Avalue EMX-PTLP Intel Core Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake) Thin ITX Motherboards with Quad Display and 12 to 24 V DC Input

Edge AI projects increasingly want inference, video output and control I/O on one small board rather than a PC plus a separate accelerator. The Avalue EMX-PTLP series puts Intel Core Ultra Series 3 Panther Lake processors on a 170 x 170 mm Thin ITX board, with AI performance rated at up to 50 TOPS, four independent displays and fast NVMe storage, in a size that fits slim kiosks, vision cabinets and panel enclosures.

Both EMX-PTLP boards take two DDR5 SO-DIMMs of up to 64 GB in total. Intel Xe3 graphics drives HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a at up to 7680 x 4320 at 60 Hz, two USB-C ports with DisplayPort Alt Mode at up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz, and internal eDP 1.4 and dual-channel LVDS connectors, with up to four independent displays. TPM 2.0 is fitted, and a uBMC controller supports remote out-of-band management. Avalue lists Windows 11 and Linux.

The range has two builds. EMX-PTLP-H404-A1R uses the Intel Core Ultra 5 325 with eight cores, eight threads and a 25 W TDP, rated at 47 TOPS, with DDR5 at 6400 MHz. EMX-PTLP-H484-A1R uses the Core Ultra 7 356H with 16 cores, 16 threads and a 25 W TDP, rated at 50 TOPS, with DDR5 at 7200 MHz, and adds a PCIe x8 Gen 5 slot for a capture, network or I/O card.

Networking is one 2.5GbE port on an Intel I226LM controller and one GbE port on an Intel I210AT controller, so a camera or device network and the plant uplink each get their own port. Four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and three internal USB 2.0 connections take cameras and peripherals. Five COM headers, two RS-232/422/485 and three RS-232, plus 16-bit DIO connect PLCs and triggers. Two M.2 M-key 2280 slots take NVMe SSDs, one at PCIe x4 Gen 5 and one at PCIe x4 Gen 4, an M.2 B-key with a SIM slot takes 4G or GNSS, and an M.2 E-key takes Wi-Fi.

Power is 12 to 24 V DC with AT or ATX power modes. Both EMX-PTLP builds operate from 0 to 60 °C with 0.5 m/s airflow, run with an active CPU cooler and carry CE, FCC and RoHS compliance. For the previous Intel Core Ultra generation on the same board size, see the EMX-MTLP series.
