Vecow EVS-3000 AI computing systems combine 14th Gen Intel Core CPUs and MXM Graphics for Edge AI applications

Vecow has introduced the EVS-3000 series, a new line of AI computing systems powered by Intel Core i9/i7/i5/i3 (14th Gen) processors with embedded MXM graphics. These systems deliver high computing power, come with multiple PCIe slots for expansion, and support remote monitoring making them ideal for edge AI applications such as autonomous robotics, public security, and machine vision.

The EVS-3000 series includes both fan and fanless models: EVS-3100, EVS-3200, EVS-3300, EVS-3400 without fans, and EVS-3100(F), EVS-3200(F), EVS-3300(F), EVS-3400(F) with fans. All systems are powered by Intel R680E chipsets and feature compact NVIDIA or AMD MXM graphics, with support for 2.5GbE LAN, Out-of-Band (OOB) management, and multiple PCIe Gen 4 slots. These systems deliver high performance for AI computing at the edge for applications such as machine vision and robotics.

As you may know, we’ve previously covered several Vecow AI computing systems, including the TGS-1000 Series, SPC-9000 fanless embedded system, ECX-3200, EAC-5000, and EPBC-1000. Feel free to explore these options if you’re interested.
