Vecow SPC-6000 Fanless Embedded PC is Powered by an Atom x6425RE Elkhart Lake Processor

Since the official launch of the Elkhart Lake processor family last month, we’ve covered a Pico-ITX SBC, a 3.5-inch SBC, and several CoM’s following SMARC, Q7, COM Express, and other system-on-module standards.

So far, we had not found any Elkhart Lake mini PCs, but Vecow SPC-6000 fanless embedded PC powered by an Intel Atom x6425RE processor is one of the first such solutions offered from the market, and supports 2.5 Gbps Ethernet with TSN support.

Vecom SPC-6000 embedded computer support Windows 10 and Linux, and the company provide wallmount mounting bracket, as well as an optional DIN rail mount. The company also highlights the system is optimized for VHub one-stop AIoT Solution Service which supports OpenVINO based AI accelerators and advanced Edge AI applications for faster development of AI powered computer vision applications.

As noted by LinuxGizmos, Intel Atom x6425RE is not the fastest Atom 6000-series processor per se, as it lacks Turbo mode, but it’s the more powerful one of the family that also supports Intel Time Coordinated Computing (TCC) and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) features often used in real-time industrial IoT networks.

The Elkhart Lake embedded PC offers 40% faster computing and up to 2x better 3D graphics performance compared to the former Gemini Lake generation, and targets AIoT applications for Smart retail, factory automation, traffic vision, robotic control, and other AIoT/Industry 4.0 applications.
