Advantech SKY-MXM-A4500 NVIDIA RTX A4500 Embedded 16GB MXM 3.1 Type B+ Graphics Card with 115W Power Draw

Embedded systems that run large vision models or drive several high-resolution displays can need more GPU than a Type A module provides. The SKY-MXM-A4500 is the NVIDIA RTX A4500 Embedded from Advantech, an MXM graphics card in the MXM 3.1 Type B+ format built on the Ampere GA104 GPU. It suits graphics, video and AI work in embedded systems designed around a Type B+ slot and its thermal solution.

The GPU has 5,888 CUDA cores, 46 RT Cores and 184 Tensor Cores. In the discrete build it runs at a 930 MHz base and 1,500 MHz boost clock for 17.66 TFLOPS FP32 at 115 W, and the MS-Hybrid build runs at 510 MHz and 1,215 MHz for 14.3 TFLOPS at 80 W. Memory is 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit interface at 512 GB/s, which gives room for larger models and several high-resolution display surfaces.

The SKY-MXM-A4500 connects over MXM 3.1 with PCI Express Gen3 x16 and provides four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs at up to 4K 120 Hz or 8K 60 Hz with DSC, with HDMI 2.0 at 4K 60 Hz through DP dual mode. The ordering part numbers are SKY-MXM-A4500-6SDA for discrete mode and SKY-MXM-A4500-6SHA for MS-Hybrid mode. Type B+ modules need a proprietary thermal solution, and Advantech offers a fan cooler or a heat spreader. Operation is 0 °C to 55 °C, dependent on CPU and cooler solution, with storage from -40 °C to 85 °C.

We supply the SKY-MXM-A4500 tested, and fit, configure and burn-in test it in the MXM GPU computers we build, with the thermal solution designed into the system. Advantech supports five years’ availability. The SKY-MXM-5000A is the Ada Lovelace Type B+ module with 16 GB of ECC GDDR6, and the SKY-MXM-A2000 is the 8 GB Ampere module in the Type A format.
