Aitech Launches Rugged AI GPGPU Boards for Defense Edge Computing

Chatsworth, Calif. – September 12, 2026 -- Aitech has unveiled the 3U VPX C530 and SOSA-aligned U-C5300 GPGPU boards, delivering up to 9,728 CUDA cores, 304 Tensor Cores and 76 ray-tracing cores for defense and aerospace platforms. The rugged AI accelerators produce up to 35.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute performance and 576 GB/s of memory bandwidth, targeting real-time AI inference at the tactical edge.

New boards replace prior-generation GPGPU configurations without increasing size, weight or power

The C530 and U-C5300 succeed Aitech's previous rugged GPU line, giving system integrators and mission computer manufacturers higher AI inference throughput and enhanced graphics performance within the same SWaP envelope. Both boards support PCIe Gen4 connectivity, CUDA software tools, and Windows and Linux operating systems.

MINISFORUM Debuts 131 TOPS Edge AI Systems at IFA 2026

Berlin – September 08, 2026 -- MINISFORUM has launched two edge AI computing systems built on AMD's Ryzen AI MAX+ PRO 495 processor, delivering up to 131 TOPS of AI compute performance for enterprise and developer workloads. The AI Mini Workstation MS-S1 MAX-P495 and the AI Agent NAS N5 MAX-P495 were unveiled at IFA Berlin, where they are on display in Hall 6.2-104 through September 8.

New systems pack 192GB memory and 160GB of graphics memory for large-model workloads

Both devices run on the Ryzen AI MAX+ PRO 495 chip and support up to 192GB of memory at 8533 MT/s, with as much as 160GB allocatable as graphics memory. MINISFORUM positions the specification as sufficient to run larger AI models and more complex inference workloads directly on local hardware rather than in the cloud.
