywhere, this embedded AI@Edge system is powered by a choice of Intel® Pentium™ N4200 or Intel® Celeron™ N3350 processors with up to 8 GB of RAM. The BOXER-8310AI features one AI Core X module, providing users with processing capability to power AI solutions such as traffic monitoring, people counting, or even smart retail solutions. With its improved thermal design, the BOXER-8310AI can operate easily in temperatures from -20°C to as high as 55°C

The BOXER-8320AI brings the power of the 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i3 Mobile Processor as well as two AI Core X modules, offering processing speeds up to 210 fps (160 typical). The fanless BOXER-8320AI is built with a din-rail mount design and form factor, allowing it to easily integrate into any industrial space, or control cabinet. The advanced thermal design of the BOXER-8320AI allows it to operate in conditions from -20°C to 60°C. With the power of the Intel® Core™ i3 processor and two AI Core X modules, the BOXER-8320AI can be used in high-performance AI applications such as smart security, facial recognition, and more.

The BOXER-8300AI series offers users several advantages over other embedded AI@Edge systems. All BOXER-8300AI systems are compatible with the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit, allowing users to run AI inferences on existing frameworks (such as TensorFlow or Caffe) or to create their own. The BOXER-8300AI supports expandable storage, supporting the full suite of Linux and Ubuntu.
