AAEON Unveils BOXER-8741AI Powered by NVIDIA Jetson Thor for Next-Gen AI Edge Computing

Revolutionizing AI Performance with Cutting-Edge Hardware

Taipei, Taiwan – August 28, 2025 – AAEON, a global frontrunner in edge AI technology, has revealed the development schedule for its groundbreaking BOXER-8741AI system. This innovative platform marks the first integration of NVIDIA’s latest Jetson Thor module, setting a new benchmark in AI edge computing.

Unmatched Processing Power and Energy Efficiency

The BOXER-8741AI combines a bespoke carrier board with the embedded NVIDIA Jetson Thor module, delivering a substantial leap in AI processing capabilities and scalability. Leveraging NVIDIA’s advanced Blackwell GPU architecture, this module offers up to 7.5 times the AI computational power and 3.5 times the energy efficiency compared to the previous Jetson AGX Orin platform. With an impressive peak performance of 2070 FP4 TFLOPs, the BOXER-8741AI is engineered to meet the demands of sophisticated AI applications.

Designed for Complex AI-Driven Applications

Targeted at high-performance use cases such as humanoid robotics, intelligent healthcare devices, and autonomous machinery, the BOXER-8741AI supports real-time AI inference and multi-sensor data fusion. The system is slated for sample availability in September 2025, with full-scale production commencing in November.

Robust Connectivity for High-Speed Data Transfer

Equipped with four QSFP28 ports supporting 25GbE speeds and four RJ45 Ethernet ports (three at 1GbE and one at 5GbE), the BOXER-8741AI ensures seamless, high-throughput communication. This extensive wired networking capability facilitates synchronized, real-time data acquisition from multiple vision sensors, critical for AI workloads requiring low latency and high bandwidth.

Comprehensive I/O for Real-Time Control

The platform also features multiple serial communication interfaces, including four DB-9 connectors and two RS-485 ports. Complemented by 8-bit GPIO headers, I2C, and UART interfaces, these enable precise real-time control and integration with robotic actuators and autonomous systems.

Advanced Software Ecosystem with NVIDIA Jetpack 7

Supporting NVIDIA Jetpack 7, the BOXER-8741AI provides developers access to an enhanced suite of AI tools and libraries. The Jetson Thor module runs the NVIDIA AI software stack tailored for physical AI applications, including NVIDIA Holoscan for sensor data processing, NVIDIA Metropolis for intelligent video analytics, and NVIDIA Isaac for robotics development.

Leadership Insight

Alex Hsueh, Associate Vice President of AAEON’s Smart Platform Division, expressed enthusiasm about the new product: “The rapid evolution of AI technology has opened unprecedented opportunities. By integrating the powerful Jetson Thor module with our robust hardware design, we are empowering customers to push the boundaries of AI innovation.”
