DFI and DEEPX Redefine Smart Cities with Edge AI at CES 2025

DFI, a global leader in embedded motherboards and industrial computers, will partner with DEEPX at CES Show to introduce cutting-edge industrial edge AI platforms integrated with the DX-M1 AI accelerator. The collaboration aims to advance application-specific AI for smarter, more sustainable cities.

According to Research and Markets, the global edge AI market is expected to grow at a 20.54% CAGR, rising from US$23.571 billion in 2024 to US$59.978 billion by 2029. To meet this demand, DFI integrates DEEPX DX-M1 AI accelerators into its platforms, delivering high-performance and energy-efficient AI solutions tailored to industry needs.

Revolutionary DEEPX DX-M1 AI Accelerator

The DEEPX DX-M1 AI Accelerator is a powerful chip designed to make artificial intelligence tasks faster and more energy-efficient. It can handle:

• Real-time processing of over 16 video channels at once, making it suitable for complex tasks.
• High precision, similar to GPUs, delivering more than 30 frames per second for smooth performance.
• Energy-efficient AI power, reaching up to 25 TOPs (Trillions of Operations Per Second) while keeping energy use low.

This technology is perfect for industries like robotics, machine vision, and smart factories, where it efficiently performs advanced tasks such as object recognition and image classification, essential for automation and smart city development.

DFI’s Edge AI innovations for smart cities

DFI will introduce two compact, fan-less systems—the EC710-ASL and EC600-RPS—featuring the DEEPX DX-M1 AI accelerator. These systems are built to handle real-time tasks crucial for smart cities, such as:

• Smart transportation to optimize traffic flow.
• Surveillance systems for better urban security.
• Accident prevention to improve road safety.

Powered by Intel® processors and Intel® Time Coordinated Computing (TCC) technology, they deliver fast and precise performance with minimal delays, making them ideal for advanced city-wide solutions.
